intellectual honesty

whatever it is, you aren't finding it here.
"Tonight in the news! Local gay man trapped in storm gets struck by lightning! What is God trying to tell us?
And later, our undercover reporters in the Middle East give us more details on the repressive, fundamentalist regimes and why we need to stop them!"
- Men in Hats, an aggressively mediocre early 2000s webcomic that at least had some good points on intellectual honesty

Intellectual Masturbation

The act of thinking, discussing, and/or philosophizing to no one’s spiritual, mental, or physical benefit, but purely for the sake of one’s own pleasure, intellectual self-satisfaction, and/or pride.

Note: Not all intellectual and philosophical discussion is intellectual masturbation, it only falls under the definition when it doesn’t benefit those in engaged in it, only harms due to wasted time and an artificial satisfaction in one’s self.
I remember when all I would do was engage in intellectual masturbation on Discord. I would use fancy words and blabber all day about philosophy, without actually applying it in any way whatsoever. I just derived pleasure from hearing myself speak about such abstract and complex subjects. What a fool I was.
