It was not an attempt to spread a meme or feel a sense of superiority. My comment was an observation of a cultural difference that is not even really confined to the south. It’s more about rural and urban differences. I can only speak about the south because it is what I have experienced. A culture that is at its root regressive, anti-science and anti-intellectual should not be surprised when it does not succeed in a modern world.
