It's still irrelevant but you have to be really dumb to agree to represent Trump as a lawyer..'

All the lawyer firms this time demanded upfront payments, that's why his super PAC funds are running low: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trumps-campaign-machine-is-bleeding-cash-legal-expenses-2023-09-29/

Go out and find a person of average intelligence. Then weep when you realize that most people are dumber than that.

Wouldn't that be median? If you found the average person it will still be pretty normal intelligence.

Are you sure it isn't the mode? All mathematical joking aside. The median would likely be much more representative of most people. The average is easily skewed by outliers.

Even if most intelligence measures / tests weren't horribly flawed. Most people cluster closer to the bottom than the upper bound. But every gifted outlier pulls the average higher and higher above most people. Hence the average being above most people.

  • just adding this in for a point of reference. But it is a paraphrasing/reference to a George Carlin skit.

"imagine how stupid the average person is then realize half of all people are stupider than that."
