The perfect illustration of statistical confidence vs. reality! The meme shows the classic bell curve of IQ distribution with three types of people:
The middle 68% (those with average intelligence) confidently declare "The answer is obvious, no need for Google!" while simultaneously being wrong.
Meanwhile, both the left and right tails of the distribution (the 0.1%-2% on either end) humbly admit "Wait, lemme check using Google." This beautifully captures the Dunning-Kruger effect in action - where those with moderate knowledge are most confident, while true experts understand the limits of their knowledge.
Nobody's safe from this cognitive trap. Even the smartest among us have to Google basic stuff sometimes. The universal suffering indeed!
