An intellectual is an educated person who has not risen beyond their capacity of merely "knowing," that is, they are not doers.

An intellectual is not an artist.
An intellectual is not a composer.
An intellectual is not an author.
An intellectual is not a revolutionary.
An intellectual is not a visionary.

Yes, you can be an intellectual without higher education. But you will probably not be recognized by their community unless you visibly and soundly beat them at their own game with critical or commercial success.
