Okay, I'll bite...
First critique is that this has nothing to do with intelligence which this concedes...NOR does it have anything to do with "understanding the world around you". This does have potential implications in skills and presentation of oneself, but to use the terms smarter or intelligence is an extreme misnomer designed to draw attention and controversy.
2nd...this definitely does not extend to all conservatives, all Ivy League conservatives or even all college educated conservatives. By this token, I'm a "smarter" liberal b/c I've lived in staunchly red states my entire life, and while yes, attending college did mean I found more people who think like me, I have met just as many who don't.
These types of articles do nothing to advance conversation, just to spread more distrust.
