    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.'
