A smart - even brilliant - person does not fit into the 'intellectual' category unless other intellectuals deem that person to be one of them. Huh. Looks to me like being an intellectual doesn't even require actual intelligence. But maybe that's just my ignorance talking...
I love Thomas Sowell. I love the way he thinks, and I really enjoy reading his columns. Don't miss the one today - Intellectuals and Society.
From commenter Georgia Boy 61 at Townhall.com:
Wisdom does not reside in the academy, any more than it resides in the theater, the music studio or the sports stadium. One cannot acquire wisdom without being in contact with the hard edges of the real world.
