I think some enjoy the attention, but most are doing it for money. I never really asked it. There are probably some who are in for both. There is even a girl who writes things in there.

There is a girl who writes a blog. https://knowingless.com She seems to be in a quite particular situation. But check it out if you are that curious.

If you possess intellect, and virtuously use it, you are an intellectual, and do not need to pose for this to be evident to others —to those who matter; if you possess intellect, and viciously misuse it, you are an intellectualist/sophist —an a priori poseur—, otherwise known as a "dickhead".

You surely must've mistaken me for someone else, kind sir. I am not an intellectual, I am a retard who uses reading as a surrogate activity to ignore life and wait it out until attaining the sweet solace of death.

/lit/ is full of retard genius tropes and this is the definitive mark of intellectualism. Just read a lot but remain retarded
