When you overhear so many babbling on their phones in English, you can only hope that the foreigners you can’t understand are plotting a takeover, but they’re likely babbling, too.
In a perfect Gaussian distribution the mean and the median are the same and 50% of the population falls below that point. Given that that point is a low value to begin with…
This would make for an excellent graduation speech … not quite as good as “If you wanna change the world, start off by making your bed!” by Adm. McRaven, but who’s judging …?
My favorite part of this equation is that you don’t have to be stupid to be an idiot, and as intelligent as a smart idiot may seem, he doesn’t realize he is an idiot. If there is a god, it has one lame-ass sense of humor.
You really don’t have to respect everyone else’s beliefs. You can respect the principle that everyone is allowed to hold and express their beliefs, but you should also respect the principle that beliefs can be wrong and harmful, and you’re allowed to oppose the implementation of those beliefs on the world outside the skull of the believer.
“The Marching Morons” is a science fiction story by American writer Cyril M. Kornbluth, originally published in Galaxy in April 1951.
The Marching Morons story follows John Barlow, who was put into suspended animation by a freak accident involving a dental drill and anesthesia. Barlow is revived hundreds of years in the future. The world seems mad to Barlow until he discovers the ‘Problem of Population’: due to a combination of intelligent people not having children and excessive breeding by less intelligent people and coupled with the development of more sophisticated machinery that makes it less important to possess intelligence in one’s working life, the world is full of morons, with the exception of an elite few who work slavishly to keep order. Barlow, who was a shrewd real estate con man in his day, has a solution to sell to the elite, in exchange for being made World Dictator.

Well, clearly, only an idiot would say something like that!
I often wonder how it is possible that I have clearly ended up in the Hell for Idiots, when I am clearly so superior.

When the average person is an idiot, half of us are even more stupid than that.
