I am referring to average as in ability. Most authors are pretty average people, sure, the above average ones write war and peace etc. But most books these days are not from these extraordinary people.

There are new companies made every day, new books top the charts every week/month/year, same for music. People have decent conversations every day. Ordinary people sometimes do have to talk someone out of suicide.
