Is there any correlation between attractiveness and raw intelligence? I have a theory that the uglier you are, the smarter you can be. This isn't because I myself am ugly, either. Unfortunately, I'm objectively attractive. But think of a man like Socrates, who was notoriously ugly and arguably one of the smartest people to ever live, (if he did in fact exist). Thoughts?

I think it's just due to the odds of winning the genetic lottery in every department.
Same reason most facially attractive men have small penises, while guys with donkey dicks are almost always ugly as sin.

Are you saying he's attractive? Cause I'd have to disagree. I mean he's not unattractive either. Sort of plain looking really

All the studies done about this show that attractiveness and intelligence are positively correlated

Healthier people tend to be more intelligent. Symmetry is a good indicator of health. Nothing balances out, and people can be very attractive and very intelligent.

I apologize that you think the discovery of calculus is on the same level as some Greeks arguing the difference between mind and brain

This, as far as I'm aware.
Life isn't an RPG. Some people roll high in everything.

Yep. It's because intelligence leads to wealth, and wealth leads to an attractive wife.

Reductionism is only as smart as the one using it. Don't act like it has any fundamental flaws, it doesn't.
>inb4 constructivism
Constructivism, in practice, is just reductionism that confuses itself about, and ultimately, ignores, scale and delineation between discrete objects. It's reductionism refuses to acknowledge its own arbitrary underpinnings.
