>>17566532
the idea of the midwit is just a cope for autistic people

understanding of society has levels to it of course, but provide literally any example of something in society requires an iq of more than 120 to understand.

society is logical and based off basic ethics, this isnt some metaphysical fever dream only high iq people can truly understand

In terms of outcomes in your life (career, happiness etc). The influence of iq stops at around 110. Actually super high iq scorers often end up sabotaging their lives in the end and become miserable.

I got this from "the intelligence trap". It's a great book, especially if you're a midwit looking for cope

That's not at all how I perceive the midwit. Generally speaking he thinks himself part of an aristocracy and - although a member of that group and hardly ever deviating from their sentiments - has contempt for the behaviours of the bourgeoisie. Same goes for the modern working class and he romanticizes an underclass that he has no contact with.

Enjoying mainstream intellectualism is a good sign, upper end is being engaged with the feuilleton and whatnot, lower end an enchantment with pseudo-intellectuals like Richard Dawkins or Malcolm Gladwell. Generally speaking you will have an education that is largely the result of societal power dynamics. Incapable of creating your own worldview you will be at the mercy of what the establishment declares to be valid and the true midwit is completely unaware of that since he perceives himself as a particpant in that process rather than a consumer.

So is being midwit related to iq? If I had an iq of 140 and followed all of this would I be a midwit?

[Anonymous No.17569052]

It depends on your definition but education, IQ and temperament are relevant I'd say. You can be a high-IQ midwit, maybe most are. Einstein would be an example. Low IQ midwitsm is largely impossible considering comprehensional problems with the written word and whatnot.

Sometimes I want to do something and all I can think about is how I would have already done it, even years before I actually thought of it, if I were more intelligent. Like math problems. I can admire the sheer scale of everything and sometimes this is okay, but to see it without being able to touch it and to see others just nonchalantly dive into it reveals that it is superior to be more intelligence. In fact I believe that the universal use and reference of IQ as not only A, but THE quantifier for intelligence in discussions about intelligence allows for mental-semantic loopholes of inclusivity because it isn't absolute or complete in its measurement, like 'intelligence' is in regards to what it contains. If 'intelligence' means what it means, then there is no end to its benefit. If IQ stops having distinctive benefit, then it isn't a good measure of intelligence - but that's not to say that intelligence doesn't exist nor that it isn't an upwards scaling attribute, or that IQ scoring isn't relatively good at what it does.

Happiness in the average here is largely related to being properly categorized. If you exist as a high IQ individual among the 'lower ranks' you will feel underappreciated and surrounded by idiots. That has to lead to resentment towards society and the universe. +the reason why you failed to be recognized in the selection process(schooling) most like is neurosis to begin with..

There's no upper IQ level that protects you from that. The limitations of individual human intelligence are severe. The stone age Einstein was just better at picking berries or whatever.

I did an IQ test when I was 12 at middle school. My IQ was like 115 which was worse than most other students. But there were a questions which had nothing to do with IQ, like a list of things that have to do with each other. I didn't know glass was made out of sand because I hadn't played minecraft yet, so I got that question wrong.

midwit = unable to synthesize concepts in imagination and also too X/lazy to do it through cybernetic connection either
really iq should be the least of ur concerns. it's the X that is the problem if you are unironically getting filtered by pattern-recognition and WM capacity. you need to learn to stop processing things linearly through synchronization with the divine, then it all becomes trivial

These things are not penultimate in themselves but will greatly assist whatever endeavor you commit to. As a principle, commit to struggle and be wary of comfort, stagnance is death.
