  Or! OR! Downgrade your brain so you’re just dumb enough to feel constant happiness.

  Does happiness increase or decrease with intelligence? What if your brain upgrade becomes an emotional downgrade?

    You could always downgrade your brain again after you’re done.

    Does happiness increase or decrease with intelligence?

    Is there even a correlation?

      Looked it up. Seems there happiness does not decrease with intelligence. I would have assumed the more intelligence you have the more capacity to understand and worry about problems you would have.

        Intelligence gives you the ability to understand these things, and can also give you the understanding that worrying about the things you can’t change is of no benefit and the ability to then put those things aside so you can focus on changing the things you can improve.

        That doesn’t always come naturally, but it’s a valuable thing to practice.

        Yea, but happiness is a weird thing. After live changing events, both positive and negative happiness is impacted for a while, but after a couple of month most people gravitate back to their default happiness level.
