Not the smartest bunch. Unfortunately, that bunch seems to encompass 30-40 percent of the American population.

Half of all people are dumber than average.

Half are dumber than the median, not the average (although they're probably close)

There are different types of average, median being one of them. What you are thinking of as the average, is probably the mean. Median, mean and mode are all types of average.

Weirdly the mean statistic says that we are all stupid. It also says we have ugly shoes for some reason.

Trump has made a great litmus test for shitty humans. They even wear hats so we don't have to waste our time trying to find out their beliefs through dialogue.

I feel like there's gotta be some really smart outliers skewing that average

Half of all people are dumber than the median. I am assuming the mean is actually higher than the median so chances are way more than half of all people are dumber than what people normally think of when they think average.

I mean, I know this is probably a joke but you're not wrong. There's only one average person, everyone else is either above or below the metric.
