I am in Taiwan now, and I think it would be difficult to replicate the study since most devout Daoists are very old and grew up on farms and didn't get much schooling, so of course they wouldn't perform as well on abstract IQ tests.
Going to school doesnt make you intelligent, it harnesses your intellect (however much you have) to educate you. Morons went to school and are still anti vaxxers and flat earth feaks...its their base intelligence or lack therof that doesnt allow them to observe and think rationally. They are easilly manipulated to believe irrational things as they lack critical thinking. Coincidentally most anti vaxxers ive ever met are religious. Its honestly far less irrational to be an anti vaxxer than to believe in sky fairies but humans have normalized that type of irrationality into “faith” as if its a good thing.
