I too am curious about where this information concerning low IQs comes from. Some of the most intelligent people I know are from Tennessee (Oak Ridge area anyway).
- waterlesscloud 14y agoChattanooga isn't Oakridge. Like Alabama isn't all like Huntsville. Those are isolated research centers that attract top talent. Having said that, Chattanooga isn't a bad town. It's got a decent arts community for a small city, for example. And it's very obviously trying to improve its standing in the world, which presents some opportunities all on its own. It would be right for some people, not right for others. Getting along with people who aren't like you would probably be a useful skill, for example.
- droithomme 14y agoI am sure we have friends in common who work at Oak Ridge. I said nothing about Oak Ridge, I commented on the general intellectual environment in Chattanooga, which is based on having personally lived there, made friends with, and talked to many many people, and comparing this to experiences in other regions.
- Xcelerate 14y agoAlright, I guess I incorrectly inferred that you were referring to Tennessee in general from your experiences within Chattanooga.
