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."

Think about how stupid the average person is, then realize that half of the population is stupider than that.
That's not how averagwa work.
A median is an average and is exactly that.
Intelligence also tends to be a bell curve distribution which means the mean is likely that way too. Also means the mode, the final type of average, is also likely in the middle.
On average, I think it balances out
It kinda is, but only if intelligence is perfectly normally distributed. (Spoilers, it kinda is)
