intellectual origami

Like word salad but the words coming out of the person speaking actually sound intelligent and enable the speaker to come across as intellectual. Intellectual origami involves sounding intellectual for the sake of sounding intellectual. The speaker will use high profile and scientific sounding words. Think of origami like an intricately folded collection of sharp edges which look impressive, but have much less weight than you’d think.
Paul from Love Is Blind deployed his intellectual origami when speaking or answering any question that production asked him. It would sound impressive, but ultimately it was just a form of intellectual word salad.

Intellectual/spiritual crowd

A group of people that fuels each other. The intellectuals communicate through language the ideas and thoughts of the group, and teach, while the spiritual ones provide (or are) the fuel to the group that keep things going, get things and people heated up about bullshit. Usually they end up making a mushroom cloud of their environment as long as they're in.
The intellectual/spiritual crowd has been trying to take over and run people, places, and things.
