Better Understanding


A guy at work was wearing a shirt that read 'But I Just Can't Fix Stupid.' My first inclination was to dismiss it as irony. But then the realization rang terrible and true. This man wasn't stupid, he was average and irony would have been completely lost on him.

I have a tendency to overestimate average intelligence. So every time I find a reminder of what the average level is really like, I'm shocked. It can really depress a person. I don't mind average folks, but half the people are even dumber than that.
