<p>Well, US has been “importing” a lot of talents. Even many Nobel winners are foreign-born. Not to mention this is about “average”. Certainly we have many of the brightest in the world but if you are talking about average, I think you are wrong to think US should be anywhere near the top. I came from Hong Kong and definitely think the average is higher there. Over there, everything seems so well-run and people are fast and efficient even at the low-level jobs like cashier at supermarkets.</p>
