Would you rather have intelligence or perpetual happiness?
No, picking intelligence does not mean perpetual depression.
Clarification: Choice 1 states that you will be happy for ever, as a function of who you are and your traits.
Choice 2 states that you will have intelligence, but will have to work for happiness.

I would say happiness, because if your happy you may not find a need for intelligence But if your intelligent you could still have a longing for happiness... But who is to say that intelligence won't bring you happiness or that happiness may somehow lead you to becoming more intelligent...? [spoiler]Good thing it's just hypothetical.[/spoiler]
