Why use a few meaningful words when a thousand meaningless ones will work?

  • Since members of Mensa score within the top 1% on intelligence/IQ tests, they are, by definition, intelligent. They're not pretending to be intelligent. Simply using complicated words or technical terms (fluently and within the proper context) does not make someone a pseudo intellectual. It makes them smart/educated/adept. If you have a problem with genuinely intelligent ppl, then you're an anti-intellectual. A pseudo intellectual is a false intellectual. Genuine intellectuals do exists, however

  • @ritter89

    I know.

    I was offered membership in High School.

  • Oh, and I'm quite sure people will turn around and tell me what a hypocrite I am for speaking against intellectualism whilst simultaneously trying to sound smart myself. The truth is, we're all hypocrites in some way. We lie, we fail to understand, and we make mistakes, but isn't that what humanity is all about? I don't wish to stand above or be separated from anybody simply because their opinions or dispositions don't agree with my own. Sincerely, with all my heart, stop fighting and just be.

  • But seriously though, I would rather pride myself on the virtues of honesty and humility than try so hard to seem important or intellectual above human. I truely don't give a flying fuck about what people think. Human intelligence is innate...bottom line. Whether a perceived level of intelligence is higher or lower than another is all a matter of circumstance. Ultimately, statistics and standards are meaningless. Let's all just sit around a campfire and love for eternity. How does that sound?

  • @IAmMrChainSaw Best comment I have ever seen on a video, better than "THUMBS UP IF U THINK JUSTIN BIEBER IS GAY LOL!!!!" at least.

  • "Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking."

  • @ritter89 Wow. This may sound like an insult because of this video, But you sound really smart o3o

  • @MadMAn12gauge There is an easy solution to your problem; judge the argument, not the presentation style. If you realize that someone is full of shit, then stop debating them because your not going to learn anything from them other then how to bullshit. What else could one say about that?

  • @PeterThenn No why dont you refresh my memory and ask me that question again

  • @MadMAn12gauge

    Have you ever heard of Sarcasm?

  • Besides just because a man is fucking crazy doesnt mean his opinion is less valid, pretanding to be smart, actually can make you a politician, it takes charisma to pull off...and thus you arnt actually pretending at all if you can out do the moron you are talking to :P

  • @Caveman135 not really man, allthough the creator of the video is exactly what he is trying to describe, he really doesnt know shit...all a pseudo Int person is...is a person pretending to be smarter than they actually are,by using charisma and simple knowledge of a wide variety of subjects to find a weakpoint to exploit in the opposing speaker and gambling that they dont have enough knowledge to call them out on it, thus you have to derail to another subject
