People who live in an intellectual bubble are the ones who do not know reality.
Professor Dutton actually claims it’s a real thing. He calls them “mid-wits”.
They have Above average IQs usually and are smart enough to sense group trends like the WOKE movement and join it to get positive benefits like peer group acceptance. But not intelligent enough to fully think through and foresee consequences to society. Like woke women not having children because they became feminists, trans, gays (leading to destruction of the family).
Dumb people can’t sense new trends or don’t care and very intelligent people focus on creating things, solving problems etc.
So mid-wits are not the brain surgeons or the janitors in a hospital. They would often be the ones running PR, the mid-managers the HR department, the marketing directors …and in fact that’s where we see the social activists, the worst leftists.
Disturbingly they also are often career politicians.
