Lax: Cornell at Princeton, Saturday Night

[jtn27]

Brown women, although very intelligent tended toward short, and homely.  Didn't matter to me, guys my age are invisible to 'em anyway.**]

Daniel Seligman in Fortune magazine, as he was going from contrarian to cantankerous (and to Forbes), claimed that the best looking coeds in the world attended Ivy League schools. His argument being that the Ivies turn out rich guys, not all handsome, who are able to meet, marry, and breed with attractive women. Then in the next generation his brains and her looks get their offspring into the Ivies as well. Um, wouldn't that mean the men would also be better looking? Tim, we must have attended before the Seligman Rule took effect. (Seligman argued that IQ is partly "heritable" and also argued there are meaningful differences in IQ among the races. Seligman died the week Obama was inaugurated.)

If you are visible to Brown women, their observations might make you wish you weren't.

But what if they get his looks and her brains? Or just an average of both?

An issue of grave concern in the UK when Charles married Diana. It could have gone either way.
