    I’m absolutely loving the irony of someone calling George Carlins comedy anti intellectual, using a math joke as evidence, and completely missing the joke. 🤯

    The joke isnt about people being perceptibly below average, or it’s not just about that, it’s a fucking math joke. That’s how averages work, not medians. In a scenario where the average IQ were 200, and half the world was 199.999, and the other half was 200.001, half the people would be dumber than average.

      It’s not though. But I like your take on it, except you butchered it lol

      Or can you substantiate that claim with broader context? I can’t remember the setup to the premise.

      I guess we could ask Carlinbot.

      In a scenario where the average IQ is 200? Do you understand what you’re talking about? You realize that the majority of people are exactly average, with a bit fuzziness, right? No? Then I guess Carlin is for you.

        I threw a number that you couldn’t argue was anything other than theoretical, but go off I guess haha. And I gave you a scenario where the decimal places could be argued are so inconsequential and could be considered exactly average, and yet you completely disregard the point because I guess it’s inconvenient to you lol.

        I’ll have to agree, that I guess since I can understand at least an elementary school level math joke and a play on words, Carlin is for me. And since it’s going right over your head, you may be more entertained by Cocomelon or something.
