> It’s difficult to watch a screen without hearing some version of “most people are stupid”. This is deeply wrong: most people are very smart, but this is difficult for the well-educated, because most people are inarticulate. This is all just balderdash. Depending on how people define “stupid” or “very smart” it’s correct or incorrect. It doesn’t really convey anything meaningful. The thing about our society that most seem to not appreciate even though it’s axiomatically true and fairly obvious for most educated to see is that half the population are dumber than the average person. (Yes, technically the median, but you can’t say median person because the median person and those dumber don’t know what median means).
