If I could choose between staying ugly but having a 150 IQ or staying stupid but being a 9/10 in looks, I would choose the former. At least with a high IQ I could cope by diving into some complicated subject like math, comp sci, physics or whatever and going to grad school. I’d be able to support myself and be independent, and I could distract my mind from thinking about my ugliness. Or, I could invent or discover something useful and get rich off of it.
The problem with having a low IQ is that, unless you’re born into wealth or very good looking, you’re destined to work shitty, replaceable jobs surrounded by shitty, stupid, impulsive, non self-aware people, and you’ll barely make enough to survive. You’ll be working until your 80s, slaving away for minimum wage, making high IQ people richer by the hour while you work to prevent yourself from being homeless. Coping is tough because you can’t distract yourself with learning since you can’t fucking learn anyways, so you’ll have to resort to things like video games, movies, tv, or music, which all can get old pretty fast. Or drugs and alcohol, which could result in addiction and cause you to lose your shitty job. Honestly, if you have a high IQ, be thankful, because being ugly, low IQ, and self-aware is objectively worse than the same but being high IQ.
