Practice rhetoric for a few years and then make a career out of publicly defending whatever religion you think will receive you the best. People give guys like that shitloads of money because they're a key part of helping them feel like their beliefs are on even intellectual footing with stuff that's actually taken serious by philosophy departments.

Spend a few months on /sci/, discuss consciousness, 0.999... =/= 1, quantum mechanics, the "inevitability" of strong AI, etc. in broadly vague terms and you'll be set for life.

A crucial ingredient of this is to never actually open a textbook on those things.

Read lots of books

Pretend you know a lot of stuff

Practice how to use rhetoric and how to attack other people's opinions and arguments in a way that makes you look superior.

Wait, isn't that intellectualism in a nutshell?
