pseudo intelligensia

Members of the pseudo intelligensia are people who use, or misuse long words, and talk about complex subjects as if theyve put extensive thought and time into the area. People who think The Matrix is a profound philosophical statement.

People who talk a load of shit and think it is somehow profound.

pseudo intelligensia - "but how do you know that this isnt just a computer simulation, and really were just in the matrix...?"

intelligentsia

The intellectual elite, but the term only seems to apply in eastern european and some asian societies. People like Stalin and Pol Pot seemed to target this group for annhilation for no obvious (i.e. sane) reason.

Intelligentsia are the enemies of the people. Kill them all.

Argumentum Ad Intelligentiam

A logical fallacy where one dismisses an argument by attacking the opponent's intelligence, typically with variations of "you're stupid." The fallacy lies in treating IQ as a proxy for correctness, as if being less intelligent automatically makes someone wrong about a particular claim. "You're too dumb to understand" becomes a way of avoiding engagement, a preemptive dismissal that requires no evidence and addresses no substance. This fallacy is the lazy debater's favorite: rather than explain why a position is wrong, simply assert that only stupid people would hold it, thereby positioning oneself as intelligent without demonstrating any actual intelligence through reasoned argument.

Example: "He couldn't explain why her economic analysis was flawed, so he just called her stupid. Argumentum Ad Intelligentiam: when you can't win the argument, attack the arguer's IQ."
