Half of the people are below average.

I love that expression - it's a well-known Deming line in business.

I think it goes like this:

The average person isn't very smart, which means that half the people are stupider than that.

Perfect example of this is American Idol.

Probably better question to ask is why are people so delusional to the truth. He is confusing being stupid with ignorance.

However it still not explaining the root cause such as cultural conditioning and Ego. Just because you are ignorant on a subject or couple subjects doesn’t mean you are stupid in your being and potential and this is where the speakers Ego shines in. Also your environment could have programmed you to this mindset keeping you from tapping into your potential.

The guys video is drowning in Ego. You can tell in his tone of voice and how he expresses his words. He is one of these people he speaks about lol

its so that stupid people can feel better about their lives.

those I know who are successful, always admit how stupid they are, they admitted it early and hence invested in the workarounds, diff paths, loopholes which made them successful.

Yet the those acquaintances i know that assume (incorrectly) the most, spread the most gossip, are also the most behind when it comes to their professional, financial, personal lives as well as health.... are always boasting out loud how smart they are.... and that they know 'everything'.

Funny enough, this 'smart' person, amongst those who know him best always use him as the prime example of exactly what not to turn into in life.

such smart, poetic irony.

I think it goes like this:

The average person isn't very smart, which means that half the people are stupider than that.

I categorize people into two categories:

1. The ones that think they are smarter than they are.

2. The ones that are smarter than they think they are.

To answer your original question:

People don't know what they don't know.

If stupid people THINK they're smart, are they really THINKING at all?
