There is no need.
The dimwit/ midwit/ topwit trichotomy is distorted by the fact that dimwit and midwit are typified positively and the midwit is typified negatively. The negative side of the dimwit is that of the drunkard slave to passion and instinct which he lets ruin him, violent failure animals who can't leave shops without buying all the tacky garbage because of a lack of conscious discernment. The fiction of the dimwit as one superior in taste, one who knows intuitively what they need and spurns the lesser outgrowths out of instinct, only holds true in a minority of cases. Most will not have any innate capacity to 'understand the arts' and while this would have been a case of 'good actually' a while ago mass media now means that the common man receives a product that is no longer joyful and virile in its vulgarity but rather a grim facsimile, a degenerate simulacrum of the youthful pleasures to be found in fast cars and violence, something now sinister and threatening. Meanwhile the topwit masks a negativity also; that of men out of touch with reality, those who suffer in their forsights, those defined by their faculties. Some would probably say that something like reading Rilke or whatever is still midwit unless you can combine it with the effective socialising of the fish in water dimwit but this is also a fiction. There is often an impossibility to synthesis.
And to be a midwit is the antithesis. Look at Wojak, a symbol of the positive midwit. Meditating on him I had this revelation. There is the insecurity, there is the overgrown consciousness and inhibited removal from that simple animal world, but it is not dressed in pretension, and it does not have to be. It is very possible to be a bad 'topwit', to be very smart and developed and whatever and still fail. And it is possible to be in that middle zone, 'smart enough to feel superior, not smart enough to be wise' and not succumb to this inflation. Indeed you cannot transcend. You are he who you are. You must rather channel this positive side, the adret rather than the ubac. Now, in this post, you are not secure but you are not arrogant. If you will compensate you will do so with hard work. Thus there is no real problem. In time you will come to look at that which is perhaps beyond you and accept it, grateful for that which you can make, that which you can do, that which you forsooth have made, and have done.

3.) See 1 until you have some perspective

study the nature of experienced reality, something no book will teach you. read sparingly, write frequently. become your own person. there is no bigger mistake than to think you will become intelligent through reading other people’s thoughts all the time. also, don’t fall for the IQ meme, there are plenty of people with a high pattern recognition score that produce nothing of value and have no deep understanding of anything
