For those struggling to understand the US election results, I can only offer the following statistical observations:
- Roughly half of the world are of below-average intelligence.
- Roughly half of the world are of above-average gullibility.
- More than half of the world are on social media.
Sometimes these combine in unfortunate ways.
For those not familiar with the Lake Wobegon stories… Each monologue would end with, “That’s the news from Lake Wobegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.”
