Well that sometimes keeps the conversation clean though. Most computer people seem to be a little more intelligent than the average person.

Lack of diversity can create stagnation problems and biases that go unchallenged, which is why you see communities with barriers of entry always seem to have very specific kinds of cultures or attitudes.

Intelligence isnt a linear scale. There are so many skills out there, so many things to learn. You might consider tech people more intelligent because the skills they have are the ones you recognise as intelligent.
