If the 'average' is, let's say '80', you could have a population that is actually like [40-60] and a small group of genuinely intelligent people, let's say, in the 120 range, who 'pull' that average up.
So even if the 'average' is set at 80 IQ, 9/10 of the people you encounter seem to be below that '80' threshold.
Because they are.
Now comes the conversation about 'why' those shells of a human seem to be just mindless sheep, easily moulded and propagandized to the point of absolutely compliance.
It's almost like the NPC meme fleshed that out a bit for us. Almost like there are a set number of us who aren't NPCs, but the vast majority of our interactions are with the NPCs.. ... it's a big planet, but a small world. It's quite amazing how in 2020, you can literally write a letter to Trump inviting him to your wedding, and get a nice reply saying he can't make it. You can text a billionaire on twitter/fb and actually get a reply (if you're articulate)..
No, that's completely wrong. IQ results are normalized into a normal distribution. In normal distributions, you can't have what you described, by construction.
