Sometimes scientists find results that most of us already know intuitively.
This study links High IQ with reduced risk of death.
In my opinion, stupidity is nothing more than "Darwin in Action." You know, the human version of natural selection or survival of the fittest.
We all shake our heads when some idiot decides to play chicken with a train.
In my mind, stupidity serves a very useful purpose. It weeds out the weak and unfit from our gene pool. The immediate result may suck, but over time, the accumulation of stupid actions by many individuals improves the quality of our species leaving only the best and brightest around to reproduce.
Darwin was right.
These results may be a no-brainer, but sometimes it helps to verify with reproducible results.
