Pseudo Intellectuals,

 

Real intellectuals – like me and my dear Dutch friend AnnaMieke – have Embodied Language (EL), but pseudo-intellectuals, always engage in Disembodied Language (DL), in which speakers demand - childishly - the listener’s attention. This forceful DL is the antithesis of reasoning, because listeners, albeit, mostly unconsciously, are coerced into accepting what the my-way-or-the-highway, pretentious, domineering speakers are saying.

 

In DL, any bombastic, arrogant, manipulative speaker, supposedly, is right, because he or she says so. There is absolutely no feed-back in DL, therefore, speakers get away with their bullshit, because, presumably, it is disrespectful to hold these mother-fuckers accountable. Everyone in power should be transparent, but in DL this is never the case. Preferably, those who claim to know, don’t answer any questions about their preposterous opinions they continuously push on others. This is the case with everyone, who is involved in DL. Therefore, this involvement in DL, is not limited to those very few people, who rise to leadership positions in society, but it involves everyone, from the bottom to the top.

 

People with DL always pretend to have a lot of intelligence and knowledge, but they are talking out of their ass. Even if, factually, they are more informed about certain topics than other, their knowledge serves as a cover up for their hubris. Their dangerous, excessive and pathetic pride, over-confidence, self-importance or arrogance, goes hand in hand with a sense of complacency. They believe they are special, but they are full of shit. If you question them, they get agitated and hostile, as they don’t tolerate any criticism.

 

Why would anyone, who talks about matters which are presumably important, engage in the exact same, stupid, unconscious, unnatural way of talking, everyone else is involved in? It is a fact, that people still engage in blunt, forceful, dumb DL, regardless of their level of education. Moreover, pseudo-intellectualism always wins from real intellectualism, as someone with EL, is isn’t going to have meaningless arguments with someone who is automatically engaged in DL.   

 

The often-heard, ridiculous saying, pick your own battles, supposedly, allows the presumably intelligent person to choose, which conflicts are worth their time and energy, rather than attempting to fight every perceived wrong. Anyone with EL, however, knows all conflicts are a waste time and energy. Moreover, anyone with ongoing EL, is, of course, against every perceived wrong, that is committed by our endless involvement in DL. Furthermore, the notion, anyone would have their preferred conflict, is a justification for their DL.

 

When we know about the difference between DL and EL, we acknowledge, it was DL, which introduced us to the false notion, there can be such a thing as over-confidence. This crazy idea, that we can have too much confidence, means: we have no confidence, that is why we pretend. Pseudo-intellectuals claim – with their DL – that over-confidence is one of the largest and most ubiquitous biases to which human judgement is vulnerable, but in EL, we realize, it was our common way of talking, DL, that clouded our judgement. Over-confidence is a product of our DL, the way of talking, in which we don’t listen to ourselves.

 

You are not really knowledgeable, as long as you, unconsciously, engage in superstitious DL. If I follow the definition, which, as I have stated, derives from DL, I myself am a classic example of a pseudo-intellectual. After all, the devious pseudo-intellectual, according cowards, who are not sincere enough to engage in EL, is a person exhibiting intellectual pretentions, that have no basis in sound scholarship. Everyone will have to discover the difference between DL and EL by themselves. This great difference isn’t determined by pseudo-intellectual scholarship. I don’t care about scholarship grounded in DL, as I speak on my own authority about my EL.

 

With my ongoing EL, I am the real intellectual, who doesn’t try to prove anything. Those who claim to prove, whatever it is they say, engage in DL and all of them are pseudo-intellectuals. I was naïve to believe, that academia and science would be open to experience and would acknowledge the important distinction between our DL and EL. I have no hesitation to admit, I feel deeply disappointed in academia and science, as I have spend many years of my life in psychology. It is a great relief to be away from it all and to do my own thing, but in this writing, I’ve made clear, who is the pseudo-intellectual. Let me give one example, why everyone with DL is really dumb. Everyone with DL believes in private speech, in thought, in inner language, but there are, of course, no words to be found anywhere inside of the human body. DL has been pushing and exploiting, forever, the illusion of the mind.
