By how well they can engage a viewpoint that differs from their own. I Forget who said it but you need to be able to understand why somebody thinks the way they do so that you can then point out the flaws in their logic, or find the flaws in your own if their ideas are better. Stats and figures are one side of it but to truly defeat an arguement you need to be able to break it into little pieces and crush every thought individually.

If you don't know maths you don't know how to describe anything in a concrete manner. "Intellectuals" end up just arguing about definitions.
Intellectuals : scientists
"intellectuals" : social scientists.

Pseudo-intellectuals like to use fancy words and inkhorn terms unnecessarily, have poor insight but act like they know everything and are not receptable to good arguments that conflict with their views, probably due to their rigid mindset. They also often seem to feel the need to make others look stupid and perphaps most importantly they pretty much always overestimate their own intellectual capacity. Oh yea, they also like namedropping, especially revealing their "pseudoness" when whoever they're quoting only has a peripheral relevance to the topic.

If they get pissed when you disagree with them.
An intellectual will understand that people can be misguided and that they themselves can be wrong as well.
An "intellectual" cannot imagine himself to be wrong, and will be almost vitriolic in trying to prove himself right.

The main problem of Switzerland is the cost. It's super expensive so, most of the time, it's more interesting to visit an another european country for the price.
That being said and if we are not speaking of the nice places to ski in the Alps or cities like Lucerne you may be interested in watching a landsgemeinde.
We are a federal state composed of "cantons". In some of these cantons, in order to vote, you have to go to a certain place and vote by raising your hand in front of everybody. Of course, you have to provide an ID in order to vote...or you family's sword. You can identify yourself with your sword which is a nice tradition.

I don't think that necessarily constitutes a pseudo-intellectual. A pseudo-intellectual also feels the need to harass others with his "knowledge" and be viewed as an intellectual by them.
>>71763946
Mathfags, we can all agree that math is the foundation of science, but just because some guy chooses to be a philosopher or doctor doesn't mean he can't contemplate reality, things like personal interests and motivation aren't actually memes. The world would be a fucked up place if everyone were mathematicians and physicists.

You are wrong
>>71762606
I wouldnt take it as an absolute. Anyone is certain of something in thier life even if its fake. A true intelectual is someone who is capable of accepting that what he was certain about is wrong after being argumented and change his opinion.

Scalia's reaction to learning something new is the basis of intellectualism. You can find a sound clip or video of this case, and you'll hear that he sounds like a kid in a candy shop. Having that kind of excitement and curiosity when you're that goddamn old is rare.
An "intellectual" probably snorts, when they read that he and the other justices hadn't heard the term "orthogonal" before.
>>71765922
I didn't say that such a degree will make you an intellectual merely that it is a prerequisite to being one
>>71762428
How deep knowledge in maths would you consider someone should have before being considered an intellectual?

If you change your mind because you encounter other opinions, you're a tool. Not an intellectual.

There's math to it, really.
>>71766414
originalists and textualists do not need the news to do their jobs, only dictionaries from various time periods.
An intellectual is the opposite of a woman. The less feminine a man is, the more intellectual he becomes.
>>71766587
And that means they're not allowed to listen to the news at all?
This is the kind of stupid shit that happens, when you respond to a reply chain without actually reading the conversation taking place.
>>71766285
>>71766322

It all depends if you travel with someone (also who) and your tastes. Switerland is a country of lakes and mountains. If you like outdoors activities it's for you. If you prefer to party it might be interesting to go to carnival, in Valais (plus you can ski during the day). Regarding the architecture we have some nice traditional places like Gruyère but all in all it can't compete with France and Italy.

A lot of Portugueses are already here, they form a strong community. We don't have problem with them, they are very conservative and integrate pretty well.

I do understand and agree with that from a scientific point of view. However, aren't you being a pseudo-intellectual now then, passing judgement derived from semantics and not a mathematical model? Surely you must agree that some things can't be explained this way.
>>71767594
this. easiest way to find a pseudointellectual is to see what word he pulls from his lexicon and mistreats
>>71767548
I was making a point.
>>71767344
Definitions are themselves arbitrary. So long as someone uses consistent logic that applies to what a given symbol is defined to mean, they can do math.
Kinda like how someone can use "there's a math to it," to express logical rigor. It's not the most common thing in the world, but the meaning behind the phrase is perfectly obvious.
>>71767465
I didn't say it "is" math, I said there's a math to it. There's a difference between what their job is and the system in which that job takes place.

As soon as you come to defining terms you'll be able to tell if you're speaking to someone who is intellectually honest or not. An intellectual will not shy away from defining terms when having a discussion while the "intellectuals" will avoid defining their terms at all costs since their opinions are shallow.

Whether or not they're literally retarded. It's also useful to think about if their presentation is why you like them rather than what they're saying, even if what they're saying appeals to you, because often presentation can cover up lies.

I read somthing interesting on this topic.
Sometimes people or places are labelled 'Anti-intellectual'... But it's not always the case that they dislike or resent learned or intelligent people.
Sometimes people aren't even aware that they are actually *anti-semetic*...not anti-intellectual
People resent that these allegedly 'intellectual' people use warpy theories and esoteric jargon as status chips and use this intellectualism to denigrate and attack thier nation and culture.
The old educated elite were scholars, interested in learning for knowledge sake ...not intellectuals using theories to demoralize others.., or phony pretentious fake intellectuals who are using words and ideas to make themselves appear above thier fellow citizens.
You see this a lot with Jews/gays for whatever reason... A ostentatious desire to let everyone else know how 'smart' you are.
Its particularly pathetic when it's some middlebrow goy pretending, and blathering about big ideas that they don't really comprehend.
>>71768282
To some extent that's true but the mathematical "composition" of an apple wouldn't tell your nervous system how it looks, tastes and smells. Mathematics, while being the most reliable we have, is still just an approximation/model of reality.

Women are incapable of empathy or love. They are remorseless, irresponsible and solely guided by very primitive and undifferentiated emotions. The only thing that distinguishes a woman from a low functioning autist is the fact that autists can be benevolent occasionally.

Women evolved to be socially manipulative because men would just bash their/eachothers faces in with superior strength. Males didn't need these same skills and autistic traits were more adaptive to males, like repetitive interests/patterns. Women are also most definitely capable of selfless love towards their children. They are more responsive to oxytocin after all.
>>71770252
Ok I KNOW that's bullshit. I've known some exceptionally clever buggers, and some of them made damn sure you knew that they were smarter and better educated than you. Intellectuals can still be very competitive. It's practically a given, in physics.
