It's cope; "midwit" opinions are simply high-IQ + often incorrect, meanwhile the "based" opinions are just low-IQ and sometimes right. I don't think there's been any research on SD differences between people with conservative/rw and liberal/lw opinions though.

Obviously. It has to be. Imagine if you had to analytically justify all the instincts and "common sense" intuitions you utilize every waking moment to function in the world, instead of taking their utility for granted. Think about the sheer number of factors involved in every heuristic you intuitively apply, how they have to be weighed carefully for it to be generally useful in life, which makes them seem sub-optimal in many specific cases.

Dimwits don't reflect on what drives them at all. Midwits reflect only as far as current intellectual fashion calls for it, selectively dismissing the "irrational" behaviors their spiritual leaders single out and calling it "critical thinking". It takes a top wit to start unraveling the reasons behind human behavior, and a good degree of understanding to rid yourself of the hubris of wanting to interfere with it.

I've said it before...
That meme was always a psyop forced meme, created to legitimize and empower retards.
When retards are given a voice, misinformation and disinformation gets exponentially more believers and spreaders. When retards' voice is amplified, they become more popular because it's heard everywhere. When retardation becomes the norm, corruption thrives and civilizations fall to their knees. See the Roman empire.

I wouldn't say it's "true," but it touches on something valid.
There's a tendency for people who are fairly new to a field to get lost in the theory and overcomplicate things.

The "low IQ" guy in the meme is reacting intuitively to what he sees in front of his own eyes. The "high IQ" guy has the expertise to validate those intuitions. The "midwit" has sufficient knowledge to recognize the shortcomings of relying on intuition alone, but in his rigid adherence to a theoretical framework he doesn't fully understand he comes to conclusions that appear nonsensical to the beginner and misguided to the expert.

Most of the time, though, this meme format is just used as an excuse to justify one's own ignorance.

More than just an average (which tells you basically nothing) I am more interested in the distribution of IQ based on political belief, because something tells me it's not a normal distribution

Being political at all is low IQ anyway. You should always judge individual ideas, not whether team A or team B is correct. It's impossible for two most major, and therefore corrupt, political parties to be unironically supported by anybody intelligent.
>>
>>16974843
So essentially a Dunning-Kruger effect is your hypothesis?
Probably correct, as most people have some knowledge of most topics, yet almost none have actual expert knowledge (even if they believe to have it).
>>
>>16975434
>You should always judge individual ideas
Your current IQ cap is 115.

>not whether team A or team B is correct
Your current IQ cap is 100.

If at any point you're capable of seriously describing yourself as "democrat" or "republican" then you're just retarded.
If you voted one or another because you thought one political party (from the only choices you've been given) is more optimal, that's different.

A fact you can't make this simple distinction (hypothetical assumption) makes you incapable of further discussion.

This seems to imply that since there's no difference between judging an individual idea and actual practical application of it, we should not judge individual ideas ie. existence of political parties in modern representative democracies invalidate abstract political ideas due to their realistic uselessness.

Otherwise, what point is there to making that post beside a snarky remark? I fail to see the point otherwise.

And how is that relevant to the post at hand? Nobody talked about policy, nor is it relevant here?
Reminds me of the study: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41599-025-05195-y
Which shows that individuals high in psychopathy, narcissism and low cognitive ability are the most politically active online. So OP is right in saying that, "being political is low IQ", as that statement is closer to the truth than the opposite.

> and what difference does it make how you judge "individual ideas" when you don't get to make any decisions on that level of granularity and wouldn't be under any realistic system?
>why discuss abstract ideas or better poltiical systems when we can just vote democraft or republicoon bro
HAHAHA back to /pol/ retard.

Moreover, political parties are corrupt to the core, as stated (https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/perspectives-on-politics/article/abs/testing-theories-of-american-politics-elites-interest-groups-and-average-citizens/62327F513959D0A304D4893B382B992B).

>Dunning-Kruger
The Dunning-Kruger effect has already been deboonked, however.
If you're in the 25%, then it's unlikely that you will underestimate your ability and vice versa.

You can replicate the Dunning-Kruger effect with random data, btw.

"My colleague Ed Nuhfer and his team gave students a 25-question scientific literacy test. After answering each question, the students would rate their own performance on each question as either “nailed it,” “not sure” or “no idea.”

Working with Nuhfer, we found that unskilled students are pretty good at estimating their own competence. In this study of unskilled students who scored in the bottom quarter, only 16.5% significantly overestimated their abilities. And, it turns out, 3.9% significantly underestimated their score. That means nearly 80% of unskilled students were fairly good at estimating their real ability – a far cry from the idea put forth by Dunning and Kruger that the unskilled consistently overestimate their skills."

>but sometimes it really is that simple.

It's why the classic "is it plugged in?" is always the first question tech support asks. Everyone knows your device needs power to function. But it's always good to double check that your problem isn't a simple lapse in judgment before ripping your device apart trying to diagnose a more complex issue.

>>16973407
It can sort of be true in instances where a seemingly counterintuitive conclusion is actually correct. stopped clock and all, you know.

>>16976081

>>

>>16974053
What is the last one?
>>
>>16976371
If I'm interpreting it correctly, it's indicating that high IQ people tend to think a much larger portion of the population are high IQ, either because of who they surround themselves with, or because they assume that everyone else can think like them, and therefore overestimate the general population's intelligence.

>>
>>16976570
His reading comprehension is fine, I don't think you understand the point he was making (or what the meme is saying).
The whole point of the meme is that it's the midwit giving the unintuitive answer on a more "well-informed" theoretical basis. The left and right tails are explicitly providing the answer that most people would find "intuitive" which is why even the low IQ guy can understand it.

He's calling you a midwit for finding the midwit pseudery more intuitive than the obvious answer.

No because IQ is eugenicist rubbish. No formulation of IQ has been able to find the quanta of intelligence which can be rated, all they can rely on is giving tests which require mastery of certain concepts, like any other skill, to take and therefore can be learned. It does make for very convenient fantasies like this one, though:

>>16974064

This is just some off-topic screed about authority and sheeple. Of course they are definitely not a sheep despite repeating a formula that has been repeated by a million insufferable people like themselves. But they have an IQ so I'm sure they're the real free thinkers here.

Ok, now where does his post say they do? You're not even a midwit, you're outright a brown jeet.

Most people within 1 SD of the middle go to school and receive basic education regarding underlying theory. They see headlines of popsci news articles and veritasium-level youtube videos. So yes, people in the mid-range of intelligence are absolutely inundated with content along the lines of "ackchually, your common sense is wrong about [thing]."

Cletus the inbred potato farmer hears your fancy-schmancy math speak and says "that's retarded. Just look at the damn thing!"
Meanwhile the expert understands the limitations of the theory the midwit is applying (or at least the midwit's grasp of said theory) and says "you're missing the forest for the trees. Just look at the damn thing."

Well first off, there's no such thing as "empirical evidence" for a normative claim. That's just not how that works.
Apart from that, it is a truism in the sense that it's a banal cliche. Everyone who wants to sound smart has said something to the tune of "both sides are bad" before. It's such an oft-repeated mantra that it has become a manifestation of groupthink in its own right.

One of the two sides more closely corresponds to your values than the other. It is a statistical inevitability. Even if you think the parties are shit overall, the pragmatic thing to do is tentatively support the least bad one if it's something you claim to care about at all. Assignimg the best-fit label to yourself only means changing your opinions about any particular issue if you're retarded.

The "wise dimwit" may have existed historically but bnit anymore. In America dumb or poor people have terrible heuristics for determining how they should live their life. They're more likely to eat fast food, not exercise, watch TV or scroll on their phone all day, drink too much alcohol or do drugs, get involved with violent crime, get addicted to porn. You can tell these boards are filled with sheltered college kids because nobody has ever interacted with actual dumb people before. These people are not noble savages.

The point of the meme isn't that "dumb people are smart." Ofc the midwit is going to agree with the genius more often than the moron will.
The format is to point out specific cases where the convoluted answer the midwit would give ends up being less accurate than the simple answer an idiot could give. At least according to the poster.

Stopped reading because you're obviously a moron.

Yeah, almost like there are downsides to acting instinctively and not only advantages. You live under a system that has a poison for everyone. For the midwit that poison is """public intellectualism""". For a fuckwit, it's Coca Cola and Facebook.

He's either trolling you or he's an actual retard trying to impersonate a midwit but pulling out the talking point out of context.

Considering that you need some sense-data to use logic, if normative claims originate from logic, then normative claims require sense-data (i.e. they're empirically derived.)

Intelligence creates suffering, depression, anxiety, angst, and thinking you're smarter than others. It leads to worrying about a future you can't predict, cringing about a past you can't change, while missing out on a present you can't get back. No thank you. I prefer to be dumb.

What a dumb thing to believe. Hope you're happy.

Being a tard is awesome bro, you should try it some time. No worries, no cares, just joy. Not having the mental machinery to make misery is marvelous. Try a DIY lobotomy today.

Its more like:
>a true retard is simply to stupid to dogmatically believe something unquestingly.
>lower midwit: will believe some religous dogma or new age crap unquestingly.
>higher midwit: will believe scientism or some philosophy unquestioningly.
>Genius: its too fucking smart and curious to ridgedly believe one narrative.

liberals arent midwits they are 50-60 FSIQ and cant comprehend actual data they are usually the white night anti racists that dont want anything to do with racism at all basically theyll have a savior complex kiss nigger feet and shieet

I feel the exact opposite of this. I'm smart enough to know that everything is fucked, so I'm entirely focused of enjoying what I can now and not worrying about shit I can no longer fix, instead of getting caught up in that shit.
>>
>>16973407
Yes
>>
>>16991303

Not everything is fucked in the universe, there are still some pristine things which are not tainted. For example, you probably don't get fucked very often.

This is a reminder that there is an incredibly stupid person living in a gigantic mansion somewhere out there in the world right now, and you’re not. That’s just how the world works. There’s nothing you can do about it.
The sooner you realise this, the sooner you can see this Earth for what it is, a prison.

So everyone just reacting to comments and it has no path for conclusion. Now thats retarded or whatever you trendfags tend to sound like

Let me guess, the reason that this image is wholly dedicated to the right-wing isn't that the image-maker's politics are anti-right-wing, it's because individuals on the right-wing are the only ones who engage in this behavior. Am I right?

Kinda. It's Geniuses and midwits see things pretty simply and sometimes come to the same conclusion. Where the people in the upper middle, IE = 4Chan assume they are on some god tier level and have to explain things using big words and stuff. You rarely hear a quote from a genius that isn't simple unless they are talking about their field of expertise.
