Let's face it, you are neither of them, but if you could be, what would you choose?

I'd rather be ugly and poor.

Sexy.

Good thing I already am...

If you're rich then you don't need to be the other two.

I'd rather be a woman

you need to define the extent of the wiseness/beauty/richness.
but assuming one is very high and at the same time the other 2 are very low we have 3 scenarios:


1. if you're extremely wise you could become extremely rich and then buy beauty, happiness and whatever you need/want.
2. if you're extremely beautiful but you're stupid and poor you're probably not gonna do much
3. if you're filthy rich but ugly and stupid, you're probably gonna have some fun while money lasts, then end up in a gutter cause you didn't have the smarts to manage your wealth.

so obvious choice is #1. or kittens.

Seems to me that dumb, ugly people get more of everything than me so... look att bill gates

Three notes on that.
1) Buying beauty is not so easy, plenty of people have tried plastic surgery on totally failed, it has also been shown that money doesn't equate happiness as someone who has won big time on the lottery is not happier than he used to be for more than a couple of months after the win.
2) Plenty of movie stars aren't smart nor were they born rich and they still managed to make a lot of money in the business. Tom Cruise is a prime example of that, his family was poor and he's not bright but he's good looking and that's why he has made it.
3) Donald Trump is rich but neither good looking or smart and he's still not going to end up in a gutter anytime soon.

1. beauty is very subjective and it's not about a achieving a certain standard but rather about loving yourself. the people that have dozens of plastic surgeries and end up hideous monsters keep doing it because no matter how much they try they'll never become beautiful in their own eyes. an extremely wise man can and will make the right choices for his plastic surgeries. as for happiness, the lottery winners are mostly bellow-average when it comes to their intellect so they completely mismanaged their new situation. an extremely wise person would know how to put lottery winnings to good use and achieve happiness.

2 & 3. i've bolded the part that makes these 2 points irrelevant. tom cruise is not a complete retard. he might not be a genius but he's probably at least average. had he been a complete retard he would have never amounted to anything more than a beautiful face. same for donald trump. if he were a complete retard he'd squander away all his money, but his current level intelligence permits him to make good decisions even if he's not a brilliant mind.

I don't think it makes sense to go to extremes then, as it's hard to even imagine someone being so dumb that Tom Cruise, who believes in scientology, is smart in comparison. "Not being smart" shouldn't equal "being retarded".

ah, ok then if we're talking about one of them being great while the other 2 are just average the situation gets somewhat complicated.

1. very intelligent, average looks, average wealth. good combo in my opinion, and my preferred choice.
2. average intelligence, very good looking, average wealth. that's great for becoming an actor/model, make good use of your looks while they last and you can get rich. or you can just live a regular life as a very good looking person.
3. average intelligence, average looks, lots of wealth. this is just life on easy mode.

Since I'm already two of those options, I'm not going to participate.

kuthoer wrote:I'd rather be ugly and poor.

Bullshit.

I'm going with Rich.

Rich nullifies beauty. Wealth can buy everything beauty can bring you.

Wealth can't buy you wisdom, but wisdom rarely brings you happiness. If ignorance is bliss and wealth is power I'd rather be happy and powerful.

Needless to say ugly stupid rich people with power is what make life shit for the rest of us, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be fun to be in their little club.

this is the key and the OP was very vague about the stipulations.

If I chose wisdom, do I look like Jabba the Hutt and own absolutely 0 things?

If I chose beauty, would I own absolutely 0 things and have an IQ of 4?

If I chose wealth, would I look like Jabba the Hutt and have an IQ of 4?

Since I'm beautiful, I'd like to start life as ugly and poor. I hate having the doors open for me strictly because I'm so good looking. Like to see if I'd be successful if I was as butt ugly as you.

Multiple posts are confusing smarts/intelligence for wise/wisdom. They are not the same thing at all. You can be wise but not intelligent, or you can be smart but not wise. The title references wisdom not intelligence.
