  3. Being smarter would help improve my life by giving me more help through school to get a better job and have more ideas about how to teach and assess students. I think people can be “too smart.” Sometimes when you are too smart, you might not have very good common sense or social skills. I think I am “smart enough” right now Being 50% smarter would put my IQ into the highest percentile in the world, while being 50% stronger would only push me into the top 10-15% percentile. I would rather be remembered as the guy who cured cancer, won the Nobel Prize, and out-sold (and marketed) Apple all in the same year, than the guy who could bench-press 330 lbs.

  4. While I will reach my physical prime in the next decade and then those skills will atrophe, I will be able to enjoy the intellectual increase for decades more. I would rather be of average intelligence and get my lackluster physical abilities, including my (illegible) up to average. I think that one can gain physical capabilities easier than intellectual capability, so choosing to be smarter would be better. I believe that with strength comes street smarts and I would rather use my street smarts than book smarts.

  5. A 50% increase in physical abilities would easily place me at the apex of human abiity. The benefits of the 50% increase in strength could therefore more easily be taken advantage of. What’s the point of being strong if the babes never see you in the gym putting in the work? At the moment I am pretty satisfied with my intelligence. But with 50% greater physical capacity I could really take my running to the next level. (If I were smarter) I could figure out smarter, more efficient ways to be fit.

  6. Being a professional athlete comes with a large salary and a leisure-based lifestyle. I think that sometimes ignorance is bliss and intelligence doesn’t equate with wisdom. Being more intellectual could afford me many more professional opportunities. I would want to be smarter because then I wouldn’t have to study as much to pass my classes. With my extra time I would go to the gym to also get more physically fit.
