The George Carlin quote: “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realise half of them are stupider than that.” in your experience, how true or false have you found this to be?

No good comedian would talk about standard deviations

I actually like to surround myself with people who make me feel stupid, so it feels like I always have to work my brain to catch up with them, and am improving myself to try and reach their level when I am around them.

There are always people out there smarter than you, no matter how smart you think you are. If you’re surrounding yourself with people who make you feel like the smartest person in the room, you are doing it wrong.

So unbelievably true.

That is false in my eyes

It’s objectively and factually true. If you take the average person, roughly half of all people would be smarter, and half would be dumber. That’s just math.
