Intellectuals
When did it become a fad to be an "intellectual thinker". Maybe I'm immature, maybe I can read through B.S. But the "Intellectual thinker" is probably less than 200 years old. I understand being literate and I understand the freedom to ponder, but that does not mean sitting around in coffee houses and 'thinking outside of the box' means you are smart. "I are smart because I ponder" but is what you ponder smart? 90% of the time I say 'not'- but I don't want to start a debate about the personal perspective of what is and is not worth pondering
