Intellectual Dark Web

A collection of academics and interviewers who publish work (mostly in print, video, and podcasts) on a variety of subjects including politics, psychology, economics, evolution, physics, Islamic reformation, and comedy.
The group includes (from the political left to right) Bret Weinstein, Sam Harris, Eric Weinstein, Maajid Nawaz, Joe Rogan, Dave Rubin, Jordan Peterson, and Ben Shapiro, as well as others.
Most members of the group have been actively publishing work for years, sometimes decades, but the group came to prominence as a whole in the time after the election of Donald Trump.
Some believe the group belongs to the alt-right, but evidence for this claim is scarce because so many members fall into the traditional progressive category.
Man have you seen some of the hit pieces publish against the Intellectual Dark Web? They're getting hit hard this week.

Intellectually Lazy 

= Having no tolerance for mental pain/work to solve problems.
- having trouble solving a math problem? Give up and blame it on your teacher!
- have no idea how to think something through? Put it off and let someone else figure it out.
- having trouble understanding an argument of someone else? There's no need to understand them - they're wrong anyway!
- have an unsettled question that bothers you? Leave it unanswered. Your questions don't matter!
- not sure if the author of a news article is right? Just hope they know what they're doing and don't think about it!

These are examples on how to be intellectually lazy.

Don't be this way!
PHONE CHOICE
Jonathan: Do these people know where their phones are coming from?!
Zacarius: No. Either they do not care where the phones come from or they try not to think about it.
They must be intellectually lazy when choosing products.
Jonathan: It's very likely that they are, considering that the ones they use come from slave-wage factories with poor working conditions.
Zacarius: They should buy x-phones. They're evidently eco-friendly, made in good factories, a good investment for long-term use, and user-friendly.

intellectual stoner 

A dope smoker that claims to feel "calmer and smarter" while smoking dope.
My stoner wife and her blown out friend smoked too much pot and are now discussing pre-colonial commerce. They are quite the intellectual stoners.

internection

Abbreviation for Internet Connection. It's a term that has become considerably more commonly used, but has not yet been abbreviated. It is easier and quicker to say and can be understood easily, even by someone who has never heard it before.
I'm totally out of new porn, my internection's been down all week!

quasi- intellectual

A person who is sort of intelligent- literal word meaning.

Could be easily confused with pseudo- intellectual or intelligence, which is someone who acts like they know a lot when actually they know very little or nothing at all . Much like tree pipers definition for quasi intellectual. A pseudo intellectual could very likely be quasi intelligent.
Ex. brian is great at thinking deep and has some great ideas but he can't defend his arguements if people get into the details (facts, science, other logic, etc). Brian is a quasi- intellectual.

Interjections 

Show excitement, or emotion. They're generally set apart from a sentence by an exclamation point, or by a comma when the feeling's not as strong.
So when you're happy; "Hooray!"
Or sad, "Awww."
Or frightened, "Eeek!"

Or mad, "Rats!"
Or excited, "WOW!"
Or glad, "Hey!"

An interjections starts the sentence right!

The way that art major was carrying on about how I didn't know that peice was post impressionist, you would think they were a psuedo-intellectual.
