I don't think an easy life would necessarily be a good life.

It all comes down to would you rather be Paris Hilton or Albert Einstein.

Believe me I know the guy REAL WELL, infact he was talking one day how he was calculating the way in making a electron microchip in his head while mowing someones lawn. then he said this is verbatim " I think of all that, and I'm here doing this." Yes it's all about self-fulment that's indicitive to ones drive in attaining happiness

Dumb blond or "crazy" old man? Although I rather enjoy being female, I'd have to go with Einstein. Actually, let's go for Freud. I could really play with people's minds.

sounds kinda like my dad... my dad's IQ is in the 150 range, but he's squandered every opportunity in his life (we grew up very poor), until just recently he had drug problems, and although he's always kept a job, it's always been something very beneath his 'intelligence'... my dad is smart enough to be making 150k/yr and driving a new car every year--but, something went wrong somewhere...

and as far as intelligence goes, it's, depending on how you look at it, a very broad or a very narrow scope... IQ is almost like a sponge--the bigger the sponge, the more water you can soak up--thus, the higher the IQ, the easier you can absorb knowledge and assimilate it with previously gained knowledge and put it together as something you can USE to your 'advantage'... it's all about motivation, ambition, and so many different factors that a man with a 100 IQ could become the richest man in the world while nobody's heard of the lady that has a 210 IQ (even though technically she should probably be way ahead of the rest of us)--IQ is almost like 'potential,' that dirty word... the higher the IQ, the higher the potential, but as it's been said ad nauseam, it doesn't mean jack unless you USE that potential

...Depends on ones point of view, as does any of this, but you're probably right.

Take the Intelligence and make the money so you know how to keep it in YOUR pocket and not "Some OTHER" Don Kings!

Given the options, I think I'll take being a dumb, homely, rich guy over being a handsome, homeless philosopher.

Assuming whatever choice you make means you are excluded from the other two, I'd have to say "money". The barriers of fugly looks and lack of intelligence can largely be overcome by lots of money. (Just ask our President.)

There are lots of intelligent people who never make it rich. Good looks for a man are of even less value, and their usefullness pretty much dries up sometime around age 25. (Beyond that, they are more likely to just get you in trouble.)
