One of them is on the list.

The topic subject says "metros."

Cambridge is not the core city of its own metro; it's across the Charles River from Boston, which is.

I was not asking about rocket science. I was asking about intellectualism.

Most of those computers were built on site by locals and are used by brilliant, uber educated scientists and engineers . I never said that automatically makes them the most intellectual, but it's an interesting list.

That's a far more interesting contribution to a thread than scornful whining. Wouldnt u agree?

SO, you just added what you want to boost your general area, rather than stick with the subject of the thread?

Ever live in Boston? Can't throw a text book without hitting a PhD.
Harvard, MIT, BU, BC, Wellesley, NE Conservatory, then the Hospitals and coffee shops filled with brilliant MDs,
the Prep Schools of the Stuck Up in the area...so many smaller schools for Architecture and the Arts....then, the
educated Lees, Grants, Proctors, (knew the kids) - so many Blue Blood Mayflowers, haughty Civil War Elite!

Haha this thread is about the metros with the most intellectual people.

Scientists and engineers at that level are considered among the most brilliant people in the world. That list gives us an idea of where many of them live and work.

And if you thought that was braggy, then this is going to make you puke:

The Bay Area also hosts 4 national laboratories

Scientists and engineers are intelligent, yes, my brothers are both engineers (computer), and they live in the Chicago metro. One owns his own business, and the other had his Master's from U of Illinois....one of the top universities for computer science. They are smart off the charts, but neither is a highbrow. They can talk about pretty much anything, and know what they're talking about, but highbrow, they're not. They don't sit around and discuss highbrow things, just as your scientists and engineers, most likely, do not, either.

Your map shows nothing about "highbrow."

I guess I have to add a couple things to my post here, as I just noticed your "Get over it" comment. You live in the city that I just visited, where people were sleeping, defecating, approaching people, and the list goes on. To continue to NEVER broach that subject, shows you have a disassociation with the problems your city faces. Broaden your horizons, and read something about your city, that addresses these problems, instead of pretending none of this exists. In other words, "Get off your high horse." (These articles are everywhere, if you open your eyes. Oh, and pictures, too).
