The one about most rural people have a 2 digit IQ. I am rural and to say the least mine is above 2 digits. I have neighbors who are school teachers, lawyers and doctors. Simply because we are rural country dwellers does not mean we have low IQ's. Even farmers have above average IQ's. Do you know a farmer has to figure out how many bags of seed he will need per acre before planting? He has to average in all the costs of fuel, equipment and time it takes to grow before harvest. Not to mention I have friends who live out the road from me who work in automotive factories (just as I once did) who have to pass factory tests before even being hired. They have to check their parts to see that they're in spec before sending them down the line. So I'd say, there are as many people who live in the country with high IQ's as there are in the city. I'm sure there are a lot of 2 digits walking around the city too, as I used to be a city dweller and have met a few of them myself. Check your sauce before you go spouting about low IQ's. Remember, farmers feed the world and we're not all poor low class people living in the country.
You're obviously not "most people". You are not aware of most people outside your bubble either. How many countries have you visited? I didn't say all rural people. Anyway, its just a general statement to make a point that higher IQ is not important.
If you read my comments carefully, I am hinting lower the IQ, better the person is, its a compliment. Not an insult. Jeez.. snowflake much? I have highest respect and adoration towards farmers. I wish I was you (without the unnecessary sensitive part) based on your explanation. I have been gardening and know how hard it is and totally understand what you explained. But I am not sure that's exactly the standard IQ that they refer to. What you explained is years of wisdom, intuition, discernment, attuned with nature and experience carried out through generations - which, once again is far superior than 2 digit IQ. Higher IQ leads to too much brain function causing stress.
I don't care about "class" of people as understood in the mainstream, its just an illusion, a state of mind. In my view, farmers are the highest class, because they are mostly independent, giving and life nourishing people. The state of being "poor" is only because of our corrupt financial system, which I am sure someday will collapse. At that time farmers should be revered as kings.
No, I am not a snowflake and thank you for your explanation. It is just that when I visit other states and tell people where I am from, I have to listen to the hillbilly sexually joked about sayings as if I'm a backwoods hick or something. I know I am not the only one who feels this way, so I try and stick up for us people every chance I get because they look at us as if we are the characters from the movie 'Deliverance.' So it kind of touches a sore spot of mine when people refer to us as if we are a low IQ class of dumb butts. So I'm sorry if I misread your statement. I simply wanted to set the record straight. Thanks again for your explanation. Have a much blessed day.
Really?? What gives you that thought?
what do you mean? Which one?
