Colorado is a specialist state and that's why I'm justified to think it sucks

I realized one thing when I got back from Brazil: I'm just not a Colorado kind of a person. I know some may say I am judging prematurely. After all I have lived only in Fort Collins, for just a year. It's not like I'm an expert in all things Colorado. But all views or "expertise" on any state is just an abstraction of that person's impressions, and so accuracy of the views is really not an issue. Can anyone accurately know a sate? How much information do you have to have in order for anyone to be an expert of a state? How can you know the characteristics of a state accurately anyways? And how do you judge the accuracy of your views on a state? In another words, why would my negative thoughts about Colorado be wrong? Because they differ from some "accurate" views?

Anyways, I think Colorado sucks. It makes my soul wither. Now, I hated it when non-Californians talked about how California sucked while still living in California. And I understand that what I am doing sounds like the same thing. But I'm going to argue otherwise.

Colorado attracts much more narrower variety of people compared to California. If you value mountains and outdoors highly, then Colorado is your place. If you don't, then you probably would move out of Colorado when you have a chance. California, on the other hand, offers more variety. You can live near the coast if you like the ocean (and can afford it). If you value liberal culture then there is San Francisco. If you want to be a celebrity, LA is your place. You don't have to move out of California because you don't like the main characteristics of whichever place you happen to be in.

Because Colorado is less varied than California, generalizations of Colorado are more accurate than of California. The imaginary distribution curve of state characteristics is narrower for Colorado, and so describing the mean with a fixed standard deviation will encompass more proportion of the total area under the curve than for California. Also, the number of observation necessary is smaller for Colorado. Narrow variance makes the likely hood of an observation being the mean higher. This makes it more accurate to generalize about Colorado than California.

Since the generalization is more accurate and it is harder to escape it, you are more justified to think Colorado sucks than to think California sucks. I admit that this argument doesn't counter the real reason I hated "California sucks" talk. My response was "get out of California if you don't like it." If anything the argument above makes the response more pertinent. It really aims at the action of actually saying "Colorado sucks" instead of thinking it. The response highlights the fact that there are alternatives, like moving out of the state. So, I am more justified in thinking "Colorado sucks". But actual act of saying "Colorado sucks" is less justified, if this makes any sense. And yes, I am planning my escape.
