📊 The Numbers
Across the entire global population, intelligence follows a normal distribution.
Which means roughly:
- 2% of people have an IQ above 130 🧠
- 9% of people have an IQ above 120 📈
In other words, over 90% of humanity falls below those thresholds.
This isn’t an insult. It’s just mathematics.
But statistics become truly interesting when applied to everyday life.
🏢 The Condominium Meeting Paradox
When residents gather for a condo meeting, probability suggests that at least a few people from that top 9% should be present.
And yet, something remarkable happens.
They appear to have collectively taken the evening off.
Perhaps they are:
- 📚 reading a book
- 🍷 enjoying a quiet evening
- 🧘 protecting their sanity
Meanwhile, the meeting room fills with extremely confident individuals ready to solve the building’s most complex problems.
🔧 The Rise of Instant Experts
Within minutes, the room produces specialists in:
- 🔧 plumbing engineering
- 💻 cybersecurity
- ⚖️ law and human rights
- 🏗️ structural engineering
- 🐕 service-dog behavioural science
Training required: none.
Confidence level: extraordinary.
💧 Breakthrough Leak Science
During the discussion, revolutionary engineering theories emerge:
- 💧 A leak on the first floor must obviously originate from the roof.
- 🧱 Water can apparently travel through multiple concrete floors out of pure determination.
Gravity, it seems, is optional in condominium physics.
🐕 The Service Dog Review Panel
The meeting may also feature an informal tribunal on service dogs.
Experts typically include:
- 🐶 Someone who owned a dog once in 1994
- 🪟 A resident who “has been watching the dog from their balcony”
Naturally, these observations are considered definitive scientific evidence.
💻 Cybersecurity Reasoning
Then comes the cybersecurity briefing:
“Yes, residents’ banking information may have been compromised…
but we were notified seven months later, which shows management was being very careful.”
Completely reassuring.
Nothing to worry about.
⚖️ The Condo Intelligence Principle
Statistically speaking, this situation is improbable.
Yet condominium governance seems governed by a very specific law of nature:
🧠 The Dunning–Kruger Condo Principle
The less someone understands a problem, the more passionately they insist they are the expert.
🪑 Meanwhile…
The few residents quietly applying logic sit in the back thinking:
“This meeting could have been an email.”
But democracy must be respected.
So the debate continues.
And statistics remain deeply puzzled. 📉
