Get the Intellectual mug.A collection of academics and interviewers who publish work (mostly in print, video, and podcasts) on a variety of subjects including politics, psychology, economics, evolution, physics, Islamic reformation, and comedy.
The group includes (from the political left to right) Bret Weinstein, Sam Harris, Eric Weinstein, Maajid Nawaz, Joe Rogan, Dave Rubin, Jordan Peterson, and Ben Shapiro, as well as others.
Most members of the group have been actively publishing work for years, sometimes decades, but the group came to prominence as a whole in the time after the election of Donald Trump.
Some believe the group belongs to the alt-right, but evidence for this claim is scarce because so many members fall into the traditional progressive category.

Jonathan: Do these people know where their phones are coming from?!
Zacarius: No. Either they do not care where the phones come from or they try not to think about it.
They must be intellectually lazy when choosing products.
Jonathan: It's very likely that they are, considering that the ones they use come from slave-wage factories with poor working conditions.
Zacarius: They should buy x-phones. They're evidently eco-friendly, made in good factories, a good investment for long-term use, and user-friendly.

Get the quasi- intellectual mug.A portmanteau of wit and intellectual. A wintellectual is a person who is in possession of both wit and intellect. It's a rare combination of human traits usually found in people who are either homosexuals; or heterosexuals who have experimented with homosexuality. They usually have a huge fan following on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter and are often quoted by dullards and lesser beings for the purpose of getting laid. Wintellectuals are immensely erudite and articulate and have so much gravitas about them that every time they fart, it causes their fanboys to fap furiously.
