pseudo-intellectual

Someone who tries way too hard to be smart by presenting false facts that they got from the first result they Googled/YouTubed and bragging way too much about how smart they are. Many pseudo-intellectuals also use terms like "woke", "red-pilled", "sheep/sheeple", and "third-eye" and also think that doing LSD and Coke makes them a genius. Will often go against popular opinions/ideas (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) but will do so without any reason other than wanting to stand out. Looks down on everyone who isn't them or who doesn't fall for their bullshit. Very insecure. See: Conspiracy Theorist & Narcissist.
Guy #1: I'm wise beyond my years man, I'm only 18 and I know everything about religion, politics, business, and life.
Guy #2: *thinks "Wow, what a fucking douche-bag."* Uh, good for you I guess. Kinda odd to say you're wise beyond your years but okay.
Guy#1: Its true, by the end of this year I'll be a millionaire and I'll laugh at everyone wasting their time at bullshit jobs. I opened my third-eye and became red-pilled as fuck from doing acid so many times.
Guy #2 and Everyone else he says this bullshit to: Yeah....okay bud. *thinking "This guy's annoying Jesus Christ".*

The pseudo-intellectual is a strange breed, most people can recognize one a mile-away but some people fall for their bullshit because some are very charming.

The refusal to acknowledge the professional acumen of an ethnicity other than one's own, based on a stereotype and position that one's racial/ethnic background is superior.
Ex 1: The intellectual ethno-dismissiveness (IED Complex)of voters who discredit the validity of President Barack Obama's abilities in office, fueled the Tea-Party movement.

Ex 2: A minority expert in his or her field is questioned or double-checked on findings. Meanwhile, the response of someone who fits the challenger's idea of "the expert" may have little or no experience, but is respected and accepted with few questions.
