IDIOT-MORON-IMBECILE: Why we should prefer the imbecile? In his latest book Less Than Nothing:Hegel and the Shadow of Dialectical Materialism, Slavoj Zizek distinguishes the: IDIOT-IQ of 0-25 : Absolute naivete. MORON- IQ of 51-75: Morons are those who simply rely on the Big Other. Morons are the opposite of idiots. EMBECILE- IQ of 26-50: There is a theory that becile in Roman is a stick that you need to walk with. So IMBECILE is the one without a stick to walk, and insofar as this stick that you need while walking or here talking thinking is the Big Other so it’s a very nice position (lacanian) you know there is no Big Other IM-BECILE no stick but you still know that you must somehow relate to it. In short, Idiot: political apathetics. Moron: collaborator. Imbecile: activist.
