Intelligence is a function in most every country. It’s like a slaughterhouse or a sewage processing plant: we all enjoy comfort thanks to their existence but most of us would rather not hang out around them or know how the sausage is made, so-to-speak.

Don't think poor countries are in any way more moral, they just have less capacity for overconsumption or exploitation of others.
