I suspect that in the country of the stupid the moderately intelligent individual would be less successful and dominant than he might hope.

I suspect that in the country of the stupid the moderately intelligent individual would be less successful and dominant than he might hope.

I also wouldn't call 90-100 IQ 'stupid' or 140 IQ 'moderately intelligent'.
