someone that uses their mind and exercises their imagination often, and can be specialized. intellectuals need not be advanced in the english language or literature and they may come from any walk of life; scientists, for example, tend to have an extensive vocabulary in terms relevant to their own field, while novelists tend to have a wider vocabulary in non-scientific terms. vocabulary isn’t the determining factor of what makes an intellectual though; it is mostly a matter of their ability to think, create change, and form new ideas.

the western intellectuals find themselves in a desperate situation. in order to justify their existence within the limits of the straitjacket of their own design (such as political correctness and multiculturalism), they have to resort to insincerity, selective outrage, taking offence on the behalf of others, ignoring atrocities committed by privileged, oppressed people.

censorship and intimidation is the wet dream of the intellectuals. it is the only acceptable safety net when balancing on a tightrope in world of ever changing sensibilities and linguistic prohibitions, producing a spectacle of moral indignation in compet-tion for the attention of a fickle audience.

fear of ridicule is the constant companion of the politically correct intellectual in his battle against facts and observations by the uneducated.
