“Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”
― George Carlin
Unfriendly reminder that one half of US adults read at a 6th grade level. When you think the average person is stupid, be aware of how incredibly stupid that is
Edit: don’t use this as an excuse to feel high and mighty, though. On average, you’re average, and you can’t know what level you read at without getting tested.
Nah, educating people is a lost cause. Who are we to educate anyone, anyway? Educate yourself, then whoever wants can rub off your education
Most of the people think their above average.
You not replying makes me think you didn’t do that misspelling on purpose, which is way more funny.
People not being able to grasp basic shit like how to use there, their and they’re correctly shows how dumb most people are.
You’re probably sure you’re above average, right?
I’m good at a few things and average or worse at everything else. It’s a wash
They’re*
Most people are way above (possibly in the top 1%) the average in a bunch of things.

This is allegedly also why true geniuses suffer. Imagine being smarter than 95% of people and being keenly aware of it.
I’m in my schools gifted program. That means you need an IQ in the top 10% (iirc) and tbh nobody there thinks that they’re smart. Literally everyone there is a dumbass who thinks in numbers slightly more often than non gifted kids.
Also add on top the statistical likelihood to be autistic/ADHD (twice exceptional is very common btw), myself being both! It’s just a normal class where those 2 or 3 kids who constantly yell/act up aren’t there and on Fridays the teacher lets you make a windmill out of a paper plate, old paint brushes, and air dry clay. Last year the teacher accidentally made the finals answers all A. Tbh I’m just in it for my resume.On Halloween she let us draw on the board
Then played toddler sensory videos
The people who are “keenly aware of it” always smell like they pissed on their pants zipper.
Did I ever tell you the story about [Cowboys], and [m-midgets], and the Indians and fron-frontier psychiatrist? [I-I-I felt strangely hypnotised I was in another world], a world of twenty-[twenty thousand girls]
Many dumb people are too dumb to even realize that they’re dumb.
This is just Socrates.
Just saying this proactively: Half the people are dumber than the Median, not the Average.
