I wonder whether the average person is really as retarded as they are made out to be by large corporations.

Obviously yes. Reddit could change the app icon to a swastika and hide the real icon behind a $50 paywall and people would still use the app because of convenience.

Musk stole all his ideas for Twitter from Trump, so there.

What? Redditors would pay MORE to change their icon to a swastika. Change the icon back, and charge $50 for a hate symbol and you got yourself a steady income, baby!

Remember a scary thing about average IQ: half of the people have IQ below that number, hence “average”.

That's not really how averages work, that's the median, but I get your point. In order for that to be average there have to be scores lower.

Median can also be called average. Average doesn't strictly mean mean
