In a time in which people have access to more information than ever, we see a trend of complete communities online going through mutual stages in their lives. From the Atheists of the 2000's to the Christians of the 2010's. This has culminated into the rise of more and more public intellectuals, each decade attempting to produce a more intellectual and wide-reaching figure than before. This too comes along with the mass disdain we see on forums like these where typically young men who live in solitude express hatred for these figures as a result of not being 'perfect' or 'right' enough. A sort of "getting over" or "growing out of" occurs which each new public intellectual/figure we see as we become accustomed to their ideas or if they too do not 'progress' or 'rise' with us in our communal development.

Could this mean that as each decade passes and the populace becomes more and more informed about esoteric subjects and ideas, we will see a continual rise in these public figures, each more and more intelligent than before until *one* emerges that may challenge them all? The Ubermensch?

Intellectualism is positively dead and the Internet gives a platform for autistic pseud neck beards such as yourself OP to spout their nonsense, e.g. This thread

This is wrong, both the quality and quantity of anyone deserving this title is going down each decade
