To think about, consider, and reflect on a deep idea or concept in order to make sense of it and to integrate it into your understanding of the world

When you intellectually digest the ideas behind evolution, you will have a better understanding of how COVID can have repeated waves of infection in a human population.

Intellectual Sodomite

Someone who claims to be an intellectual and selectively revises any subject matter to conform with an argument that supports their identity. Essentially ass raping facts and selectively picking information to make non-existent points that support their confirmation bias and support their own idea that they are an intellectually deep thinker capable of resolving ideas no one else can.

Karen destroyed the conversation at philosophy club with her intellectual sodomy by claiming that Nietzsche must have been a eunuch because there is no historical evidence of him sharing any dick paintings with women. Intellectual Sodomite

Intellectual Compatibility

You knew I would have something to say about it right there didn't. That exact spot 😁 Now... I could make a jab and say "Well, maybe they're overestimating their intellectual capacity but I think that would be low hanging fruit. I think it's more interesting to say that the disparity is to great that I genuinely can't tell the difference between any of you.

Hym "You also have to consider (when talking about intellectual compatibility) the fact that half of the population doesn't believe in the I.Q. literature as a reliable metric for intellectual and refer to the fact that early I.Q. tests involved American history and pop-culture trivia while ingoring entirely the fact that THEY DON'T DO THAT NOW and it now consists in 3 sections (Word association, Logic, and Number sequencing). But I don't think number sequencing relates to general cognitive ability as it relates to a certain type of innate mathematical perception OR mathematical literacy (as it can be learned and once you know the equation that solves number sequence problems you can just solve the problems). Right? They're mostly proponents of multiple intelligences theory or rely on field expertise or education. But to use education as a metric for intelligence you have to presuppose that the people who have taken the course would have done better than the people who hadn't, had the latter people taken the course (Which you WOULD but only because my staggering brilliance would embarrass the professor and he would sabotage me out of spite). Expertise is meaningless if the conclusion drawn by way of your expertise is wrong. And multiple intelligences is just 'expertise' and 'education' and 'emotional intelligence (which isn't real)' and 'creativity' as, like, a plurality of ways in which a person can be considered 'intelligent.' So, there's that."

Intellectual Brazilian

"Intellectual Brazilian” (Dr Urie Bezuidenhout, 2023), this phrase is used in a debate between scholars or specialists where one of them takes a disingenuous stance, despite credible evidence presented in the discussion. The other person then rebukes them, piece by piece, for their indefensible and dogmatic position, almost like exacting death by a thousand cuts. The analogy to a Brazilian wax is that, just like a Brazilian is intended to make the person look good, it is preceded by a painful experience when successive wax strips are ripped off sensitive areas of the recipient's skin. Instead of admitting that they were wrong earlier, they have their argument painfully dismantled in small pieces by the person exacting the "Intellectual Brazilian." The primary aim of this phrase is to maintain a recipient with some dignity at the end, which is considerably better than receiving an intellectual death by a thousand cuts.

The author that doggedly dismissed evidence to the contrary, was given an Intellectual Brazilian over multiple days by an expert in a terse and almost-humiliating fashion.

Intellectual Masturbation

i.e. this is when one derives sexual pleasure contemplating an object or subject, and/or overthinking something outwith their expertise resulting in grandiosity from confirmation bias

intellectual historical innocence

This kind of innocence is when someone, generally of a younger age or uneducated, is not aware of jokes and references of historical events, and/or is surprised when they find out about it.

This can also be used to define someone that jokes about tragic historical events and/or support these "ideologies" without really knowing what they are about.

Intellectual idiot

A person that is educated and well read, but lacks any kind of common sense.
Thinks their opinions have more weight and better value than others ... Snobbish.

By F.A.P.M.

Karen went to college and has her degree in gender studies, but still does not know what two countries border the United States.
That's so funny, she must be an Intellectual idiot.
