“Think about how stupid the average person is, and then realize that half of them are even stupider. That's scary.”

George Carlin

Simplified Meaning:

The quote talks about how not everyone is very smart, and in fact, half of the people are even less smart than average. Imagine you know 10 people, and you notice that 5 of them aren't very clever. Now think about this: of those 5, some are even less intelligent than the rest. This can be surprising and a bit worrying because it means many people may make poor decisions or lack understanding. To make good choices, it's important to question things and not just follow others blindly. By understanding this, you can be more mindful of your own actions and help guide others better.
