      I’m neither smart nor well educated, but the biggest mistake I made in my life was underestimating how widespread deep stupidity seems to be.

        George Carlin — ‘Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.’

          Funny part is that technically even that statement is wrong.

          This is true for the median intelligence, not the average.

          Although both numbers are probably very close it’s still funny to me.

      all you really need to do is say stuff with conviction that supports a groups politics and sound vaguely plausable/intelligent while you do it. they will then tout you as an infallible expert
