"I've thought long and hard about the Texas problem", as John Steinbeck says.

One of the biggest mysteries to me is how a place that somehow prides itself on anti-intellectualism has the Texas Monthly, an enduring source of really interesting writing.

Thank you, Texas, for continuing to confound me.

Is it really a mystery? Perhaps stereotypes and political majorities don't accurately describe anywhere near 100% of the people they're applied to?

By a similar standard, the US as a whole is anti-intellectual. And yet...

I mean, Texas is the second largest state by population.

Also, California has more republicans/conservatives than Texas and it's a blue state. So yea, that's how population statistics work.
