The midwit problem is that bell curve for moral courage is inverse to that of intelligence.
The dimwits are animals, they act without thinking because they can't. The (very few) truely smart people are willing to stand out and make sacrifices because they imagine out to the infinite future and realize their personal hardships are insignificant over this timeframe, AND have rationalized that living in fear is worse than anything that they are afraid of.
The midwits know just enough to be scared but not enough to make it over that hump to be willing to make the required sacrifices of themselves. <-- unfortunately I'm still here but my bag of fucks is quite rapidly emptying
