Is there any fate worse than to be a midwit? Being in the 110-125IQ range is truly the worst fate mankind has to offer to a human. You're smart enough to not be a drooling retard like most normies, but you're not smart enough to figure out things in life. When pursuing philosophy you're smart enough to read the right persons, but you're not smart enough to truly get what they were talking about beyond the usual interpretations, so you miss 90% of the point of their works. When reading literature you're smart enough to have a decent taste and seek the classics, but you're not smart enough to truly get on a subconcious level why such and such author is great. When writing literature you're smart enough to know that your writing is shit, that it lacks rhythm, word choice, poetic sensibility, etc, but you're not smart enough to be able to overcome your limitations. You're smart enough to be a fraud.

joe rogan is cool tho. i mean, yeah his opinions should be completely disregarded, but he's a total bro

Wow, good thing I'm 127
With an IQ of 120, you may vey well read and understand all philosophers, given the proper training. An IQ of 120 doesn't mean you cannot do it, but it will take you longer than somebody with 140. Plus, intelligence is not wisdom.
Make more songs, Book Club Guy
Just start over with 1% well keep the 130iq smooth brains as janitors and trained monkeys
IQ doesn't mean jack shit fuck off with your Egypticism.
Wouldn't know desu, I'm 130 IQ masterrace. Clever enough to have everybody describe you as the cleverest guy they know, but also clever enough to know that you possess no real intellectual flair and never will.
High IQ is reading a philosopher and coming to your own conclusions
i'm a midwit and proud desu
real intellectuals seem like miserable people who think they're destined for something greater. i met many 140+ burnouts when I was placed in a gifted education program (took the RAVEN and another test at age 9 for giftedness identification, which was extremely inaccurate with my adult IQ due to heritability of IQ increasing dramatically with age) and a good chunk of them are NEETs, college drop-outs, and a couple lads in academia who want to blow their brains out.
yeah, I'll take my afternoon beer and the good ol' telly/vidya with the boys, my loving midwit gf, along with my nightly, slow-paced reading, thank you very much.

Comparing Chomsky with those people is ridiculously dumb.
Just check them out you nigger.
I pity the midwits, and i laugh at the retards. What's sad is that they could almost be like you, but not quite there.
based midwit. Midwits are only miserable from an intellectual standpoint. In reality they should have they best capacity for happiness and success.
Gore Vidal is a deep cut. Do people even read him anymore?
this. wish i could shave 20 IQ points off and become a midwit, work ethic is more important than intelligence.
My iq is 112
why lindybeige :(
I feel you, fellow midwit. Life is hell when you can understand and appreciate intelligence, but are barred from experiencing it yourself forever, leaving you to rot at the fringes of intellectual society, merely observing and evying the greatness.
>took the RAVEN and another test at age 9 for giftedness identification, which was extremely inaccurate with my adult IQ due to heritability of IQ increasing dramatically with age
yeah, same here, fuck that shit. being raised well is a curse more than a blessing because it gives you a headstart in intelligence, deluding you into thinking you’re more than painfully mediocre, which makes the eventual realization that you’re but a pathetic midwit all the more soul-crushing.
might as well kill yourself desu. My 118 is already hell, I can’t image why one’d even live with 112.
Thank God I'm sub 85 and can chill
How do you stop being a midwit then
Honest question: if they're not intellectuals, then name me 3 intellectuals that are still alive whose reason you consider him for being an intellectual is not just "he writes beautifully".
hi Quentin
u know chomsky is a fraud if you are a student of linguistics.
When you’re smart enough to lurk on the right board, but your too fucking stupid to contribute anything
LMAO at all of you
based conformist
I thought midwit meant an idiot
>You're not smart enough to truly get on a subconscious level why such and such author is great
Brainlet 125-140 speak. Anyone with an IQ of 140+ would kill themselves at the thought of their subconscious understanding not being brought to the forefront of consciousness and obliterated from the background. I weep for the men born without the only gift worth having.
profoundly based
same with Zizek and Bloom
I was 133 less than 10 years ago.
Now after years of slaving away and wasting my time in cheap distractions and idle chat I feel less than I was and I don't even dare to take the test again.
I often wonder if I ever will find my younger self again, that easiniess to convey myself to the world.
The creator of this chart has all these right wing and liberal literal retards like Gavin, PJW, and h3h3 and he was like hmm i don't want this to be overtly political so I better add some leftists and the best he could come up with is Zizek and Chomsky who have both published dozens of books and been cited hundreds of times each lol the absolute state of non-leftists man
based retard.
135IQ is the true master race, because it's basically the same, but you get glimpses of real brilliance once a month.
Jordan Peterson
well it is the easier way to discredit someone without really saying anything
simply associate them with youtubers and comedian
it's propaganda 101
You're thinking of dimwit or halfwit
bruh if you put Zizek on here I'm certain you have never read any of his serious books or listened to any of his serious lectures. He's not a midwit, he's a legitimate academic figure.
Truly a midwit for not understanding that that's the bloody joke
Thats dimwit, dimwit.
are you trying to say they just randomly threw his image in there with all the frauds as a joke, like haha laugh at this irony? I don't buy that. Whoever put Zizek in that image was trying to compare him to the other people in the image... that's extremely obvious.
Yes, along with a few other genuine intellectuals (e.g. Peter Hitchens) too. These people have received popular acclaim as well as intellectual success, so whoever created the image was just lazily insulting them by suggesting that, by virtue of their popularity, they deserved to be categorised alongside all of these YouTube personalities and low-IQ thinkers.
Only a midwit would fail to understand that desu

OP, take it from somebody that’s been tested to have an IQ of 158 and has spent a good portion of life studying philosophy, reading books and understanding them isn’t all there is to life, but you probably already know that. It seems like you set high expectations of what you want to get from books. Truth is, there’s not much these philosophers are saying and your interpretation is probably sufficient.
rude
I agree as a 140 IQ individual. Heh... fucking midwits
Describe one original, truly " brilliant" thought you've had in your life.
>work ethic is more important than intelligence.
you're obviously not as smart as you think, cuckbrain
How do you guys even know your IQ? Don't tell me you're using the tests online as they are extremely inaccurate
118 and 112 are practically the same.
intelligent but lazy person who has a few good ideas but is too crippled by mental issues to further work on them
vs average iq person who has average ideas but has the dedication and work ethic to further expand on them and create something worthwhile
Mhmm so much for work ethic, retard
High IQ is reading a philosopher and then just btfoing everything they say.
How do you not know Nick Fuentes or Kantbot?

hello icycalm
Doctors actually told me that my IQ was too big for “numerical representation”. I wish I could say that it doesn’t effect my world but it’s pretty hard living up to that many brain points. Tbh I consider anything from 110 - 140 to be lucky cuz I’m going to gonna halve to go to the doctor again soon so they can drill wholes in my brain to let some of the pressure out. It’s not the same thing as cranial expansion surgery(tho I might halve to get that soon to because my brain keeping getting so much more enormous) The only other person I know whose had to get this surgery is Sargon if Akkad. Apparently he was some ancient war general or something who hated feminists. Anyways
Ugghh my head hurts! Consider your self lucky bro
Kantbot makes me laugh though.
Me was
too smart make brain hurty....... Me use
big rock and hit head till big iq go down...... me like
being unsmarter lik you....... me midwit
jus like you now..... me once
big head now head inside head smaller than before...... me realise
now that taxation is theft.....
>me face when before the after rock hit brain. me face when still bigger brained than you even.....

Destiny isn't a midwit
Why has mid wit suddenly become a popular term for threads and Yea Forums discussion in general? Did something outside of Yea Forums popularize it or was it internal?
Discipline is an aspect of intelligence, but not of iq. Iq is not indicative of intelligence as a whole, just the pattern finding aspect of it.
I don't know man, the people I know with the strongest work ethic are people you would probably consider below average intelligence. Then again intelligence is subjective, a chemical engineer or whatever can't pull apart a dozer in their sleep whereas an experienced heavy diesel mechanic doesn't know how to do whatever the engineer does.

varg is fine but linux varg deserve a spot
Yeah I like Rogan too. I like his approach of just admitting he doesn't know much and isn't smart and how he lets people talk at length about their theories, even if many of those people are also kind of memes. It's just a refreshing change of atmosphere from all the ego and posturing and conflict that usually accompany public discussion.
intelligence isn’t the same knowledge, moron. cognitive ability can be objectively measured.

zizek and chomsky are by, definition of their jobs, not pseudo-intellectual. harris is but you shouldn't ignore him because of his public significance
otherwise, absolutely based pic
>harris is but you shouldn't ignore him because of his public significance
also hitchens for this same reason, and dawkins for his work in evobio
I would rather you have not posted an image and just kept it an in-joke. It was much sweeter that way, I know, for I laughed.

Not even endorsing any of their ideas, but it seems very hard to believe zizek and chomsky are midwits even if some of chomsky's ideas are very mid-wit friendly
Middle is reporter for bbc called mehdi hassan. Also hard to believe is a midwit, although very possible
it's too complex for you, sorry. need to have 133-ish IQ to grasp it.
I never understood Yea Forums's obsession with IQ. It's obviously related to intelligence, but it is not the same, and the IQ=predestination meme is outright retarded.
Also, how the fuck is this lit related??
sam seder
Right. Online IQ tests are lies designed to flatter you and sell you shit, just like Mensa. An actual IQ test involves going to a university and having experts run you through a barrage of questions and puzzles for 4 hours, and costs a few hundred bucks.
There are three good people in this pic related
1) chomsky. He's the only socialist i will tolerate.
2) the guy on the right next to the washing machine
3) Thomas Sowell
Alex Jones and Anita Sarkeesian are both based.
Based Quentin, make a 10h version of the john green song please
Chomsky 100% deserves to be on that list, Zizek not so much
>pat buchanan
Pat is the only one who honestly assess foreign affairs. Everyone else is a midwit or Jewish liar. Pat is 130+ IQ and doesn't give a fuck.
It's the only thing 'gifted' underachievers have to validate their existence, as they watch midwits move on to bigger and better things, whilst they sit in their bedrooms and try and make people feel worse about themselves.
It's similar to the height meme on Yea Forums, the difference being that height at least increases the chances of sex (and possibly even worse, the respect of other men). I cannot think of a single benefit having a 130+ IQ has, other than providing the odd novel interpretation of 2000 year old texts.
Uncle Ted
>and the IQ=predestination meme is outright retarded.
except it’s not. it defines your cognitive ability more accurately than anything else, basically all intelligence research supports that. sure, you may say, intelligence isn’t all there is to life, but that isn’t the point.
why is fantano there?
this. even mensa’s IQ tests can’t be trusted, they’re super inflated towards higher scores.
The best lawyers are the gifted underachievers.

My IQ is 100. What should i do? Can i improve my intelligence somehow like reading books or am i too retarded to do anything in life?
I wonder if there has ever been a 105-IQ outstanding mathematician since the Renaissance.
Your point is valid, but you're forgetting one important thing: the value of an expert in a field is measured by comparison to all others experts in the same field. If you're a 105-IQ guy with a good work ethic but everyone else is 130 IQ with comparable or better work ethic in a field that relies a lot on mental computation it's unlikely you'll stand out. See also: go. Try learning go after 25 and becoming a professional at asian level without being at least 130 in pattern recognition IQ.
