Fair point, but the ones who make good and come home to start their careers & businesses aren’t exactly thin on the ground either. I’d argue that smart people in the country are more easily over-mustered by the volume of morons with the lower overall crowd counts way out in the country. You’re certainly not going to see assemblies of brainiacs, even small ones of 1 doz. very often in towns/hamlets/villages of fewer than 1000 people. The smart ones are there, but maybe keeping themselves occupied out from underfoot of the rowdies?
