And that's where the Republicans get their votes.

😢

I don't think we really truly appreciated George Carlin until now that he is gone. By the way, I might be related.

Mean not average... the curve is skewed to the stupid. consider how many babies stupid people have vs smart people. then consider the likelihood of the child's intelligence following the parents...

I love this because the sneering smugness of the quote pairs very nicely with the fact that it's actually trivially wrong in a way that should be obvious to anyone who knows how averages actually work.

Makes me think of a Bobbie Burns quote: "One af of the world thinks the other af daft"

And one third of those voted for Chump.

😂🤣👍amen

oh my gosh, that’s funny ;)

What an arrogant thing to say!

We call them Republicans

Scary fucking shit. Preach it Carlin. You were always ahead of us. So smart.

And, the one who's president is stupider than them.

Bell shaped curve stuff.

quote Albert Einstein: I believe the universe ans human stupidity are unlimited. Yet I doubt the universe would.

A person is smart. People, are dumb.

He should have used “median” rather than “average”. The message still hits, though.

👍

Am I above average or below average?

That's not true, the average doesn't split the population of a sample into two equal halves. The median does that.

💯

It is hard to fathom but true.

I miss George Carlin, I'm sure we all do

Oops truth is out. Can’t put that back in the box!!!!

And THEN there are the Repubs. 🤡🤡🤡

Carlin was Bloody Brilliant and the funniest comedian I ever saw

The Hippy Pippy Weatherman was ingenious!!! RIP! We miss you so much!!!💙💙💙💙💙

George had a way with words.

I miss George Carlin. He would have a lot to say about this mess!

"That's median, yah idiot!" "D'oh!"

He's missed.

There is a saying:"If wisdom were put up for sale in the marketplace, everyone would buy back their own."

Doing the math can be disillusioning at times.

That sounds like it could be a Yogi Berraism.

I hope mixing mean and median is here just a clever rage-bait :D

George was confusing the average with the median. But made a point.

😂😂😂😂😂

the sad thing about this great quote is that the average person doesn't understand it

Stealing this.

George was co-median after all.

I would go with a range of IQ, as there is certainly a degree of unknown in IQ, different kinds of intelligence not measured or over measured, also I would have to conclude that the majority is average

It ain't half.

I have never considered myself a genius but maga assholes sure make me feel like I am a genius.

Once again George Carlin nails it.

We’ve proved him right.

Can you say tRUMP...???

Even some with great careers, apparently

Yeah. Carlin was our Cassandra. TBH, I never knew this with any real certainty until I watched Kimmel's Question of the Day. Carlin's remark was irrefutable then. We are definitely a nation of dunderheads.

I really miss him…and his intelligent societal comments..! 👍🙏❤️⭐️🌻

Maga is dead, calling it.

My 12th grade English teacher taught us about fallacies and other principals of logic. He had quit his job as a newspaper reporter in Orange County CA, because he "wanted to tell the truth for a change." ALL kids should be taught Logic.

Pretty dark scenario. I’d like to think that the average is better than that. If not there would not be any hope for this planet. Let’s agree that those who do and can think find a way to pull the others along.

This explains so much.

That would be the median, not the average.

Miss this wise man every damn day! 😔💕

We throw tea into the sea. We shut down Interstate highways and run blockades on commerce. We block ports and rail yards. We cause good trouble.

We are currently witnessing his words in real time.

laziness, ignorance also struggling for the basics all more likely causes for American political nightmare

Truth. Rationality behind their thinking

💯😀💯😀💯😀

Sadly.

Michael Jordan and I have an average of 3 championship rings?!?

More like 75%!!

“These are the facts, and they are…undisputed”

Actually that should be median, not average. But that might be to difficult for the average person.
