To clarify here, I don’t feel like I’m significantly smarter than most people, but I feel like people have a hard time doing any sort of thinking about stuff. Especially when it comes to verifying “facts.”

Well, that’s the thing about average person. Half of them are below the average and other half is above.
It’s really dependent on how the curve of that average is defined. Linear? Bell curve? Logarithmic?
Edit: I’m gonna say most people are stupid. Either willfully or through no fault of their own. Good, objective education is one of the more difficult things to implement in society. There’s always people left out. There’s always people trying to twist it to their own agenda or narrative. There’s always people willing to flat make shit up and call it fact, either so they don’t have to change their own position or to influence others. Too many believe in or support intentionally wrong things and use that to “educate” people. It’s a real struggle to get the facts as correct as possible.
So yeah, I’m gonna vote that most people are stupid.
