  So has average intelligence fallen that much or has the distribution changed so much that the median and the average are quite different? Maybe our graph is now u shaped with a huge number at very low intelligence and equal a very high and not much middle ground? What is it about the internet and 24hour news that has collectively dumbed down the population?

    News cycles are breeding grounds for hate. In return, hate is breeding grounds for ignorance, which is closely linked to either cognitive decline or unintelligence

      Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering

  The difference is not huge, but that is the definition of median.

  Example: There are five kids in the class: Alicia (4’), Beth (4’), Charles (5’), Dan (7’) and Emma (3 miles). The average height of the class is 1060 feet. Are half of the kids taller/shorter than that? Nah. However, the median is Charles’ height, 5 feet. ~Half of the students are above that, and ~half of them are below. If it’s an even number of students, the median is between the two middle ones.

  Also, I’m slightly worried about Emma.

    Emma is just a young ancient norse wyrm. Honestly she’s kinda small for her age. You should see her dad he’s huge and has a really important job I hear. Something to do with a protected woodland or some such.
