It's Over Being born prematurely via C section might have retarded my phenotypic IQ below my genetic potential

[Horatio Ludwiczek]

Title. Ofc, downwards regression to the mean is the norm for most offspring of high IQ parents, (parent child IQ correlation of 0.45)

But as I was born prematurely, I can't help but wonder if I could have been a 160-170 IQ genius if I didn't have any birth complications as premature birth is negatively correlated with IQ

You weren't born if you were a c section baby

Semantics

Hmmm

If I had to choose looks, I would choose to be an idol pretty boy like Cha Eun Woo or one of the 4 great beauties of ancient china

Its not just looks, its strength, athleticism, robustness, resistance to illness, longevity.
In any case, its better to be low IQ high T Chang than these prettyboys that you posted.

Health and longevity are positively correlated with IQ

Strength and athleticism not so (negative correlation)

High IQ k genos tend to be on the taller and skinnier side

I'm sure neoteny and facial harmony are also good indicators of health and longevity just like IQ (perhaps not strength nor athleticism)

So I would prefer being pretty boy to maximize appeal with young foids when I'm in my prime years

Bullshit.

Robustness is all that matters. The weaker and more gracile your natural constitution is, the more you're prone to developing illnesses. This is because robustness is genetically built through physical stress over hundreds of generations and its this kind of stress which improves the functioning of all organs, not just the musculoskeletal system.

Over.

 

[Ricecel Sungnodius]

Fuck off. You already have a high enough iq.

 

[Horatio Ludwiczek]

You can never have too high of an IQ

It seems that your genetic potential is at its ceiling to be honest
