A (not the) definition:
op definition
Midwit
Described by Vox Day as "individuals of above average intelligence, yet not too far from average".
Generally found in the 105-120 IQ range. These are the people who are considered "gifted" in primary school and perhaps "honors" in high school. In the same vein, they either think of themselves as "smart but lazy" or perform well in school yet do poorly/mediocre on standardized testing. May attend a low-tier university or none at all. Almost always very online, with strong opinions that lack nuance.

![[Image: MnuaJJB.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/MnuaJJB.jpg) Hey, I got lost down the turtle hole in the last couple days. I realized that not only I but the people I know near have the same questions. So, last night we got Cooter Browned and even a draw board was broke out. Exhausted from being around warriors of high intellect and common sense and one of them brought up space travel the corcksucker and derailed us over an hour. Long story short. Instant gratification is the problem. We are not from that reality.
Speaking of Space Travel, it looks like there's some "friction" between the two big providers.

Yeah, in today's "Sociology" if you Present as a Trans, Native American, University Professor of Astrophysics, you can't really be questioned on your Presentation Claims. They HAVE to be accepted as true.
STUFF is sure getting confusing.

Quote:A pro-family news outlet has been suspended by Twitter for stating a Biden administration official’s biological sex.
The article by writer Zachary Mettler stated that “Dr. Levine is a transgender woman, that is, a man who believes he is a woman.”
“Twitter contacted the Daily Citizen and notified the media outlet that it had suspended the organization’s account for ‘violating [its] rules against hateful conduct,’ and ‘promoted violence, threatened, or harassed’ Levine,”
Speaking the Truth...a revolutionary act.

In that case midwits are really halfwits.
That's certainly a logical observation.. and conclusion.

The Deep Truth In The Midwit Meme
By Briggs on August 20, 2020 • ( 30 Comments )
There is a meme that well describes the intellectual separation we see in many areas. I’m not sure of the name of this meme, but Beige Shiba called it the midwit meme, which is apt.
![[Image: midwitmeme.png?resize=829%2C431&ssl=1]](https://i0.wp.com/wmbriggs.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/midwitmeme.png?resize=829%2C431&ssl=1)
The far ends of the scale are united against the middle. It either takes no effort, or you are born with the inability, to be at the low end. It takes immense or unusual dedication, or you are born with the ability, to be at the top.
The middle extends part way to the bottom and the top, representing, for example, those with college degrees and professorships respectively. The middle never reaches either extreme. It is the home of theorists and people who say “ackchyually”. The “I f****** Science” crowd and bureaucrats live here, as does every propagandist and the majority of politicians.
Though we do not have to take “IQ” as a rigorous numerical description of ability, it is now customary to call these middle people midwits. It fits.
Roger Scruton in an interview made the meme come to life:
Quote:If you start thinking about politics in an intellectual way, you are likely to be on the left. Because that provides a systematic solution, an answer to the questions, puts it all in a system, and also gives you a rather dignified and self-congratulatory place in the system. But once you started thinking, if you think a bit harder and longer about it, you’ll move back to what you would have been had you never thought at all.
That’s my view as to what an intellectual conservative is. He’s someone who articulates the real reasons for not having reasons, [that is] just feeling and doing what’s right.
There are any number of acts that are so familiar we don’t think of the reasons for them, like knowing when to cross the street. We follow the traditions of our culture and, if pressed for an explanation for an act, we say what we did was because this is the way things are, because of commonsense.

Joe Biden thinks he’s witty.
But he’s only half right.

I am going with Witophile, they love their own smarts.
Witophobe would be someone scared of looking or seeming smart.
