If everyone has above 250 IQ, average is above 250.

Also, fairly sure that the average IQ should always be 100
Edit: tho I may be wrong

Yes the average is always 100.

Currently I believe it’s like 88
Snoo8635 t1_iup87ex wrote
Nope. 100 as the average is an absolute.

Do we constantly change the standard? Because I’m not sure, and I’ve heard we haven’t been

Check an IQ bell curve. It's pretty clear what point it's trying to convey.

Intelligence and wisdom are two sides of the same coin, closely intertwined, but not quite the same.
Intelligence determines whether or not you *can* do something.
Wisdom is what tells you whether or not you *should*.

I'm pretty sure an IQ of 100 is defined as the mean. Therefore for everybody to have an IQ of 250, yet the subject is "only average" (implying IQ of 100, as opposed to incorrect definition of average) then... Does that mean there's an entire enclave of all the "dumb" people locked away from society at large just to keep the averages the same? Where my dystopia writers at?
