When he stops caring about if he's seen as an intellectual by others and starts reading the classics because it's enjoyable to him, so most likely never.

for a pseud to turn into an intellectual he must first turn into nothing, and out of nothing to emerge an intellectual. emergence out of nothing is impossible, therefore change from pseudry to intellectualism impossible too.

A pseud can't become an intellectual because he has a pseud attitude.

"must turn into nothing" being impossible denotes a misinterpretation by the speaker of a poorly stated idiosyncratic phrase as being literal. as a person previously focused on the sciences, I've had difficulty in adapting to creative writing while this never hindered my progress substantially. the process of remaking has to be coordinated and rearranged at various points towards the end.

When you equally start enjoying both highbrow and lowbrow entertainment.

Anyone who argues about taste on 4chan is a pseud. I'm a pseud, you are a pseud, everyone on /lit/ is a pseud.
