I want the intelligence, but could I settle for my current level of attractiveness?
I have always taken the metaphorical red pill when given a chance. I would rather live in pain and suffering knowing the truth, than living in ignorance and happiness.
And I don’t mind being ugly. I’m a misanthrope anyhow. Being ugly just means you are more likely to be left alone.
If I'm very smart, I could just use my intelligence to make money and then get beauty surgery.
If I'm that smart maybe I can work out how to make myself beautiful too.
I'm an introvert so I'm going for very intelligent.
Can I so intelligent as to quickly figure out how to CRISPR-Cas9 my looks or does tge wish prevent me from changing my appearance?
You could be Hermann Rorschach or Hedy Lamarr, and be both!
That guy really looks like Bradd Pitt
Brad Pitt was one of the first people to try the time travel machine invented in 2030; however when attempting to make a career by introducing 21st century technology in the early 1900s, the only thing he could manage to reproduce was ink blots and folding paper.
Hermann looks like a Hollywood actor
Those people definitely aren't below average attractiveness.
Smart because if I ever started getting into making videos for my fictional P²EMG company, would needs the smarts to make a v-Tuber model of my fursona work, alongside some other tools I won't disclose.
i'm already dumb and cute, take a hike genie
Beautiful.
I am already both, so I would tell that genie to EAT ITTTT
Ignorance is bliss.
Smarts.
Not beautiful anyway. I'll take the smarts
Intelligence can be attractive too! And even in the cases where it's not, I think I can always go for surgery or something if it's really that bad.
Intelligence can be learnt, but it's much harder than say, correcting one's facial features or getting into shape imo.
Maybe it would be a more difficult choice if it was between Intelligence or Constitution (i.e. physical health)
