Submediocrities

Ace Spades wrote this today about the media.

Dumb people are always keen to assume that everyone around them is dumb, because then they can feel that their own Low IQs akshually put them in the top quintile.

Smart people assume that the average random population sample has about average intelligence and that the people they're competing with in higher level jobs are smart, because smart people tend to win those jobs.

But the media is made up of very, very dumb, beefwitted submediocrities, and they're always "writing down" to an audience they wrongly think is stupider than they are.
