    Education isn’t 1 to 1 with intelligence, it’s mostly a wealth test in the US. Though I’d argue the phenomenon is more to do with being exposed to different people and wider cultural beliefs than raw intelligence, anyways.

      Education also matters because it teaches critical thinking and epistemology. You can be highly intelligent, but if you don’t have any critical thinking skills and an understanding of the rules of evidence, you can still be easily misled and otherwise manipulated.
