To get the average IQ of any community, divide the aggregate IQ by the number within the community – except for universities. To establish the functioning IQ of a modern university, take the number of students and divide that by the aggregate IQ. The outcome roughly resembles the IQ of a bedpost.

They entered university at the age of eighteen and are still there nearly half a century later. They’re not to be blamed for their limited viewpoint. But nor are they to be trusted when offering an opinion any anything outside the campus on which they work or the subject in which they specialise – which is especially true for something as complex and tortured as the Middle East.
