intellectual whore

An intellectual whore is someone who sells out their intellect to any subject, however unlikely, undeserving or unworthy, in the pursuit of personal gain / kudos / attention or basically just to show off.

My incredibly clever friend who used to write underground 'zines is now making millions marketing merchandise to the 'youth'. He is such an intellectual whore - he'll lay his brain down in anybody's bed if the price is right.

intenectual

Someone who uses computers a lot and thinks they're smart because of it.

He always uses Wikipedia to find his answers. He's a real intenectual.

Intellectual Dark Web

1. Cult of chronically conservative cyber cavemen croaking at the void, interminably.

2. Achingly boring pop cryptofascism for the anti-intellectual age.

3. The Bible Belt 4.0.

4. Judeo-Christian conservatism repackaged for braindead Boy Scouts.

The hilariously self-styled Intellectual Dark Web have a fan base of mouth-breathing trogs with an average IQ of about 70, almost all of whom reside in some form of fetid hole once recognisable as their parents' basement.

Intellectual

Intellectuals are those who:

- Enjoy art and literature nobody else cares about, and think they are superior to everyone else because of it
- Believe education should serve some undefined "higher purpose" than preparing people for the real world
- Claim that language is a beautiful art form rather than a means of communication
- Love to argue that capitalism is evil despite having no understanding of basic economics
- Dream of living anywhere but where they actually do live; usually a far less affluent society
- Believe that our own society is degrading or becoming a cultural wasteland, because people would rather watch TV than go see a play written in the 1600's
- Are the most fiery supporters of evolution, yet dislike people who pursue their evolutionary desires
- Convince themselves to hate parties and sports to cover up their lack of social/athletic ability
- Can't stand the idea of leaving their tiny bubble that is academia
- Believe that anyone who enjoys sports must be a mindless jock with the IQ of a gorilla
- Love to advertise how much they "think for themselves," yet somehow always agree with each other on everything

Not to be confused with the word "intelligent"

The philosophy ph.D takes great pride in being an intellectual.

Intellectual Masturbation

Talking about important subjects rationally and objectively and making perfect sense but not taking action towards helping the situations.

Examples of Intellectual Masturbation: Saying things like "If all the rich people in the world gave X % of their money, a lot of world problems would be solved." , or "The money that goes into American Idol could save millions of lives." without doing anything about the issues.
