Excellent Article in the Atlantic
I think one major disadvantage of being stupid is in getting financial services. If you aren't smart, you'll get ripped off. Particularly pre-financial crisis, credit card companies, auto lenders, banks, etc. will come with a bunch of tricks that rip people off. These companies are much smarter than the average Joe. And then as a society, we often say the solution is financial education rather than treating people fairly.
