Remember 50% of the population is below average when you take the genetic defect bulge into account; a rule of thumb to get a clearer picture is that only about 30% of the population is capable of recognizing and understanding satire without being tutored.
The population can be divided into Epicureans and Stoics, as a rule about 80% are stoics because they feel safer with definite rule structures to make sense of the world and provide guidance, Epicureans prefer to "wing it" and trust in their own internal judgement to make choices and life decisions on the spur of the moment. They believe in the essential possibility of people through their own means being "good" in the world, so to speak.
Stoics are the boring fixed thinkers, Epicureans are the interesting ones like this:

Cats like me and you
Have got laws
That they adhere to
Laws outside the laws
As laid down
By those we don't subscribe to
The world is getting stranger
But we'll never lose heart
We can't just wait for the
Old guard to die
Before we can
Make a new start
Bring on the revolution
(keep the pressure on)
I want to die for something
Bring on the revolution
I want to die for something
Bring on the revolution
I want to die for something
Bring on the revolution
I don't want to die for nothing
For every freedom fighter
I want to hold on tighter
To the hope and will you gave
You were the brave
You were the brave
And one day
When I hear your children sing
Freedom will ring
Freedom!
When we watch the children play
Remember
How the privileged classes grew
And from this day
We set out
To undo what won't undo
Looking for the grand
In the minute
Every breath justifies
Every step that we take
To remove what the powers that be
Can't prove
And the children will
Understand why
Bring on the revolution
(keep the pressure on)
I want to die for something
Bring on the revolution
I want to die for something
Bring on the revolution
I don't want to die for nothing
Bring on the revolution
I want to die for something

It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche
