Just by guessing, what percent of people would you think are idiots?

Everyone. Even me. The planet is populated by idiots. Why else do we waste our time pursuing pieces of paper we call money, instead of doing what it takes to save our species in the long run through the use of science and conservation.
We have the brain power to solve out problems, yet we choose not to pursue solutions because it would not be profitable. Imagine, this planet is not worth preserving. It is more economically feasible to doom us to extinction.

There are very few absolute idiots in this world but many more relative idiots ie people who don't fit in to our perception of non idiots.Should we ever change our perspective to judge people superior to us,the number of idiots would reduce.So,to make a guess,I think every second person can be termed as an idiot,excluding ourselves.

More than half of the people I run into on a daily basis are complete idiots in my opinion. Most of which I only come in contact with for 6.23 seconds.
So to answer your question: around 60%. (Okay probably more than that.)

Well lets see. I can usually tell by the nickname and the picture they pick.
Therefore, for that reason, I have a question before me that tells me he is an"idiot"

98.999999999.
What? don't believe me? drive in New York, or better yet, count the number of items in someone's cart in the "ten or less" line at the supermarket.

Um, let me see, probably about 85-90% of the population. I'm not trying to be cynical, but . . .

No one. Some people, many, are mentally myopic.
