Americans are the most intellectual people on the earth. According to a report published in the latest issue of prestigious Foreign Policy magazine.

An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself, said French-Algerian writer-philosopher Albert Camus; turns out that someone is keeping track of intellectuals too.

The latest issue of the influential Foreign Policy magazine has identified the world's Top 100 "public intellectuals", in its second such exercise, awarding America - and the United States - with more cerebral heft than any other continent or country.

lol, I think I'd have to disagree with your conclusion there!! America's size would obviously give it the most on the list in terms of quantity, but its number is about the same as Europe as a whole.
