I couldn’t find the original UN article which is why I was referencing the FEE one. Also, while I quoted the bit about “empowered intellectuals” I assumed that was pro-capitalist cynicism towards education and community due to the heavily pro-capitalist slant in the rest of the FEE article. I kinda figured everyone else picked up on that too.
Thanks for the link! I’ll have to read the original in a bit.
I’m unironically amazed that Texas is supposedly perfectly average while California is below average. I bet it’s all the Texas engineers offsetting the Texas bigots, while the California techbros offset the California tech geniuses.
(I’m saying this as a Texan)
