Are educated people more likely to be wealthy or are wealthy people more likely to be educated?I haven't misrepresented what you've said, I've put it in the context that actually the less educated tend to be the ones with the worst emotional intelligence, so regardless how you want to label it, the result is the same.
I'm just not a fan of underplaying the role of education, sorry if that offends.
Wealth (and therefore security) is a better indicator for EI than education.
That educated people are likely to have higher EI is down to educated people generally being more wealthy, and therefore more secure - not that being educated directly releases the inner EI.
Otherwise you wouldn't have the current Tory party - all highly (or expensively?) educated.
You're trying to imply that I've said that educated people can't be empathetic, which is just a fantastical reading of what's been written. What I said, was that in my view, at any level of comparative education leave voters were less emotionally intelligent than remain voters.
My argument - based on Lefty's questions and related to my own experience - is that, regardless of education, the people I know that display a higher level of empathetic thinking, were more likely to vote remain.
