Are we at CFC Intellectuals?

[nc-1701]

Some yes, some no

many fall in between.

The'res really no correct answer to the question.

i will say slightly above average. while most here are clearly interested in subjects like history, political science, physics, social science and some others. but it also include more less intellectual subject, like who got the biggest/nicest boobs, to fav books, foods, etc etc.

Most of my friends are clever too, but they are not interested in talking about political stuffs or history.

This is where I slum.

 

[Gilder]

Are we intellecuals? Like a can of soup.

Are we intellecuals? Like a can of soup.

I dunno, I'm not sure if we can compete with Alphabet Soup.

I think CFC is more akin to a bunch of people passing around a peace pipe full of some crazy whacko substance. We each take a puff, say some crazy ass backwards rabble, and then pass it on!

 

[Kraznaya]

In my opinion, intellectuals are stupid people who use big words to pretend that they have worthy intelligence. Maybe CFC does fit that.

 

[ummmm........]

If there were any intellectuals here, I'm pretty sure we would've driven them off by now . . .

 

[Irish Caesar]

We're not intellectuals, but we like to pretend we are!

"Intellectuals are the shoe-shine boys of the ruling class"

I'm not sure what that has to do with anything but I've always liked that quote.

No, for the most part we are not intellectuals, though some of us fancy ourselves to be.

 

[Moss]

Some of us are...

...most of you, are not.

 

[Perfection]

Some of us are...

...most of you, are not.

You're saying you're an intellectual?!

 

[Gr3yL3gion]

I don't think so.

 

[Erik Mesoy]

Maybe on good days, like when I write the multiple-page dissertation on types of minds, but not in general.

Then again, I suspect that most intellectuals are also idle and witty in their free time, so maybe I am.

 

[Yoda Power]

Of all the different social circles (I wonder if you can even call CFC a social circle, but heck you get the point) I am part of, CFC is probably the dumbest of them all. The average CFC poster isn't very intellectual compared to any of my friends or family members. Whenever I see people claiming that CFC posters are wiser than most, I can't help to wonder what kind of people they hang out with in R/L.

That said, I highly enjoy CFC as a place to relax and create/download civ stuff.

 

[Pasi Nurminen]

I think that most of us are probably regarded as something like intellectuals in each of our respective social circles, but here most of us are just par for the course. We're probably the kind of intellectuals that aren't really that intelligent next to most, but IRL we just keep on jabbering until no one is willing to continue arguing and learn not to argue with us ever again. Verbal spamming.

 

[Sidhe]

FredLC: Yes
Garry Denke: Yes
All others: NO (although many think they are)

I don't think I'm an intelectual I know I am, and I don't and never have given a damn what you think anyway as there are plenty of others on CFC, don't confuse Fred LC's gift of the gab with intelectualism, although he probably is, at the end of the day it's content not flowery prose that counts as I aptly demonstrated with his nonsense about atheism being better than agnosticism, pure opinion accepted as fact by idiots.

As always I think you fifty are reflecting your own insecurities.

 

[storealex]

Im not geeky enough to be a true intelectual. A lot of people here are geeky enough, but are too stuck in their own worldviews to contemplate new ideas.

 

[bathsheba666]

I am only superficially deep.

Deep down, I'm really rather shallow.
