Looking down from their ivory tower even though it is actually made of sand. A dismal state of intellectual impoverishment.

My thoughts after an incident involving an authority figure spewing intellectual tripe

My God, what a joke, what a farce, what a travesty! What captious, capricious martinets they are! No academic value, integrity or credibility. Their entire department is a sham. A total, unalloyed, unadulterated, unmitigated sham. Frauds and charlatans the lot of them. No intelligence, no rigour, no anything.
And they have the gumption, the temerity, the audacity to call themselves intellectuals. They are not intellectuals. Most people I know are significantly more intelligent than them.

As a corollary to what I'm saying, cryptically, see this:

Yes I seem like a dickhead but oh well. I believe this.
