Think about how dumb the average person is.

Now realize that 95% of people are within two standard deviations of them.

Well, that certainly puts the TC in a tough spot.

Math is hard.

Depends on which definition of "average" you're using. If you mean "median", then by definition the topic title is correct. And even if you mean "mean", with a sample size as large as the entire human population it's still going to be pretty much true. And that's before we get into the question of whether intelligence is objectively measurable at all.

That's what most people mean when the say it. I always hated that about maths definitions. Like I'm sure the world average has been around longer than the concept in math. Could be wrong though.

It's been awhile though what's the word for what people mean when they say average? Mean or median?

I only ever hated when people called it maths like they dont understand how plurality works.

so it isn't about what is the actual average but what you make up in your head about how dumb you "think" the average person is?

That statement is mathematically sound. My feelings on a particular persons intelligence are irrelevant.
