People Aren’t Dumb, the World Is Hard

The word being hard does not justify the success of reality tv, tabloids, lotery, music that is forgotten the next year or smoking.

Who do you think has the most chance to buy a lotery ticket. Somebody with 130 or 90 IQ ?

It's arguably pretty poor design if the world is only livable for people in the top 2.5% of intelligence (>130 IQ)

High intelligence is nowhere closed to be the most important factor to be successful in our society, gene propagation wise. Or being happy. It's merely a tool.
