It’s like that old saying: imagine someone at the 50th percentile of intelligence. Now realize half the people in the (US/other country/world) are less intelligent than they are.
- fullstackchris 4y agoThat's ironic of itself: it's signposting the meaning of a very obvious fact / statistical reference (50th percentile)
- Ancalagon 4y agoHah yeah I suppose so
- avgcorrection 4y agoI don’t know how to “imagine someone at the 50th percentile of intelligence”. Is this some second-order joke about how 90% of people consider themselves above average intelligence, including (most likely) the person who is asked to imagine? (This percentage is completely made up.)
