Talked about the midwit meme in earnest for 2h over coffee yesterday.

It’s the most important meme of the decade for me.

building • prev manifold.xyz, twilio.com

topics ranged:
- thinking is an anti pattern, if you have to think too much it’s a good indicator to do more instead.
- often you progress from left to right, and u do it by experiencing more not thinking more
- aging through the midwit meme: simpleton teens, midwit 20’s/30’s, enlightened 30’s/40’s.
- truths are simple and often abstract, available to left side thru naivety and low iq, available to the right side thru experience and wisdom. the midwit probably doesn’t believe in any form of truth, cause they can’t know anything.

and ya, as a recovering midwit very aware I’m midwitting the midwit meme

Great points. It is one of my favorite memes
