this is low iq cope. intelligence == iq. count it separately from learnedness if you want but iq is there, it's the largely unchanging capacity for intellectual power. send mr. 120 iq to as many courses as you want, you can't get a 120 car locomotive to pull 150 up a hill. this is the central insecurity of the midwit, he is not as smart, and he can never be as smart under all efforts, as somebody simply born into it. let into academia, the midwit is perpetually in terror that somebody with 30 iq points on him will put even a fraction of his efforts in and blow his efforts out of the water. the midwit, controlling academia, works it to his favour: he maximises the effort of unnecessary mindgames, making them complex enough to keep those stupider down and tedious enough to keep those higher from bothering. "equality" becomes the name of the game, to insist all people are intellectually equal (but only ones who've been educated, mind you). what a convenient truth for the lowest-iq of the educated class. > hurr durr chris langan was a dick this is personality. to call him a midwit for it exposes yourself. in translation, part of the charge is that he isn't playing the midwit game. a real midwit tends to be most obsequiously polite and academic, being passive agressive, but taking a royally fat dump on anything he can safely criticise. (hence why redditors never shut up about flat earthers)
