Not sure what he looked like, but it doesn't matter to me. I see him as a philosopher before the Gutenberg press that was not associated with the Pharisees (established philosophical order). There have been many Jesus personalities throughout history, every religion has one as a voice to convey useful advice.

He gave such good advice about how to navigate hardships without the pressure of tithing that he has since been revered as supernatural.

--5,000 fed with 5 loaves and 2 fish:

I used to think everyone was fed "magically" with whole portions. Now I realize it was a communal exercise, and the lesson learned was how to share and make sure everyone gets an equal piece (even though everyone just got a small crumb).

--Water to wine

Once again, as a child I thought he violated laws of physics. Alcohol is a depressant and excessive use can hinder productivity of the citizenry. Under the advisement of Jesus, the man without ties to the Church, word spread to replace wine with water. Water to wine; pez to Xanex.

--The poor woman and the blind man

I recall one story where there was a poor woman without food, and Jesus was able to scrounge up enough flour from her own storage containers to produce a meal. Once again, thought it was magic. But he came into her home and helped her assess her resources.

Mud on the blind mans eyes? Impossible to cure blindness like that - but he wasn't literally blind. Unfortunate circumstances likely provoked a depression that pushed him into pretending to be blind and beg - free money. Not the way an able bodied citizen should behave. The revered Jesus came to him and performed a ceremony with the audience consisting of locals that had walked by the blind beggar every day. Now he is "cured" in front of all and he can end the act safely using Jesus' supernatural status as a catalyst. Probably got a job the same day - no more begging. Productivity of the village slightly improved.

Lazarus "raised from dead" is another example of this - a depressed guy shutting out the world could be considered dead. Jesus brings him back to the tribe. Another able-bodied person returning to the economy.

If we assume religion is an early form of software engineering used to instill practical economic ideals and morals into society through simple parables and metaphors: Jesus was the software update everyone was ready for, but had to be killed off because embezzlement-prone-tithing-proceeds were probably being threatened. This kind of sacrifice effectively locked in his doctrines.
