    Remember that half of the population is below 100 IQ

    That’s not a sensible reading of a bell curve. Roughly 70% of the population should be within one standard deviation of 100 IQ, putting them roughly on par with one another

        Since statistics isn’t a standard high school course, no.

        But that’s got nothing to do with intelligence. It has to do with the typical mathematics rubric for the median member of the population.

      Both of our statements are true. Yours focuses on the fact that most people are average ish.

      If you want to fence about it though, my point is that most people are too dumb to not be force fed auch tropes.

      Call me elitist if you’d like. I don’t dislike people like that. I just understand that producers need to cater to them.
