LetsRun - An Intellectual Forum in the Making?

I believe the capacity exists if so does the desire.

I see this as a current proposition, not one that has to be worked toward.

Reading other people's posts already makes me feel highly intellectual.

Isn't "NYC Intellectual" an oxymoron?

Maybe they were referring to their street smarts.

"Street smart"--knowing what street you live on.

In any case, Elitist is nearly correct: "NYC" and "intellectual" should not be paired; but the correct term for their pairing is a redundancy.

That's "makes me feel like a freeking genius!"

I feel like there are a lot of smart people on here. A lot of good info. That's why I keep coming back. The mods can be an annoyance with what they delete and what they allow to persist.

wouldn't there probably be some intellectuals at the universities and a few others scattered around out the many millions who live there?

No, genius, it's 'freaking'.

Good lord, the irony.

No kidding, they just deleted a thread about their own censorship. No way can this ever be an intellectual forum with such childish moderators. Pretty sad!

You mispeeled inttalektual.

Not a f****** chance.

No question. 12 posts in and we're arguing grammar.

I suspect the mods are the biggest problem here.

Intellectuals are the smart person's equivalent of skinny kids with no six pack who lift to get bulging shoulders and biceps, while still looking like pencil-legged dweebs...a mentally deformed hack. I'd rather be smart than intellectual any day of the week. An old professor of mine, quite an intellectual himself, defined an intellectual quite well as an expert no one needs. Further, to focus on the intellect alone, when development of the will an emotions is also needed, is myopic. It reminds me of people who think rationality is the only thing worth teaching people. The mind has its limits. Get over it.
