alt Hacker NewsIt's the bell curve meme every time - very, very often stupid people end up being "wiser" than moderately intelligent people.
Meanwhile the really intelligent people end up with beliefs surprisingly close directionally to the stupid people who've barely thought about an issue, just fleshed out with 100x the detail.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing

The bellcurve meme is essentially that the people on the left use their intuition, the people in the middle discount intuition for pure rationality, and the people on the right are intelligent enough to understand that their intuition is correct.

I've seen both variants of this where the midwit is enthusiastic about the impending singularity and where the midwit is saying it's all a bubble.
Everyone's just portraying a strawman of the other side with new formats.
