A lot of people feel the ways you do at one point or another in their lives, and that means you probably end up in their 90%.

No, it just means that he’s smart enough to notice.
If you meet people every day that can’t do simple math, yeah, that gets under your skin really fast… and then you start to notice other things, like their attitude towards life and problems, their lack of logical reasoning, etc. And then you realize that, yes, most people are stupid. You yourself are not very smart, but smart enough to notice.
My guess is, in most cases, people just lack good education. Sure, there are simpletones, but most people are not like that, they just never had proper education and guidance. And the problem seems to perpetuate. They don’t see anything wrong with the way they were raised, so they raise their children the same way. An oddball might break the cycle every now and then, but their number is far too low to make an impact, so they usually just move when they become of age.
