Why is being lazy something anyone would need to cope with regardless of intellect? That I can spend my time how I wish and competitively engage others with it is all that matters.

Why would intellect be a highly emotionally driven thing to begin with? Why the fuck would a smart person care about cope? What even is your audience in your own mind, OP?

Unironically no. But that doesn't lend itself to any merit. In fact it's even more shameful because you were blessed with good genetics for intelligence and still managed to fuck it up

If you wanna sound classier just go with Socrates' "All I know is that I know nothing."

Though uh, this pisses people off and for Socrates ended with hemlock.

honestly I dont think so though maybe in some cases it does apply because you never know for sure, but midwits are midwits because they try so hard to get approval from people, people who are actually smart im willing to believe dont care about that usually so they rather just sit down chill and think about stuff and do things when they feel like it. Maybe genuine idiots use this as a cope but I feel like midwits would do everything in their power to consoom shit and always be doing stuff

This. A midwit is someone that says:
>"oh please, i couldve painted that"
>but you didnt

>"I dont get why philosophers are famous, I thought of that ages ago!"
>you didnt write a book

The midwit always thinks but never acts. Consooming is the laziest because it requires no effort.
(Thats not to say we have to work 24/7, we all need rest and consoom)
But taking action to be creative, to actually create unique things, is what separates the midwits from the actual intellectuals - not dependent on IQ*

*for the most part

I was hiking once and saw what looked like some wild celery, so I nibbled on it a bit. After awhile I caught up with a friend who was good at identifying plants, asked me if I spotted the hemlock growing a bit up the track.
Apparently it only takes a few grams to be lethal, fortunately it's much more poisonous in the steam and roots and I nibbled the leaves.
Would have been a kino way to die desu

If I am strong but never lift anything heavy, am I really strong afterall?

Im an amazing swimmer because I did it once, but I havent done it since, am I still an amazing swimmer?

Could the same reasoning be applied to intelligence? What good is being intelligent if you dont even use it?

Meh, people can interpret as laziness something that isn’t, when you have a high IQ everyone fucking expects you to do some world changing research and earn loads of money.

I’m just not interested.
I never went to college and I teach languages and math to kids. Most people talk about how it’s “such a waste of potential” but they just don’t get it. I live a simple life and I’m very happy with it.

Also, fuck modern academia that’s where the real midwits dwell.

Oh man, youre right. There is no metric, because it's subjective (so far). Playing videogames skillfully is the result of a NEET using their above average intelligence.

So can a midwit even be defined if this is the case? Because I feel like I know a few midwits.

Quoted By:

>>13396698
lower than average conscientiousness correlates with higher IQ, paired with disagreeableness it allows for people to think more creatively and be less affected by the expectations of society. In contrast, someone who is conscientious and agreeable is likely to be a very good worker and rule follower but they'll have zero creative spark or intellectual novelty. Sitting and watching anime and play video games for 8 hours a day is not what lower than average conscientiousness looks like though.

Or maybe he is not smart enough if he can't see a possible purpose and a possible outcome he will like
Not that those are always a possibility, though

halfwit implies that they're only able to use half of their mental faculties which makes for a good insult. Midwit implies that they're mental faculties are middling, in the middle or average. When did calling someone average count as a good insult?
