From wikipedia, G(p,T) = H - TS where p = pressure, T = temperature, H = enthalpy, and S = entropy. 'Hotness' is not H. H is enthalpy which is the energy necessary to create the reactants. To create someone beautiful or smart or both takes energy. It is the worth of the reactants to an extent, and encompasses both beauty/health and smarts and other energy sinks. S = entropy which is the degree of disorder/craziness/bad health. T is literally temp the energy of typical collisions. p = freq
It's simple statistics. Beauty and intelligence are each rare traits in the population, i.e. few people possess either one of them, so the probability of a person possessing even one of these traits is already pretty low. So being beautiful is like winning a genetic lottery. And being intelligent is also like winning a genetic lottery. So being BOTH beautiful and intelligent is like winning two lotteries, which is highly unlikely (though not impossible).
It isn't just intellect it is more about ignorance. Most Americans don't know the difference and don't care, and that is what we call willful ignorance.
whatever argument you have here, it would probably be more convincing if you'd picked people who are actually attractive to represent beautiful yet dumb people.
also, i find that most females who are considered ugly aren't inherently repulsive-looking. they just hide behind their glasses, wear the wrong clothes or hairstyle, and either can't or won't understand the power of makeup. with that in mind, i find it difficult to even accept the premise of this video.
Physical chemistry explanations aside, how do you explain the phenomenon, as was graphically shown, that physical attractiveness is inversely proportional to intellectual attractiveness?
Easyben21, thanks for the comment. Im writing and doing videos on a topic that is several decades if not a few hundred years ahead of its time. Most people dont think of themselves as a molecule. After a degree in chemical engineering, however, this point of view tends to emerge.

@AsciiSillyQuestion That's a good first jab into a what, invariably, is as Rosetta stone - Pandora's box subject.

@craigslistflow It's a little more complicated than that. Read the thermodynamics section in the Beckhap's law link of the drop menu.
