      Think of someone you know with an IQ of 100 and then take a moment to realize: half the world is dumber than THAT.

      Meanwhile, a lot of the less technically, physically, intellectually capable people I know seem to place value on “sucking up” to “their betters” in hopes that some of that success will rub off on them. “Their betters” are well aware of this game and often keep the hangers on around just because they’re occasionally useful and don’t cost them much, if anything.
