  This was the first google result. California is 48th. And that of course includes all the smarties in silicon valley who I assume bring up the average. https://www.inc.com/bill-murphy-jr/we-compared-average-iq-score-in-all-50-states-results-are-eye-opening.html https://www.inc.com/bill-murphy-jr/we-compared-average-iq-sc...

    Wonder what the ranked order looks like for "% of population attending or employed by a university".

    And the Asian immigrants. People from south of the border are bringing the average down hard.

  Nothing personal, but this kind of comment really grind my gears. When I read a claim like the one made in that comment, I take that as a lead and am grateful that someone brought light to that POV so I can explore more, e.g. freaking google it. The [Citation Needed] approach would make all comments boringly long and harder to write, all conversations white-paper like, which isn't bad of course, but has its place. How many times I felt lazy and just dropped my comment because I knew that the [Citation Needed] comments were bound to come, and while I have a good insight about the subject, I had no will to spend more energy on that nor any inclination for taking flak from lazier unconstructive commenters.

    So you don't mind if I make insane claims that have no basis in reality?
