The problem with these list, is that it just looks like your listing everyone you know. You need to list some criteria and provide examples of actual intellectuals, otherwise you might as well be listing people from a phone book.
Form our own opinions?No thanx ;^)
>>7933066
He isn't on the list.
Cringe?
>>7933027
>Dawkins and Chomsky
>Produced work that had an impact on their fields
>Professors at World renowned institutions
>Not intellectuals
Waste of two spaces that could have included Stephen Fry and Stuart Lee.
>>7933047
What heroes? I hope you aren't talking about youtube celebs
>Chomsky
kek. That dude is basically a fucking encyclopedia of knowledge. If he's a pseud, then so is almost everyone else. The rest of the picture is correct.
>>7933089
this.
And remove Franku, even he doesn't take himself seriously. He does comedy.
>>7933068
IMO it would be the hottest thing in the world to watch Armoured Skeptic fuck her in her tight little pussy with his enormous atheist dick. Would pay tons of cash for that sex tape
>>7933074
Actual intellectuals are people who are published in academic journals and who don't speak on things outside of their field
Bernie Sanders still belongs in the pic you nigger
>>7933089
well i mean this list is b8 anyways, but if we're gonna point out the obvious
Zizek and Neil are both doctorates in their field of research, but i guess you can point out neil is a pseud cuz he talks about shit he doesnt know about (Muh library of alexandria).
thunderfoot, bill nye and sam harris aren't idiots either. if i remember correctly. Harris is a neuro scientist, thunderfoot is a university proff, and billy nye is an engineer.
so ye 10/10 b8
>>7933135
LMAO
A degree means you're an intellectual?
LMAO
>>7933150
yes
a doctorate does
>>7933135
>sam harris
>not a filthy pseud who hides behind faux-intellectual rhetoric constantly
LOL M8E-BO-B8E
>>7933135
Thunderf00t is a published chemist and a good half of his videos are about chemistry and physics, but his most popular ones are about politics and religion, areas in which he holds no credentials, so he belongs in the pic
>>7933113
So basically if someone has an opinion on something that they didn't spent 10 years studying they are automatically out?
>academic journal
>don't speak outside their field
i've had it up to here with your memeing
the likes of c.hitchens, chomsky aren't pseudo no matter how much you disagree with them .
the new atheists aren't pseudo either no matter how much they make us cringe. they are still intellectual although it becomes pseudo when they stray into areas they know nothing about.
>>7933155
>mudslime apologist detected
>>7933158
Pretty much. It means they're just some stupid activist
>>7933155
>not a filthy pseud who hides behind faux-intellectual rhetoric constantly
I don't like Harris either, but he isn't some idiot.
>>7933027
if you say rhetoric you're a gay cunt
>>7933175
oh sorry you're right shitposting on 4chan is really what makes you an intellectual, not a doctorate in your field, how silly of me
>>7933167
Then can you point to me to at least 1 example of an intellectual then?
>Michio Kaku
>a literal theoretical physicist
>a guy who went to Harvard for his bachelors and Berkeley for his PhD
>a pseudo intellectual
>>7933175
Great posting tripfaggot
>>7933174
The thread isn't about idiots, it is about pseudo-intellectual rhetoricians
>>7933192
>pseudo-intellectual rhetoricians
i actually though it over and now i agree with you fuck sam harris.
>>7933208
that is literally the most concise way to say that, not my fault if you can't into 8th grade vocab
>>7933185
Albert Einstein
>>7933187
You should hear him talk about anything outside of his field.
>>7933187
popscientist of the highest order
>>7933027
Some of those people use facts and logic in their arguments so if by "pseudo-intellectual" you mean "some of these people use facts and some don't but fuck both of those types of people" then yeah that chart works.
>>7933027
Michio Kaku is an intellectual
I think you forgot to add the vsauce and pbs idea channel guys
>>7933228
He talked a lot about socialism, and various other political topics.
Ah, I think you forgot to include Maddox. He's pretty much the original online pseudo-intellectual rhetorician
>>7933284
No one really cares about his political views except for biographers. 99% of people know him solely for his contributions to physics
>>7933187
He's a popscientist as fuck. Sure he can do the math and science, but he is considered a loon in his own field. I read Visions and he proposes the most batshit stuff for future technology. Force fields that use rapid carbon nanotube projections and other asinine things of that ilk.
>>7933174
His IQ, which is probably decently high, is irrelevant; he has no real accomplishments as a scientist and is largely ignored as a philosopher (except by 14 year old fedora atheists & his fellow gnu atheist pseudointellectuals).
>>7933027
why are youtube celebrities among literary critics
>>7933575
Because OP is a pseudo-intellectual rhetorician.
>>7933027
>brother nathanael
Kek
>>7933586
OP should include the Westboro Baptist Church as well
If you are going to include Zizek then you should absolutely include his good friend Judy Butler.
>>7933584
yeah, looks like a list produced by a really, really elitist armchair `intellectual` who spends a little bit too much time associating with teenagers on the internet
>>7933027
>Trump
He doesn't even try to sound intellectual. His vocabulary and ideas are on the same level as those of a random guy you'd meet on a street.
Personally, I think that unique, interesting and valuable ideas and perspectives can come from non-academic individuals and spaces, and that to stigmatize them as pseudo-intellectual ultimately does more harm than good.
>>7933027
>h3h3
>psudo intellectual.
He intentionally acts retarded and uses hyperbole.
In fact that's about true for 90% of this entire list. Its really just I-hate-youtubers-and-especially-ones-that-are-popular the jpg.
No need to get salty over people being successful where you're not.
And Dave Ruben is especially based. I don't agree with a lot of what he says, but the guy is a solid reviewer. He gets guests on and does nice long form conversational content. Idk how that's wrong.
>Ignoring
>anything
>on principle
Idiotic. An "intellectual" is open to reading or listening to anything. It's stupid to waste your time exclusively reading what you think doesn't have content, but there's value in listening to ANYTHING that's popular. It gives you a POV on what people find convincing regardless of merits.
>>7933563
>thread about psudo intellectual rhetoricians
>says you can't take someone seriously because some people "ignore him".
Wew lad that's some quality posting.
All of you faggots take your posting to /pol/ or elsewhere. Nothing here is /lit/
>>7933027
What insufferable garbage
t. pseud
>no bill hicks
Come on now
>>7933027
Add Ron Paul and David Friedman
>>7933635
>an "intellectual" is open to listening or reading anything
That is the problem with half of the smart people on this list, they are complete idealogues.
The list is fine. No one on there is worth reading compared to someone else.
>>7933702
Except for Chomsky, Zizek, Self or Bloom
>>7933070
keep on truckin brutha
Carl Sagan should be added to the pic.
>>7933027
I know this is a troll post but...
>Harold Bloom
>Noam Chomsky
on the same list as /pol/ vloggers? fucking absurd
Still befuddled why James Rolfe the Angry Video Game Nerd is in the pic
Richard Kyanka AKA Lowtax should be in the pic.
>>7933047
THAAAAAT'S IRONYYYYYYYYY!
This board is the worst for psuedo-intellectuals. Your thread proves that.
>>7933794
Also so should Moot, Mark Zuckerberg, Myspace Tom, Craig from Craigslist and Eric Bauman
>>7933027
What's the criteria to be on the list?
To exist and have an opinion?
Like half of these are watched probably for entertainment. Not to get some intellectual insights.
>>7933711
Yeah I guess. They are all more popular than they should be but w/e.
I'll make an updated version when I get home.
t. not OP
>>7933892
You'd be surprised.
>>7933135
thunderfoot is famous for videos exposing creationists. That's fucking child-tier debating. If I film myself shooting fish in a barrel for 40 hours are you going to call me an intellectual?
>Peter Hitchens
>Not an intellectual
>>7933911
>evolutionists actually think this
>William F Buckley Jr

Oh I remember her, she's pretty cool lol
>>7933951
He's a dipshit pseud
>>7933174
He literally is. Within the only field that he's qualified, neuroscience, he's written about 2 papers which, according to other neuroscientists, are terrible. He genuinely isn't an expert in anything.
>>7934207
He's an expert on Ben Stiller impersonation
I recognize like seven of these people. Is that good or bad?
>>7934313
Neither really, it just means you live under a cancer free rock.
OP If I don't fucking see Chris Hedges's bugass face on this the next time, you' betrayed me.
>>7934427
He has a Pulitzer tho tbf
>>7934427
Glenn Greenwald should be on the pic too
>>7933702
Quality is irrelevant when they have a following.
A complete hack is worth reading when he's not SEEN as a hack. Understanding cult statuses and the appeal that a person has -regardless of how warranted- is not something that should be actively avoided.
You can hardly discredit someone as an ideologue that doesn't listen to the other side when you yourself dennounce them.
>>7933953
This guy knew exactly who i was talking about
>>7934460
Pretty sure OP means "ignore" in the sense of "don't trust these people, they're idiots who have no idea what they're talking about". If this thread is a warning to anyone, it's to people who might become fans of them
You all just bit
>>7933027
Where is the list with intellectuals?
I hope you've added Pentti Linkola to it already
>>7933635
>He intentionally acts retarded and uses hyperbole.
This. It's meant to be comedy.
>>7933027
>Sam Harris
>Richard Dawkins
Have they ever been wrong about anything?
>>7935179
well, that's like, your opinion man
>>7935203
Well, for one they don't think God exists.
>>7933089
I kinda like Stewart Lee desu.
>>7933089
>Dawkins and Chomsky
>did some bullshit in human artsology at bullshit university
>Only known for work outside this background
If they aren't dilettantes who the fuck is
>>7933027
I think I actually know the guy on the top right with the under cut and square glasses.
>>7933027
>buckley but no Vidal
vitcory
There is something in here to trigger just about anyone.
>>7935332
I can't speak to Dawkins, but Chomsky really did change the field of linguistics and disproved commonly held theories of behaviorists. His work is still taught. But since most people don't follow linguistics and he hasn't done jackshit in the field since the 60s or 70s and is primarily known for his political stuff, you're probably right. Chomsky is far from a psued tho
OP has baited me in ways I thought impossible.
>>7933027
Don't forget En Arg Blatte
Posting the complete version
>>7935637
>trump an intellectual
>no hitchens
i guess that makes him a genuine intellectual rhetorician
>>7935661
Both Peter and Christopher Hitchens are there. Which Hitchens are you talking about?
>>7935637
>Still no giant /lit/ banner on that picture. >Disregarded immediately.
>>7935637

Lazy thinking, use your shitty trip forever
>>7935637
I like:
Mde,
Putin,
Ziz,
Hegel,
Lacan,
Trump,
Rest are cucks
>>7935206
0 for 1, anything else?
>>7933027
Add Lubos Motl to this list
>>7935344
Gore Vidal is a noted novelist at least
>>7935352
I'm not triggered, but including Chomsky, Zizek, Self and Bloom in the pic is kind of silly. I mean, I can kind of see where you'd get the idea to do that, but they're all extremely well-read and well-educated people who've made notable contributions to their fields
>>7935637
Who is the girl below the orthodox guy and beside John Oliver?
>>7936733
just crop the image down to that part and google reverse image search
>>7936705
>who've made notable contributions to their fields
>>7933027
Bloom is legit. The late in life canonizing is not what he will be remembered for.
>>7937298
They have
>Chomsky
Most influential linguist of all time. Major paradigm shifter and contributed an incomparable amount of work to the field
>Zizek
Probably the most prominent living figure in continental European philosophy
>Self
Very famous and highly-regarded British novelist
>Bloom
Developed influential theories of literary influence, and his early work on Romanticism is generally considered excellent
>>7937403
What kind of work do linguists even do? What is there to chew over?
>>7933894
>Except for Chomsky, Zizek, Self or Bloom
>Yeah I guess. They are all more popular than they should be but w/e.
>I'll make an updated version when I get home.
No. You're still not getting it. The fact that you included them on your list in the first place makes you, honest to God, fucking retarded. Don't make any more lists. You should not be making lists.
>>7933027
You went too far putting George Carlin up there pal

God damn it, I hate that fucking faggot.

You did. Posting this exchange on Tumblr as a perfect example of the patriarchy.
remember to ignore them
>>7939043
proof once again that animefags are retarded

Pretty wide group of people there.
chomsky is an intellectual
and doesn't engage in rhetoric

The pope could shit on you my friend.
You're just lucky ratzinger is gone.
