This reminds me of a UX lecture I attended in undergrad in the UK.
The lecturer flashes up a picture and says "who is this?". There is a sea of blank faces as a reply. The picture was of Roy Chubby Brown [1] who by some measures was the most popular comedian in Britain at the time. Out of nearly 100 people no one had any idea.
You are not average. Not even close.
- Terr_ 10y agoBut how do you know the "average" person knows the most popular comedian in the first place? There's one day of the year which is the "most popular" birthday for a population, but that doesn't mean a huge percentage were born in it.
