I'll list some authors midwits tend to enjoy:

Evola
Guénon
Dostoevsky
Spengler
Hoppe
Solzhenitsyn

You will be able to understand them all pretty easily but reading them will delude you into thinking you're no longer a midwit.

I am telling you honestly and certainly there is no real way to cope with this.
If you read midwits it will only make you realize how miserable it really is and make you hate it even more.
If you read high IQ writers i.e. most of them they will just be talking down to you as they should or they will be extremely patronizing and sandbagging essentially.
Idiots don't write books. They write other things which you can find a lot of on the internet but I think you probably already know that won't help you much and might even make things worse because you might become jealous of them.
Mediocrity is the worst possible infliction one can have. There is no cure or even relief. You just suffer quietly, benign and invisible to society until you die forgotten forever. It's happened to billions and it will happen to you too.

lots of creative work requires deconstructing other works and finding out how they function. its a process that requires above average abstract thinking. it also requires the tendency to get bored easily, which makes you search for new things outside your purview, which is usually a tendency bundled with people who can understand things faster.

[Anonymous No.19543394]

>>19543365
>it also requires the tendency to get bored easily
Being bored easily does not necessarily indicate high intelligence. It could indicate a lack of depth/contemplation within oneself for example. It could indicate not being able to handle solitude and so on.
>lots of creative work requires deconstructing other works and finding out how they function
That doesn't require as high of an IQ as you think depending on the goal.
>its a process that requires above average abstract thinking.
It depends on the field or genre of artwork one is interested in. Speaking in generalities here is accomplishing nothing.
>understand things faster.

doing good creative work requires an above average IQ undoubtedly. I've been around the music scene my whole life and I can tell you, low IQ people progress so slowly or never get past a threshold in their crafts. The best among them just repeat already explored Forms. I agree being bored easily doesn't indicate high intelligence but it is often seen in those with high intelligence because of the logic I proposed, namely that understanding things faster makes you seek more as a consequence. I'm speaking here in the sense of progressing in a craft not as a general attitude.

>doing good creative work requires an above average IQ undoubtedly.
It depends on the field again. Speaking in generalities is simple-minded. Being simple-minded is not a consequence of IQ however. It could be due to arrogance/haughtiness or lack of contemplation for example. It could be due to many factors.
>I've been around the music scene my whole life and I can tell you, low IQ people progress so slowly or never get past a threshold in their crafts.
I am musically illiterate and cannot speak for that craft. Instead of speaking for all art, why not speak just for music? I'm not going to debate you then because I simply never cared to learn an instrument.

You are making a lot of assumptions.
Art is not always about innovating or "pushing the boundaries". More is not always good depending on one's goals. Perfecting preexisting traditions or working within its boundaries, if that's what personally inspires you, can likewise produce great art.

This is a thread about midwits made by a midwit full of midwits calling others midwits thinking they're somehow smarter than the people they're judging because they read books that are more difficult to understand than the one's they attribute to midwits, or in short:

Go outside and talk to a woman or play ball or talk to your neighbour you basement dwelling faggots.

If you're not completely retarded you should have realized by now that logical/abstract thinking that is measured in classical standardized IQ tests is not the only form of intelligence and only correlates to financial/academic succes later in life, not to overall succes in different areas of life nor to happiness. That's the reason you're spending your time on an anime literature board instead of building something worthwile or socialising with peers. Most of you degenerates even fail at the most basic human task of procreation, literally removing yourself from the gene pool while jerking off to IQ test results you received from a shrink in 7th grade because your parents thought might be autistic. Now you either accept the truth and fuck off or cope and seethe for he rest of your life, nobody will remember your name anyways and you wouldn't give a shit either once you're dead.

To OP: Stop whining you weak ass pussy. The most succesful people I've ever met were not the smartest ones but guys with a lot of discipline and social skills who had the balls to do shit and go for their dreams, so stop fucking around and go out there.

recommendations for your whiny ass:

I realize communication between us is impossible because you are not a human being. I would have more luck communicating with my cat. Zoomers have already speciated into something that is no longer human.
When I am on my deathbed or dying alone in a forest, I am going to be pondering questions pertaining to the nature of life, mortality, and so forth as I watch the birds with a sense of wistfulness. You, on the other hand, will endlessly produce shit memes in your mind like "why no gf, lol", "wish I had a higher IQ", "wanna do one last Fortnite dance", "Sneed", or whatever crap.
I find it difficult to believe you are even a sentient being. You are more akin to a deep learning bot trained on data sets full of memes. You are like a lobotomized Marquis de Sade. The fact is you cannot truly deeply feel because you're probably drugged up while endlessly cooming in-between your "deep" Discord chats that are full of insipid memes. Shallowness is your forte after all.
You barely get any solitary walks in nature or care to feel mesmerized by anything but stroking your own ego. You don't give a fuck about any deeper significance to any *this* because you are by default a nihilist and so forth. You think all theological texts are obsolete cause you're a crypro-physicalist.
Your obsession with IQ is no different than an autist's obsession with collecting shiny Pokemon cards.
Europe or America need to do something drastic to deal with the spiritual crisis with you dysgenic Zoomers. Something like becoming a Christian theocracy and whipping depraved memelord, edgelord punks like you in public while shouting verses from the Bible to wake you the fuck up. I say this as a non-Christian.
Before you say "dilate", oh wow so based, I recommend boiling some water and throwing it onto your face. I have nothing to further say, but I hope your high IQ can help deal with that suffering. High IQ can help deal with all hardships in the vicissitudes of life. You will sit of the right throne by King Pepe while mocking all normies onto the end of time.

It depends on context.
In this modernized, globalized shithole, yes most people think the same way.
However, if you're living alone in the woods and have to grow shit and sometimes hunt (unfortunately), being shorter has its advantages due to needing less calories.
Most things are a double-edged sword, you arrogant fucktard.
Being taller means you have to consume more resources. In this age it means more risk of empty calories or processed shit full of preservatives.
Being tall has advantage in other ways, but if you're not interested in procreating or wasting time with women, who cares especially in the age of guns? If a nignog jumps a short man on the subway, for example, he could just shoot him in self-defense.

I mean you were tested with the WAIS, SB or you just can't remember. I read about standard IQ test a lot in the past and I heard they get quite unrelieable when you go past the 140-145 range. This is the reason I don't really believe anybody who tells me they have a "160 IQ " and stuff like that. For example the mainstream standard test like the WAIS only measures up to exactly 160 and it's considered very unrelieable at that range.
