Is there a Heaven to Hell brain drain?

Question

In the UK, and I suspect other places too, we have what's termed a brain drain. When people in certain areas become more educated or skilled they leave their hometown and move to an area with better jobs. This leaves the dumb people behind and the area declines even further.

Now I've been thinking, if most scientists and well educated people are atheists we should see a brain drain towards Hell. This will leave heaven occupied by nice but dim folk. In time, thanks to this imbalance Hell should evolve into a nicer place than heaven thanks to the high population of hard working intelligent people.

A lot of the doctors in the USA are liberals and atheists. I used to live in New York, and all the best and most well-educated and well-paid doctors lived there or in new jersey, which is close to New York.

In the conservative areas, more people are more uneducated, with no jobs, living near dairy farms out in the middle of bum fuck nowhere.

Conservatives also support billionaires like trump and Elon musk. I don't know why they think billionaires care about them. Recently, a judge struck down student loan forgiveness. Whenever someone is trying to fix a problem, the conservatives attempt to stop it.

Many conservatives are working-class people stuck working at McDonald's. When there are programs that come out to help assist, like student loans, they get more than just a career at McDonald's; they side with the billionaires and say it's wrong because they think it's communism.

They rather kiss the asses of rich people and live in poverty. They erect barriers for themselves and other working-class people.

I am well educated, have no student loans, and own a business, and I take advantage of these right-wing idiots. All I have to do is say I support trump, and their hard-working money is mine.

Not sure. But I'm all for colonizing space and having a battery of tests to gain entry. Test for things like logical thinking, common sense, critical thinking and emotional control. An IQ test and a physiological write up that includes things like ones ability to deal with harsh realities and look past preconceived notions as well as a persons ability to look past their internalized bias.

The entry process would be a needed wake up call for some. Because people quickly become surprised by who gains access and who does not. You would end up seeing a "worth stoner" gain access and see a highly touted political or social figure get quickly turned away.

God knows everything. He even knows things that scientists don't, like the mysterious force that animates carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen into a living creature. Scientists, by comparison, are dumb.

Yeap. Most intelligent people go to hell, and what heaven is stuck with are the idiots who play with rattle snakes all day.

I love the way you think.

You're probably right, first, but the picture is actually the better point in terms of how many go where. But, Billy Joel said it best in Only The Good Die Young: "the sinners are much more fun."

Given the religious notions about what qualifies a person for Heaven, it always seemed like only the most boring, up-tight people went there. Therefore, it stands to reason that all the smart, fun people would go to Hell.

I don't believe in mythology, so I don't believe in the existence of gods, Valhalla, Heaven Hell, or Hades.

I don’t believe there’s any scripture suggesting either heaven or hell are reflections of Earth in the slightest. One is meant to be a reward for a generally righteous life and the other a punishment for heathenism.
Not that it matters. Nobody seems to be investing in the ever after anyway. The only reason i do hope there really is a hell. See ya there, buttholes! Ell oh ell!

There probably would be! While not a set rule it is of course true that atheists score notably higher on IQ tests, are over-represented within higher education professions and so on. But honestly the very notion of hell, its existence and what it would be is pretty much not agreed upon at all and a reasonably modern invention.

Point stands though. Amusing thought.

Well, we do not need to set up a scientific experiment to find the answer. This has already been done. There are 2959 scientists per capita in the U. K. and 1859 scientists per capita in the United States. 95% of Americans believe in God, whereas only 33% of the U. K. believes in God. So, if your theory were correct, then the U. K. would be nicer. However, we all know it's a rainy shithole full of athiests and a big clock that should be torn down.

I think there's a huge difference between the poetic side of the brain and the side which has no problem comprehending quantum physics. There is the artistic type of truth vs. the scientific type.

Just because a person is an atheist doesn't mean they automatically take the southbound expressway. If they're "good people", they can climb the stairs.

You're confused, as the opposite is true. Most dim witted people are cruel and evil. Clever people are good and often religious - just not nuts.

It's definitely a thing in certain professions. The solution is to give locals free education in the field on the stipulation that they serve the community that covers the cost for a number of years. Seems like a relatively fair and simple solution.

Yes. The smart ones start thinking too much and then they start questioning the All Mighty... and before you know it they are evil Commie atheists.

Maybe the skyway is jammed? I imagine there were no elevators when that was written and only stairs were around, not sure where the highway came from but it probably has gridlock now to hell
