#Midwit

Midwits prefer liberalism. First it may be useful to define midwit. A midwit is somebody who falls within the 68% of people who fall between the IQ of 85 and 115

Those who fall inside of that range tend to be liberal. If you struggle to communicate  with liberals on this site it is likely because you are at least one but maybe 2 standard deviations above them on the IQ scale. 

We can also deduce that Those in the higher IQ ranges are going to be attracted to online debate. So for conservatives the average IQ on this site might be closer to 120-145 range and the average liberal on the site is probably in the 100-120 range. 

# How Midwits learn

The midwit learning strategy differs from how the high IQ individual learns. Their strategy is important for getting good grades in school but not conducive to real understanding. 

It's worth dipping into what is and is not conducive to evolution, which tells you why the midwit chooses his strategy for learning. As far as evolution is concerned the only important thing is what aids in survival. 

For the high IQ individual there better we know reality, the better we can survive. We are typically individualistic and more self reliant than midwits. The lower end of the bell curve it will be pointed out is also mostly conservative and though they are not in the debate realm it's worth briefly commenting on. Their system for thinking is also more conducive to reality. They just don't have the mental bandwidth to deal with competing goals such as fitting in with society's expectations. 

So that's the 2 different reasons both high Iaq and low IQ people end with the same conclusion. Low IQ people do not have the bandwidth to have competing goals such as meeting social expectations and high IQ people are so smart that fitting in doesn't matter. 

The midwit IQ strategy as you can probably already imagine is to comply with societal expectations. In school they will look to authority to tell them what to think and will have an easier time answering a question like "who won the civil war". The text book taught them it was the North so that's all that matters. The teacher told them the answer. 

The higher IQ individual will have a more complex answer. They'll say well the foreign powers that supported the North seemed to do better than the North who lost a lot of men. They may even answer that on the test and get a failing grade because teachers also tend to be midwits and the book is the authority figure they look up to. 

The lower iQ kid does not have the same filter on reality as the midwit. So his answer to who won the civil war might be "the people who didn't die" which again is closer to the truth than saying the expected answer. The high IQ kid will respond to the idiot "you know you are right" while the midwit will shake his head and think the low IQ kid is an idiot. Which is correct but he is unaware he also would benefit from being an idiot.

# the effects of midwits

So the midwit now that you know his strategy is just to parrot what he is told to believe by authorities. The dominate authorities in current society is the CNN anchor or the carefully curated experts who agree with their world view whose presence are more dominant than those with a dissenting opinion. 

This is why when you state a fact that is just common sense or a well established thing, the liberal will start crying "citation". They haven't been told by an authority what to think so they need you to present them with an authority that tells them how to think. Of course when you do present them with a citation they immediately start moving the goal posts if they know the fact leads to a different conclusion than what CNN or whatever authority they chose told them to believe. 

Elon Musk funny enough just retweeted a post of somebody other than me who has also noticed this fact about midwits. Here it is

"when it is said that progressives live in a carefully curated alternate reality, it's not hyperbole; it's actually what's happening. it's why there are like 10 or so subreddits that dominate the site. and it's not just reddit, reddit is part of the scheme that includes academia, mainstream news, "lifestyle" publications like The New Yorker or The Atlantic. once they're locked into that system, they are controlled, but if you ask or point it out, they'll swear, and truly believe, that you're the one who is detached from reality. how else could they get them to believe that mass immigration is a net positive while also denying the reality of housing shortages and wage stagnation? it's insidious."

# conclusion

Ultimately midwits are ruining society because corrupt people have taken over the reigns of institution. George Soros just bought over 200 radio stations, the media according to several studies has a pro establishment bias which is another name for liberal at the moment and every single media outlet outside of the news also seems to be created or curated by liberals. Liberalism is the main political ideology and so yes the midwits will lean that direction. The solution is institutional capture.  

The midwit will just parrot the dominant worldview so it's essential for conservatism to become that dominant world view. It's why most people 500 years ago were socially conservative. Conservatives ran the institutions whether that institution was church or academia.
