    I’m starting to realize how easily fooled people are by this stuff. The average person cannot be this stupid, and yet, they are.

      The average IQ is 100. That is not a lot and half of the population is below that. I’m more surprised how bad our education system is in filtering out the dumb people. Someone who is ‘not smart’ but has good memory and is diligent can make it frighteningly far in our society. Not to mention nepo babies who are a different kind of problem

        Good memory is also part of being smart, besides problem-solving and thinking under pressure. But yeah nepo-babies do cause serious problem.

        Tho also iq doesn’t matter as much. Tests are in a specific branch of math, you can literally study for the IQ test.
