i work with one tosser whos always intellectually creaming himself to anyone in earshot, always sliding his intellectual foreskin up and down his annoying mental shaft, trying to show everybloodything he knows about everyblooodything in the universe, with this annoying, slightly annoyed, slightly pompous tone, with about as much cultural sensitivity for anything that immediately revolving around the church of him as combat 18 have for shoes that arent doc martens and steel toe capped (ok, slight exaggeration here but anyway). so yeah, sod intellectuals.

"What? An intellectual? Him? That thing there? Lying on the ottoman scratching itself? Cor, that's your idea of an intellectual, is it? Well heaven preserve us. An intellectual! Him! The only thing he knows about books is how to run 'em."

I say fie upon intellectuals! Let us overthrow their haughty tyranny of affected bow ties and ten dollar words and reassert our birthright of commonsensical cracker barrel wisdom.

say, how do you get in on a think tank anyway? is it invite only? is there an application somewhere? and can anyone start a think tank? can I start a think tank? how many folks do I need to round up before it's a proper tank?

anyway it sounds like a lot of fun.

I'm not exactly sure what the argument is, I just see a lot of conservative clichés.
