Look at the percentage of problem causers vs problem solvers in a 100-avgIQ group vs 85-avgIQ.
Imagine MOST of your population is problem causers, a tiny sliver is problem solvers, and no geniuses? A place like that would look like, well, like somalia or india.
Then imagine a place where most people are maintainers, and you have more midwits and problems solvers than problem causers? Well, that would look like America (30 years ago before we let in india and somalia)
HoeMath is absolutely correct. I addressed this very issue eleven years ago in Cuckservative. It’s interesting to see how some of the concepts, and even some of the terms, have now permeated the mainstream discourse. That’s encouraging for the state of discourse ten years from now, when for some reason that no one will be able to explain, no one believes in evolution anymore.
The fundamental challenge is that neither midwits nor maintainers are capable of seeing problems coming from down the road. Their perspective is always a limited one of the last 15-20 years. If something hasn’t caused a problem yet, that means it never will. The maintainers ignore everything but their day-to-day responsibilities and the midwits devote themselves to aggressively attacking every problem solver or genius who is concerned about the problems the midwits can’t yet perceive.
Here’s a genius-level future problem for you: explain why PZ isn’t being actively suppressed.
Think that one through if you want a sleepless night or two. Although it could be worse. If it gets featured by any of the major book reviews, or appears on The New York Times bestseller list, and I start getting requests for puff-piece interviews, Houston will definitely have a problem.
