At least half of us are below average.

If we're talking about IQ, than no. An IQ between 85 and 115 is considered average. This entails 68% of the population. So, only 32% of people are not average and only 16% are below average.

It can't be that many.

It's not. I assure you there are far more outliers on the low end.

But I'm sure there are more people with 200+ IQ than with <0.

I endeavour to be as stupid as possible so more people can be above average.
