I'm not about to half-ass something.

Yeah. I don't see the problem.

Writing a shitty essay is worse than writing no essay.
I just think it's funny because you said you wouldn't half-ass an essay when on a similar assignment you're relying on an Internet forum to write something for you.

In the time you've been complaining in this thread you could have written an entire essay on it.

If I wanted to "go far" (whatever that means), I'd obviously give a shit about education.

But I don't care.

And the majority of people are average. That's why it's called an average.
No. An average, or a mean, measures the central tendency of a group of numbers; this does not imply that most people are in the center, it implied that the mean of the sample is concentrated there. How "smart" varies greatly from person to person, there isn't a clearly definitive pattern. There are a lot of outliers, meaning that an average is pretty useless for guessing the intelligence of a random person plucked off of the street.
I'm using average as a synonym for usual. Usual=most common

Spoiler
If you look at a graph like this 68% of people have around average intelligence. That's a majority of people.
What's the population? All humans? Humans 18-24? Men 18-24? Americans 48-60? You literally have zero basis for assuming the intelligence of a community based on an unmarked bell-curve that has every possibility of being made for a different demographic.

You're assuming that everyone here also falls in a bell-curve pattern, and you know what they say when you assume: you make an "ass" out of "u" and "me".
Is there anyone here that you can honestly say has displayed that they are of above average intelligence.

Anyway, the notion that all men are created equal is a myth institutionally propagated in order to legitimize democracy and egalitarian thinking. All people are not the same, there will always be those who can rise above. Those who refuse to recognize this truth are simply terrified of a meritocratic society because they lack confidence.
You've completely missed the point of this thread and clearly did not read the OP.

To be fair I was only talking about the people in this forum.
You'd still be completely fucking wrong.

Yes you did.
Why are you being so hostile over something so little.

Is it because I called you average.
Because not only are you wrong, you immediately backpedal.
So you think the majority of people are below average or something?
How in the name of FUCK did you get that from my posts?

No, I think there are average and above average people. I'll leave it to you to amuse us all by figuring which category you're a part of.

HAHAHAHAHAHA LOOK AT HIM TRY TO TWIST THIS HOLY SHIT LOL

You asserted EVERYBODY is average. You're wrong. You back pedaled, then you tried to personally attack me, and now you're trying to use the word "average" in your favor by saying you meant you were talking about averages and that you didn't very clearly say "we are all average".

Just stop. This shitty thread needs to be locked.
Everybody here probably is average. The actual smart people wouldn't go on a forum like this.

"probably."

DAMN SON YOU'RE LOSING GROUND.

But, really. I think you're looking at it out of context in the wrong light. A lot of people here either have a decent head on them or they're known for doing something interesting. The real binding factor here, is, actually, that we're all outcasts in some form, and we've all got personal baggage.

I think a lot of people here could be much more than they are now if they didn't have their respective baggage in the way.
Maybe some are outcasts. For some Sep7 is just a form of social media like Facebook.

(we all are average).
Except we aren't, some people are just better or worse than others.
I'm talking about a large majority of people are average. There are some outliers.
Don't fall off back pedaling so hard.

"we are all average"

"I didn't mean everybody"

This is something that has greatly interested me and is one of the reason why I've decided to go into the medical field.

The Illusiory Superiorty Effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_superiority

Click on the link if you want to go more in depth. But in short, it states that an individual will reject that they are average (we all are average). And the individual will instead conclude that they are extremely above average and everyone else is below them, or rather, stupid.

However studies show that people who think this way actually have poor social skills and psychological maladjustment. As well as behaving more hostile and irritable to everyone. Which can all be link to anti-social behavior.

Just something to think about.

It is kind of pussy-ish to need to drink to be social.

Like, making up for your bad people skills with alcohol is pretty dumb and says something about your capacity to talk to people.
Since alcohol makes you incoherent I doubt there's anyone that uses it to talk to people. That's like getting high to try and understand calculus.
It's not even close. People get buzzed so they're more relaxed and can talk to people. That's a fact.
Then that person is an alcoholic.
So if some guy goes to a party every like two or three weeks and drinks some beer so he can relax and feel more comfortable, he's an alcoholic?
You said there are people that need to be buzzed in order to talk to people. Therefore that person would probably be buzzed most of the time. That person is an alcoholic.
