Why is it that the smartest 1% of men and women I know are 98% athletic?

I know a hedge fund guy that climbed the Grand Canyon uphill over 8 hours in one day with his genius I. Q. And Ivy League wife and they were over 50 when they did it.

My friend’s hedge fund husband lost 220 pounds in under 9 months in his late 20s and is now slimmer than a track and field athlete in his 40s.

My dad’s super genius friend gets up before 6 in the winter to row his boat for at least 45 minutes and also does competitive swimming to maintain his body. My dad says his friend is one of the smartest guys he’s ever met.

My dad has another genius I. Q. Best friend who walks 32 kilometres a day to get to and from work because he is afraid to drive due to poor hand eye coordination.

I know another genius I. Q. Hedge fund trader who climbed 5 miles uphill as a ten year old on vacation with his extremely gifted father. His I. Q Is 160.

Some might say their high intelligence was caused by their rigorous athletic skills.

Because high achievers are, high achievers. Often in more than one thing, and very competitive.

I think the constants are a Type A personality.

People of high intelligence are more likely to have the financial wherewithal to do things like climb mountains in Tibet. Also, exercise is key to maintaining health and intelligent people are more likely to set aside the time for it.

Health and fitness is a wise thing to pursue. It goes hand in hand with intelligence to realise the benefits to health, mood and virality to exercise and eat right.

It's funny that you think the "Ivy League" and "hedge fund managers" are smart as they teach woke bullshit and companies crash into the floor daily due to woke messaging. These people people are stupid.

What a bunch of lemming walking off a cliff...
