Because they can afford it, they are very sought after.

And smart people usually have moral convictions.

I know for some people on this website it's hard to understand, but not everything in life is about $$$

Are you sure you don't just like the moral convictions and so engage in trait bundling?

Moral knowledge doesn't really exist. I mean you can have personal views on it, but the lack of falsifiability makes me suspect it wouldn't be well-correlated with intelligence.

Smarter people can discuss more layered or chic moral theories as they relate to theoretical AI, maybe.
