A type of thinking that is defined by being completely unremarkable, totally average, i.e. 100 IQ. A person with midcurve thinking has bad outcomes because the person isn't smart enough to make the correct decision based on logic, nor dumb enough to just "follow their gut" which would usually produce a better outcome than whatever they choose. Midcurve thinking is done by midwits. Can be used as a verb or adjective.
"That guy refused to buy Solana under $10 because it had some issues in the past, and now it's worth $100. He really midcurved that decision!
