"The intelligent are to the intelligensia as a gentleman is to a gent."
OK..
"The intelligent are to the intelligentsia as David Douglas Duncan is to the paparazzi."
You'll have to google it.

Whenever I read about the "intelligentsia" I'm reminded of the story of The Emperor's New Clothes".

"The unlikely careers and even less likely ideas of Michel Foucault, Herbert Marcuse, Jacques Derrida, Stanley Fish, and Peter Singer -- theory-besotted humbugs who have done the most to make the current campus atmosphere both intellectually incoherent and morally repellant -- get the full Flynn treatment."
So true. I am glad someone is giving these people the treatment.

Paul Johnson's "Intellectuals" is also a wonderful book on this subject.

And in some cases (Like Kinsey), biopics are made about them.

Looks like a handy "Who's Who" of The Ususal Suspects, but it always helps greatly to confine the lunatics to one wing of the nut house. :)

Note that these "intelligentsia" are those who bestow the ttle upon themselves.

A fellow Freeper used to run a tagline which said "Intellectuals don't exist unless you want them to." I agree. (And a Happy and Prosperous New Year to you all.)

Lordy, most lefties I know wouldn't understand nuance if it slapped 'em in the face; they can't make relationships between points a, b, and c; have no idea there's consequences to actions; lastly, they don't take to change very well.
And they call us dumb and rigid!

"The confusing thing about the word "intelligentsia"..."From "The Architecure of Modern Political Power"
"The real task, Hitler told Wagener, was to realize the socialist dream that mankind over the centuries had forgotten, to liberate labor, and to displace the role of capital. That sounds like a program for the Left, and many parties called socialist have believed in less."
"...a movement to distort the foregoing reality to create a pseudoscientific rationale for mass collectivization and for the superiority and truth of collectivist ideologies (particularly, socialism)."
Pseudoscientific as in Global Warming or the continuing battle cry of the left so-called intelligentsia Kill the Greedy Corporations.
[Politics, for lots of people, is not evidence based........] and that is really dangerous!

There are a lot of educated idiots and educated fools in this world. It is extremely rare to find a genius with common sense.
