Truly intellectual people - what do they do, how do they live their life? Do they kill themselves? Pursue intellectual interests or try to live the trivial life and just aspire plain happiness? Enter relationships? Become alcoholics?
I guess what I'm asking is not "what is the meaning of life", but "how should one pursue life"?
Philosophy in practice.
truly intellectual people such as myself spend all day doing nothing but enjoying the finest media, reading the greatest literature and philosophy and of course sacrificing at least six hours everyday sharing my immense intellect and wisdom with the ordinary people
"truly intellectual" people either go insane and kill themselves or realize that this will happen down the road and take steps to being more normal.

Between the ego inflated fucks, idiots who believe they're hotstuff and actual intellectuals that won't bother answering directly I can only predict this thread will go to shit.
Never ever mention intelligence on 4chan. It's assuming so many things, you can be sure it'll only trigger shitstorms.

You should start by asking intelligent people.

well now I did but it would show 6/5 when you made that so you could obviously see I was not OP

>"what is the meaning of life"
Is it even a valid question? I mean the syntax of "1/0" is correct, yet is is undeffined, couldn't the meaning of life be a similar case?
>>862546
That depends on your philosophy?

True intellectual here. I strive to pursue intellectual interests. My goal is to become a polymath, and then after achieving this goal I'm gonna kill myself because I don't belong in this world full of anti-intellectual brutes.
