"the number of stupid people is far higher than the number of smart people"....Im assuming you mean this for everywher on earth, because if you assume its different in Europe...hahah...no

Yeah, that was kinda the point. According to my thesis, stupid people are generally stupider in America, and since the number of stupid people outweigh the number of smart people, one might argue that America is stupider on a whole.

Not that that necessarily is a bad thing, as long as I'm also correct that smart people generally are smarter.

Obviously this has a lot to do with more varying levels of quality in public schools and a higher barrier of entry to post-secondary education in the US, as compared to Europe.
