Science: Rural idiots smart, City smarties dumb

Children raised in a rural environment, surrounded by animals and bacteria-laden dust, grow up to have more stress-resilient immune systems and might be at lower risk of mental illness than pet-free city dwellers, according to new research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

Seems like P-NAS (lol) is dropping a bomb on the libtards today.

One thing I've noticed about driving around in rural areas is that everything smells like cowshit. Or worse, pigshit. Conservatives olfactorily BTFO.

Good news for the sheep fuckers here.

This literally doesn't say anything about intelligence either way.

It says high stress enviroments are more likely to contribute to mental illness.

Mental illness is not intelligence. In fact, the highly intelligent have a significant risk for mental health issues.

Holy stupid. And ironic.

If immune resistance is the same as intelligence, Nobel Laureates must just be guys that eat feces all days and fuck bareback.

This is likely linked to the current TDS disparity in rural areas.

I understand how upset facts like genetic fitness makes people but sadly we all need to accept that all of these liberals are mentally ill collectivists gone insane off of pollution and overcrowded living conditions.

This thread with be ripe with anecdotal arguments and name calling from both ends

 

[TheFirstEMP]

Makes sense as to why so many large city liberals have mental illnesses.

You wouldn't be able to spell fact if google didn't spell check for you.

This disastrous OP aside, the study is kind of interesting. We already knew that the immune system works through exposure, so it makes sense that being more exposed at a young age leads to a healthier immune system when you're older. When I was in high school my friends were what I would consider germaphobes. One time I licked the bottom of a ketchup bottle at Denny's just to prove to them nothing would happen. They acted like I just stuck myself with a used syringe.

I would be curious to know more about it's effects on stress, though, and if the results are just correlation. It sounded like they were trying to test exposure to bacteria to healthy immune system, and chose people from radically different environments. But the environments are radically different and there are a lot of factors that could affect someones reaction to stress. So I'm interested in whether the immune system itself is the cause or if other environmental issues (like congestion, pollution, increased crime, etc) are the actual cause.

Like these genetically fit conservatives?

Tougher? Yes. Smarter? That depends on what you consider smart. If you consider being able to use the resources you have in the most effective ways, then maybe. If you're talking book smart, maybe not so much. But, based on what I saw in the OP, you're talking about resiliency and mental health.

Obviously I'm talking about being both tougher and smarter

The article he posted is talking about resiliency and mental health. He's talking about being smarter, because he apparently wants to step all over his own point.




I'd argue that being book smart and being effective with your resources aren't mutually exclusive. I guess it depends on what you consider effective use of resources though - it's a pretty broad statement.

There is nothing obvious about what you're talking about because you couldn't even read what you posted and demonstrate that you actually understood it.
