Gemini
John Locke must have hated a Gemini or two. In Chapter XI of An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, Locke examines the distinction between wit and judgement.

He views wit as “entertainment and pleasantry” that requires “no labor of thought to examine what truth or reason there is in” a given matter (Locke).
