Nobody is below average intelligence? We're all above it? Nobody is far below it?

Say you have 300 million people, lets say 96% are average, or smart enough to usually decide what in their best interest. Lets say 2% are extremely high intelligence, 2% extremely low intelligence.

That's 6 million very stupid people..... is 2% too low a figure? Too high a figure?



And how well economically are those people going to do? Will they be likely to make the best choices for their welfare?


None of which goes to the original point that if your cashing a check for an outrageous percentage your making a stupid choice... Stupid is as stupid does.
