One man's attempt to resist the social pathology of anti-intellectualism, the vapid mindset of the "Cult of Personality," and the scourge of baseless, irrational thought. Failure is highly probable.

The pseudo-intellectual's guide
Dedicated to both professors, Glenn Loury and John McWhorter. I have given up on consuming their publishing, for now at least. Greatly based on this reason, but as well , there is more. That whole hurts my pretty brain thing?
My one major addition to this vid's substance?
How to tell if someone else is a pseudo-intellectual? They call them self an intellectual.
And just in case someone wants to believe I am just being jealous? My dream job is not their gigs. My dream job is being a writer/crew on some TV show like SNL, any of the major network late shows. Basically any show that uses current affairs as the inspiration and topic source, as long as the show is sufficiently liberal. And shot here in the Greater NYC area.
Fuck living anywhere else. Unless and until I need to flee the country. Which might be the case come 2025. I have all but given up on America. But that is a topic for another post.
Well, the last time I took the Jung-Keirsey Personality Test, the results informed me I was a Counselor Idealist. I normally would say it was my cynicism that led me to Law School. But yes, somewhere in the back of my mind, there still is a battered, hammered, starved, exhausted, nearly-fully defeated Idealist, that hopes for the day when he can regain what strength he formally had, if not thrive.
I am not a "People Person." I am definitely "Wonky."
I despise stupidity and moreso, deliberate ignorance.
I despair the chance that either our Nation or the Whole World will ever get out of the seemingly-suicidal spiral of sinister and senseless suffocation of souls.
I am prone to excessive alliteration and wordiness.
I strive to restrain my baser nature, and give way to the Angels of my Better Nature, but every now and then, the Angels lose the battle.
I truly have no use for phony people, or false heros.
I abstain from what is known as the "Cult of Personality."
I may not be from Missouri, but I believe, seeing is believing.
