intellectual headache

The feeling you get behind your eyeballs when you’ve absorbed too much new information in a single sitting, and all you can do is wait for your brain to process it

Snowflake intellectual

A person pretending to be an intellectual, usually a politician, who don't have the meats to stand up for their political point of view when it really matters, as in an intellectual argument.

A snowflake intellectual can often become angry, apoplectic and even verbally abusive when they feel threatened in an intellectual debate or when someone tries to challenge their point of view.
