Educational attainment may also be correlated with economics rather than IQ. And IQ as traditionally defined is a narrow range of cognitive abilities, mostly based on logic and spatial manipulation. The raw innate IQ of someone who can see what is what - a BS barometer or raw instinct for those who aren't into touch feely terms like quantum intuitive insight, are probably more prevalent in those with less "education," since education is largely a way of co-opting rather than liberating minds. Look at how many intelligent people have been tracked through Harvard/MIT/Broad institute/The Edge/WEF. So these people are co-opted either through promise of power, the seduction of ego and playing with those in power (or sleeping with them) or idealistic illusions of becoming leaders and influencers of a better world. This is just high class brainwashing but it seems to occur among those with high IQ, hence I don't think IQ is the issue, but whether one is susceptible to giving one's power away to others.
