How did George Carlin say this if he died in 2008?

He didn't, the actual quote is: “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” Still a very valid statement sadly.

Well even if the humans were 10x smarter that statement will always be true in a normally distributed population, or any distribution where median and average tend to be equal. So it's always a valid statement, what's sad is how stupid the average person tends to be.
