WuWei:
Do you consider yourself an intellectual?
I subscribe to intellectualism over anti-intellectualism.
So the answer is yes.
Allan
Subscribing to intellectualism over anti-intellectualism does not make you an intellectual any more that subscribing to professional sports over armature sports makes you a professional sportsman.

WuWei:
“Subscribing” to Sports Illustrated doesn’t make you Tom Brady.
However it does make me better equipped to comment about his performace on the football field.
Allan
Nope … only better at sounding knowledgeable because you can parrot what you read.

Intellectualism is the devotion to intellectualism pursuits. It sure does not mean that I am an anti-intellectualist. Lol.

Nancy Pelosi as speaker of the House makes that argument quite well.

Intellectual? The word you are struggling for is “hear”, not ‘here’.
No, “intellectual pursuits”.
“A devotion to the exercise intellect or intellectual pursuits”.
If you’re going to pretend to be an intellectual it would be helpful to at least get the definition right and understand the words you are using.
