The median IQ is 100, meaning half of all people have IQs below 100. Many of them did not grow up in an environment that pushes lifelong learning. Lots of people do what they've been trained to do and nothing more, which is good! Our society needs people like that. But expecting people like that to think for themselves is a sure way to become needlessly frustrated.
edit: switched average to median.
- steffan 6y agoThe measure that describes what you state would be the median, which is defined as the point at which there are as many values above as below. Averages will skew with large outliers on either side. E.g. if Bezos and I are alone in a room together, the average person in that room has $95B dollars. (Granted, in an n=2 situation, the median isn't meaningful either)
