Overheard on a very controversial blog (I disavow...disavow...disavow).
>>>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.
People staring at their iPhones while crossing the street can't even see the car traffic barreling toward them! But you got me there, had to look up "midwits" as a definition of intelligence. I am so glad I went to elementary school in So. Cal during the 1960's. Turned out the schools then were in the 90 percentile comparative to the national curve. A wise person will never say they are "wise" any more than an enlightened one would say "I am enlightened!"
