"They may be a little more high brow than we are"

This quote by David Talbot recommends that there is a distinction between the speaker and the people they are referring to. The speaker suggests that the people they are referring to are more sophisticated and cultured than they are. This could mean that the people they are referring to have a higher level of education, more understanding of the arts, or a more refined taste in culture. It might also mean that individuals they are referring to are more socially mindful and have a better understanding of the world around them. The speaker is implying that they are not as knowledgeable or as cultured as individuals they are referring to, however they still appreciate them for their higher level of understanding.
