If they were ditzy as the people in the video, making millions, would we look at them differently?

Money does NOT command respect, in my book, so no. They would still be fools.

Intelligence and formal education are not a 1:1 ratio. Plenty of smart 'uneducated' people in many parts of the world. While a villager in China may not know calculus, I'm sure I can't catch a chicken (trust me on this, I've tried).

Yeah, my grandmother used to have chickens in her backyard. Long story short, we had to 'dispose' of them, so we we're gonna cook 'em up all up - only one who could catch them was my aunt who was raised in a village in China... imagine a bunch of MDs, PhDs, MAs running around trying to catch 3 chickens, and one villager laughing at us... she caught 'em all under 3 min.

Our neighbor has a couple of chickens (I didn't know Long Beach was zoned for poultry... ). One got out and ended up in our backyard. We could not catch it.....man those things can turn on 1/2 a dime........so we both chased/guided it down the alley to her house. It tried to fly up onto a neighbor's wall and the owner grabbed it.
Yep, FLEW! Apparently when a chicken is young they can fly a bit, then later they do not....put THAT as a question!
