What it means

Bell Curve is the IQ distribution graph turned philosophical template: a normal curve with a crude, simple figure on the low end, an anxious, overthinking figure at the peak, and a serene, hooded figure on the high end. All three are given the same position, and the format's thesis is that the simpleton and the sage arrive at the same answer from opposite directions while the average thinker, armed with frameworks and caveats, talks themselves out of it. The template spread widely in the early 2020s as a vehicle for contrarian epistemology, letting creators argue that the blunt take was always right. Captions typically give the left and right identical short statements and the middle a sweating paragraph of exceptions.

When to use it

  • Arguing the simple take beats the overcomplicated one
  • Identical answers at both ends, panic in the middle
  • Contrarian epistemology on a statistics chart
