Nonsense. Atlanta should be prominently represented, since it is the computing hub of the entire Southeastern United States. It is also the home city of the Center for Disease Control, sporting 14,000 employees in Atlanta alone. The CDC has as an AVERAGE level of education of Master of Sciences. There are many PhDs there. It is also a structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering hub.

Read my last post Laz. There might not be a city in the WORLD with more dumb people dragging them down than Atlanta.
DALTON is smarter than Atlanta per capita. That should scare you to death!

If this is a per-capita measurement, perhaps you are right.
I would, however, argue that intelligence is not an aggregated function. We are not hive minds. Therefore the means and/or medians don't matter. It is the exceptional and individual intelligence that matters to making a city more functional, more livable.
The dumber among us do not engineer, maintain, and improve the efficient power grids, the sewer and water systems, the telecom and internet networks, the traffic conduits. The more intelligent do.

It’s concentrated intelligence in small markets that makes their stupid list. Simple as that.

I would offer that the authors of this list have demonstrated a lack of intelligence. :)

They are all college towns. Six of the top ten are in the Big Ten.

Burlington, NC. You must be kidding me. At least 40% of the population doesn’t speak English and 30% of the rest think BBQ comes from the grocery store. I am soooo ashamed.

It’s obvious to me that the people in REALLY smart cities (like conservative Colorado Springs) don’t feel they have to “improve” their intelligence by playing games on the internet.

Boulder, CO, is on the list ? It is full or retards! Colorado Springs and southeastern Denver has 99% of the brainiacs in Colorado. Boulder couldn’t support Apple or Sun Microsystems so they closed. The other places I mentioned have a vast amount of aerospace, telecom, aviation, etc.

Yeah, well I didn’t compile the list. I just posted it - as well as explaining what I thought it’s flaws were.
Take it up with Boulder. In fact, invade them. They seem like a bunch of assholes anyway.
