s.c.r.e.a.m intellectual

"Intellectuals" from certain social categories and vocations that don't deserve any political opinion or outsized political clout as individuals.

the s.c.r.e.a.m intellectual would be from the following categories or vocations: s (sports), c

( celebrity), r (revolutionary), e (entertainment and art), a ("academia", specifically social science), m ( media).

A s.c.r.e.a.m intellectual like Travis Kelce or Taylor Swift or Oprah or Robert Deniro have too much political clout 🤔 in the modern world.

Scream intellectual

An 'intellectual' person that comes from the following social categories or vocations: sports, celebrity, revolutionary, entertaining, academic (social science only), media

I called them a scream intellectual because they seem to have outsized political clout compared to their political critical thinking skills and simply make a lot of political noise as a result. A scream intellectual would be someone like Robert DeNiro and Taylor Swift and Al Sharpton.

intellectual dissonance

The phenomenon of being opposed to a subject or topic like censorship, yet finding it intriguing and worthwhile to study. This term captures the conflict between personal beliefs and the intellectual curiosity that drives someone to explore contentious or challenging subjects.

Even though I have strong reservations about censorship, my intellectual dissonance compelled me to delve into its implications on freedom of expression.

Intellectual Masochist

Intellectual masochist: is someone who seeks out mentally painful or exhausting scenarios - complex problems with no good solutions, philosophical paradoxes, depressing truths, cognitive dissonance - and engages with them voluntarily and even finds some satisfaction in the struggle itself. Like, most people avoid thinking about "will the AI revolution lead to my genocide faster or slower" because it's fucking depressing and paralyzing.

An intellectual masochist goes "hmm, let me really dig into this, map out all the scenarios, test the AI systems, have the hard conversations" - not because it feels good, but because wrestling with hard truths is preferable to comfortable ignorance.

Sentence: As an intellectual masochist, she found herself compulsively drawn to the bleakest climate change models, preferring the grim satisfaction of understanding the full scope of the catastrophe to the uneasy comfort of willful ignorance.
