He spoke clearly in his Tractatus and some of his later work was pretty simple to understand. What exactly do you mean? give an example please.

The first half of it is worth reading, and follows pretty well. Obviously though midwits focused on the ending, especially since in their interpretation it meant they didn't have to really understand the rest of it.

The first half in the modern day is just a stylistically poor outline of sentential logic and extremely basic model theory (and the second half is a self-contradictory embarrassment).

The most continental of the analytic philosophers. His historical influence is immense, but in terms of clarity, originality, and strength of argument, he doesn't even measure up to the average of grinding postdoc analytics in the US, UK, or Scandinavia today.

I think this (ironically) increasingly popular bell curve idea of intellect is very dangerous because as we all know once you do a thing ironically over and over it starts to become an actual belief. I'm starting to see people dabbing on "midwits" while implying that illiterate inbred nednecks are actually identical to mega geniuses. I already know that someone will reply "yes" with a Chad avatar.
