An intellectual is not a clever man who reads books,
he's a man who gives himself that label, identifying
with the group of like minded people who live largely
in & through books. He tends to be not very well paid
but clings to the belief he has a disproportionate influence
over what he sees as the immature & suggestible minds
with whom he spends much of his time.
This is the most pitiful thing about him & immediately recalls
Dr Johnson's definition:
'Intellectual - a wretched huxter of Philosophick geegaws.'
