Is there anything worse than being a midwit in terms of IQ? I'll never get to appreciate subjects of interests as fully as someone with high IQ. I'll be medicore. I can only outwork other midwits, never a high IQ with equal work ethic

Nobody who uses the term midwit has been intelligent or wise from my experience besides why do you want to be a genius, sure there are perks but once you see the unseen you will begin to realize things you are better off not knowing, like all the things that can harm you and the general direction that we are heading in.

Being very wise is almost just as good as being highly intelligent. You should never stop learning things and collecting info even though you're never gonna be einstein.

worry about that in post-doc and job search!

You can learn or ask people smarter than you to explain things to you
I got filtered by most philosophy books and just asked someone smarter than me to give me pointers to see the abstract of things and it helped me alot about said books i wanted to read
I still struggle here and there but getting a helping hand have me a solid footing to build on

Adding to this there's not even true satisfaction to "knowing", because for every question that is answered 10 more arise. When the postulates/findings quantum mechanics and Hamiltonian classical mechanics finally 'clicked' for me I realized that I and humanity in general is more retarded than I can possibly think. How do you study something that changes every time you observe it? How do you make sense of data that mocks you and gazes back? Think about what science really is, science is not a system for finding truth, it is a system for annihilating ignorance/falsehood. And human ignorance is in (literally) infinite supply.

Anyways random schizo rant but knowing is a shitty goal and not fun anyways, learning is what matters.

Oh yeah fuckin' I find it funny to remember first time I did one of those tests. Lower end of average still counts as average after someone pressed him to hear the results.

I mean, you can take how you want but the man didn't really set the bar himself.

I often feel like I'm insulting someone if I try to explain something or feel a little insulted if someone tries to explain thing to me
It's like you're either talking down to someone or feeling talked down to, dunno why it often feels laced with negativity

High iq no drive

Most funny people are kinda-smart, whereas geniuses are rarely amused. You could learn to embrace humor or silliness.

There are a shit-ton of geniuses in academia who will spend their whole life teaching little shitheads difficult mathematics 90% of them will never actually use. It's not all it's cracked up to be. Unless you're world-changingly smart, nobody's going to give you a dime for being 170+ IQ. If anything they'll wonder why Dr. Smartypants isn't already rich.
>>
>>82689298
if it makes you feel better IQ only starts mattering around 145, at top 1-2% you're smart enough to see what idiots people around you are and have that make your life harder while also being aware compared to >145 you're basically nothing
t. 135 IQ
