    The ‘everyone is 12’ joke-theory is actually just essentially true.

    In the US, the average adult person in fact is no more literate or ‘numerate’ than a 12 year old, a 5th grader.

    The average person literally is a tween, in terms of higher thought capacity.

    Again… this is not a joke, it is just actually true.

    Apply George Carlin logic to this.

    50% of American adults are less mentally capable than 12 year olds.

      "Think about how stupid the average person can be.

      Half of the population is even dumber!"
