Notes -
I remember a friend once made a reasonable argument that if he had his choice he we would be 'really rich and really stupid'. He had a caveat that his money would be managed by someone else. Then he would spend his money on stupid and simple things that made him happy.
I remember some rednecks in a youtube once that were rich 'from the lottery?' and they built a monster truck track on their property and just threw parties and did stupid stuff all the time.
Edit: I should say he explained that a lot of it was chasing happiness and he figured the easiest way to do it was through an 'ignorance is bliss' approach to the world. He wouldn't know what he was missing out on and he wouldn't have the anxiety that often pairs with intelligence.
Reasonable. I did a cliche where you get to be a great athlete but you have to be really dumb as a trade-off, but most pro-athletes my gut says are above average intelligence. Something like 11 out of the last 14 Super Bowl winning QB scored above a 25 wonderlich, that’s a position that does require more intelligence.
Nobody here wants to bite the bullet and say they would take 20m a year and get to crazy athletic stuff with the downside that the outside world makes no sense to you.
