Does anyone else feel like 90% of the population is stupid?

To clarify here, I don't feel like I'm significantly smarter than most people, but I feel like people have a hard time doing any sort of thinking about stuff. Especially when it comes to verifying "facts."

I think what upsets me the most is that people refuse to learn from past mistakes.

It's a lot easier to deny that you're wrong than to learn something new.

easier to a fool a man, than it is to convince him he's been fooled.
