Also, was traveling away from the "elite coasts" and there are so many brain-dead adults. Seriously stupid stupid people*--- that I am reminded that our kids will be the top 5% of intellects without even trying. *I do not know if it's the geo, or drugs, or these people were dropped on their heads. It was astonishing and very eye-opening. [/quote]

That’s a really awful thing to say. [/quote]

Trust me. I felt awful thinking it. But I was blown away. I'm still processing. People are not wrong about our elite bubbles I guess. [/quote]

Well, think about it a little. All groups are self-selected to a certain degree.
The folks attracted to urban areas where there is high competition are usually characterized by ambition, motivation and the intellect to get them to their goals. There are of course such folks in middle America but the bright cities certainly attracts many of the ambitious moths to them. So that's maybe why there is a disproportionate number of go-getters in and near the cities.[/quote]
