Belief is the crutch of the midwit—too insecure to admit ignorance, too dim to see clearly, and too arrogant to shut up. The low-IQ person may not be articulate, but they live in raw contact with reality: they know what hurts, what works, what’s real. They don’t waste time constructing narratives to protect fragile egos. On the other end, the truly intelligent see through belief entirely—they know that belief is what people cling to when they lack direct understanding. The midwit floats in a limbo of secondhand thought, parroting books, institutions, and authorities, desperately stitching together a worldview that sounds smart but means nothing. Belief is their armor—because deep down, they know they don’t know.

This is why midwits foam at the mouth when their beliefs are challenged. They confuse memorization for wisdom, consensus for reality, and doubt for danger. They preach facts like dogma and mistake complexity for depth. But they’ve never actually seen—they’ve only assembled. Their beliefs are defense mechanisms, not insights.

The low-IQ doesn’t pretend to know, and the high-IQ doesn’t need to pretend.
