“I don’t want anyone,” I said fiercely. “I want you. Your wit and intelligence, your kindness and charm. The way your eyes crinkle when you laugh and how your smile makes the world tilt just a little bit. I even want the disgusting food combinations you put together and somehow make taste good.”

the Nicomachean Ethics
Productive laziness is not just about being lazy, it requires something more –and that is a powerful and magical combination of laziness and intelligence.
Sense of humour, confidence, charisma, intelligence, cultured, skilled at a craft, the list goes on.
This isn’t to say you cannot deploy a mixed bag. One could plausibly be confident, well dressed, funny, positive, a leader, wealthy and caring and achieve a 10 in the opinion of many women and men. However, for universal 10 status, the physical traits have a consistent impact.
“Still, statistically the probability that there are other thinking beings out there is good. Nobody knows how many stars there are in the Milky Way – estimates range from a hundred billion or so to perhaps four hundred billion – and the Milky Way is just one of a hundred and forty billion or so other galaxies, many of them even larger than ours. In the 1960s, a professor at Cornell named Frank Drake, excited by such whopping numbers, worked out a famous equation designed to calculate the chances of advanced life existing in the cosmos, based on a series of diminishing probabilities. Under Drake’s equation you divide the number of stars in a selected portion of the universe by the number of stars that are likely to have planetary systems; divide that by the number of planetary systems that could theoretically support life; divide that by the number on which life, having arisen, advances to a state of intelligence; and so on. At each such division, the number shrinks colossally – yet even with the most conservative inputs the number of advanced civilizations just in the Milky Way always works out to be somewhere in the millions.”

Sorgulamak yetmez derine inmeden havada asılı kalır bazı şeyler
Kuşkuculuğu yüksek zeka olarak göstermek isterler ama aslında kolay yolu seçiyorlardır - herhangi bir fikre karşı savlar üretmek ve kenarda durup darbeyi indirmek daha kolaydır.
They want to portray scepticism as high intelligence, but in fact they are taking the easy way out - it is easier to come up with counter-arguments to any idea and then stand on the sidelines and take the hit.
