It did at one time. You needed to be among other minds to learn. Then the Internet happened. At this point, that is what is leading to intellectual development. And decline of course. Works both ways.

I'm sure the ratlike city dwellers would like to think so. But history and my observations don't bear that idea out.
Most of the founders of this country, learned men, were rural farmers. There's nothing sophisticated about living jammed up in a huge building like a bunch of rats.
Any hillbilly I know could tell you the same.

not necessarily, but urbanisation does open up a lot of opportunities for intellectual development though.

It's truly relative to what the individual experiences and how they're able to adapt to their surroundings. Statistically it makes sense because urban scenarios tend to have more interactions or resources at their disposal. However, if you brought a city slicker and left them to fend for themselves in the wilderness compared to an individual who already is solely dependent on nature, the city slicker naturally would have the disadvantage and the inverse applies for the wilderness person in the city. I would say that urbanization is more apt for such development, but it truly depends on what resources are available and how the individual reacts to their surroundings.

No, cityfolk are not smarter than hillbillies.
