In the ever-evolving landscape of the business world, where ideas clash and innovation reigns supreme, an unexpected source of wisdom emerges: the Midwit Meme.

This internet sensation, based on the intelligence distribution bell curve, sheds light on the dynamics between geniuses, midwits, and, well, let’s call them the “straight shooters.”

Picture this: a bell curve, the holy grail of the Midwit Meme, divided into three distinct segments. On one end, we have the genius, represented by a wojak or a character embodying unparalleled brilliance. On the other end, the idiot, blissfully unaware and uncomplicated in their approach. And in the middle, the midwit, armed with mainstream opinions and a penchant for overthinking.

Now, let’s delve into the business world and apply the Midwit Meme lens. Here’s the secret sauce: the genius and the idiot share a common trait — they cut through the noise and get straight to the point. In the fast-paced realm of entrepreneurship, simplicity often triumphs over complexity.
