It is likely that being educated and bright (which also tend to correlate, one tends to give the other) makes you more optimistic and self-reliant than being uneducated and dull. And once you are optimistic and enjoy yourself, then life extension seems more positive. Of course, these are mainly correlations, there are plenty of exceptions.
Just goes to show that bootstrapping one area of life can help other areas.
