Is the median person there dumber than the median person in the rest of the world?

Or are they eating shit, because eating shit is the path of least resistance, and median person travels down the path of least resistance, and if you set up your society such that the path of least resistance results in horrible outcomes, you're going to get horrible outcomes?

It’s not necessarily “dumber”—culture is a thing too. Attitudes towards food and what food to cook and how much to eat are deeply cultural.
