Smarter people tend to be more outgoing and happy, to have fewer problems falling to sleep and staying asleep, to be less manic, and to be less psychotic, prone to ADHD, etc.

Polygenic scores can now meaningfully distinguish between embryos for health traits and, critically, intelligence. Our comprehensive pleiotropy analysis suggests that concerns about hidden trade-offs are largely unfounded, in fact, our data indicates that screening for cognitive ability is associated with broadly positive psychological and health outcomes. We think that when negative pleiotropy exists, parents should be made aware of it to inform their choice of which embryo to implant.

this is interesting because my view has always been that people of higher IQ tend to be unhappier because they know too much of how the world operates (the dark parts of the world that are usually hidden)
something about ignorance is blessing and most of society operates with inconscious incompetence (hence happier)
like how most philosophers think themselves into depression eventually

you basically only want to read interviews with people way before they became important, or when they know they’re incredibly close to death.
people still in the middle of things can never be honest, they always will always tell you pleasant little fictions

The Gellman Amnesia Effect
The Gell-Mann Effect, also called the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect, describes a cognitive bias describing the tendency of individuals to critically assess media reports in a domain they are knowledgeable about, yet continue to trust reporting in other areas despite recognizing similar potential inaccuracies.
"Everything you read in the newspapers is absolutely true except for the rare story of which you happen to have firsthand knowledge."
