Some are born handsome, they rarely put work into how they look and still manage to look fine those that do put in work come out as movie stars ,others are born not so handsome but they put in a good amount of work in how they look like and they turn out to look just as handsome those that don't put in any work come out as ugly ducklings.
Is it genetics? Definitely yes.
Is it Malleable? Definitely yes.
Being handsome is not all there is to being a movie star. And they don't put any further work into it, their crews do.
Terrible, ignorant analogy.
If I wanted to talk about movie stars I'd write an essay on movie stars. If I wanted to give a simpler view of intelligence I'd give a general picture of intelligence by providing a simple analogy.
It's becoming rather convincing that you have a 140 IQ right now.
