I.e A purely cosmetic intellectual. Someone who claims to be smart directly or indirectly but are really at the beginning of the dunning kreuger curve. They only pursue "intellectualism" as an accessory and justifications to feel superior to others. This can apply to: - kids/teens who think they are more educated than the teacher through youtube videos despite failing at school - people who say they love science but really just like reciting what Neil the black science man tells them. And not the actual mathematics or scientific derivation behind it. - people that are keen to make themselves appear "smart" or are very insecure about their intelligence -Jimmy neutron
