Pretty big assumption that intelligence is as inherent as beauty.

There are a lot of environmental factors that contribute to intelligence, not to mention a lot of neuro issues.

There is no pill for beauty but there are several for ADHD.

There are pills for beauty. Look at Kylie Jenner, you think that's all natural? In fact I'd say you have less control over intelligence then you do over beauty.

Growing up with a poor diet and lack of nutrients will make your skin look bad, you won’t grow as tall, and you’ll be overall less attractive. Many environmental factors directly contribute to one’s’ perceived attractiveness.

A lot of beauty is just keeping healthy and dressing well. Arguably the same as intelligence. A lot you can control, a bit is luck.

A lot of intelligence is studying hard, but you can't control whether or not you actually have the desire to pursue such a vector.

The same for looks. You can eat healthy and look after yourself, but not control if you want to.

Beauty has just as many caveats as intelligence.

“You’re not ugly, just poor.” Is a saying for a reason. There’s plastic surgery, ozempic, having the time/drive to work out consistently, dressing well, eating well, etc etc.

People can improve their beauty score by 2-3 points if they have the drive and/or money.

Intelligence is more inherent than beauty. Its 85% heritable by adulthood.

> There is no pill for beauty

There are in fact many. Grooming, diet, exercise, apparel, cosmetics, supplements, dentistry, surgery, non-surgical treatments.

A wise person once said, "there are no ugly people, only poor people."
