Few can compensate being under six feet. Even Tom Cruise is a little fellow that's trying his best...

True.

But for the intelligence part, MOST human beings are pants-on-head retarded (at least, to me; I've lived in several countries across the world and it's all the same; not just Americans) and most of the world is run by people either slightly less stupid or slightly dumber than even that. I'd say being intelligent in an era that can't define what a woman is, and pretends "pronouns" in introductions shouldn't get you laughed out the room as a childish idiot, is more of a curse than anything. That's how Demoralization works; the dumb ones are the sheep who just go along with it and obey.
