>>14381107Give a bunch of people an IQ test. Normalize the scores as normal, so that the average is 100 by definition. Take all the low scorers and put them in one room. Take all the high scorers and put them in a different room. Calculate average score in each room. Oy vey, the average IQ in each room is different, how can this be? IQ is a scam! Okay, now imagine the two rooms are two countries, and it just so happens that the Smartenburg has a population 10 times smaller than Tardistan. If you calculate the average IQ of the world by averaging the average IQs of the countries, you will get a number obviously much lower than 100. Why would you do such a thing? Well, because as you've pointed out yourself, the kind of average you're asking about is 100 by default, and thus meaningless, while the kind of average I've just described tells you something: it tells you the population of the world is heavier on the retard side of the scale.
