To some extent yes, though portioning it with particular iq brackets limits the clarity of the point as nothing is so definitively limited, the midwit pretension iq range definitely does not start at 100 it starts before 90, there are many below average midwits. The most stupid are barely in possession of intellectual capability and have almost no capacity for rationality, therefore they are better identified as irrational animals, they act off of instinct. This instinct is of a biological nature, and therefore act in ways of interest to their biology and therefore of themselves to fulfil some purpose of life. The most intelligent rationally reach the same conclusions but through reason, they are able to lay aside limits of consensus to arrive at truth. Those in the middle are too confined by social convention and confused philosophical ideas, they know enough to distract from instinct but they lack enough knowledge or processing ability to apply it rationally, often seeking ever more hedonistic and pointless pleasure above all.
In a particular case: the primary drive of life is to succeed evolutionarily via reproductive success (as this is what propagated life, keeping it around, if it didn’t do this it wouldn’t exist); the most intelligent know this from study and application of theory; the least intelligent follow their instinct that tells them to do the same thing, they don’t need to understand what they must do to do it; the moderately intelligent have many received and confused ideas that they adopt instead of instinct in a low level of rationality whilst conforming to a social convention, they are still ruled by cognitive dissonance.

This image illustrates another case of the same thing. The intelligent man understands that plurality creates unstable societies and toleration of the dangerous is cowardly. The idiot instinctively knows that those different from him are a threat (This is again biological because ethnic competition is evolutionary competition, which acts between genetically differentiated groups at any scale but moreso when those groups show obvious differentiation such as behavioural or physical as with race). However, it is wrong to say that the intelligent man hates niggers, he just knows rationally not to allow plurality within a society, hate is emotional and not rational.

it would seem so, especially considering that according to aristotle "tolerance and apathy are the virtues of a dying society" and seeing as nihilism leads to an apathetic worldveiw I think we fucked
