Absolutely. Ever heard of this thing called "academia"?

I'm not sure what you are saying? Academics are all retarded? It takes a lot of work and brainpower to get a PHD

>It takes a lot of work to get a PHD
Fixed this for you. You can also look up the average IQ PHD awardees have. It's below 120. So much to them all being geniuses.
>How can that be. It must be that IQ isn't reliable and must be wrong.
Going into academics in the first place is a stupid thing to do. People who do that either majored in humanities or are stupid STEMs with little actual career prospect.

All intellectuals are idiots.

A public intellectual is just anyone holding a unique philosophical outlook. Of course that person and their ideas can be contemptibly stupid. Just take for instance, Camus or Lacan.

Don't take the humanities into account, everything there except for philosophy is a joke.

that's what all "intellectuals" are.
