Vermont is the most educated state, so it is probably because we are actually aware of all the terrible stuff going on (eg, climate change, covid, systemic naked short selling and impending financial collapse, etc)

This is untrue, MA is the most educated state, Vermont is #8 I believe. And if DC were considered a state, it would beat everyone

Nope, Vermonts always been in the back half of the top 10. I used to think what you did but realized it was probably the superiority complex I think a lot of Vermonters have.

Don’t forget watching hopelessly as the worst parts of the country dive headfirst in the christofascism.

Yeah. Ive actually considered registering as a republican just in case they eventually use their jerrymandering software to output a hit list once the christofascists go full nazi

How little control we have over anything and the passage of time, a great combination!

Good point, I think overall we also have a population that's very engaged and participates at a higher rate in studies and polls.

Very much this. We used to play the would you rather game a bunch. One card was Would you rather be Beautiful and dumb or really smart and very unattractive. Time and time again the answer was the first one, "Ignorance is bliss"

Was going to say something similar. Ignorance truly is bliss I guess.

The most educated state nobody can afford to live in with no industry. Sounds like people were studying the wrong things.
