There areplenty of moronic professional academics around. Wokism is full of them.

I just gave you hundreds, if not thousands, who must surely be alive today.

Perhaps because American stupidity and dumbing down has spread and infected the whole planet and we are now living in an idiocracy?

There are still intelligent people around but they are being silenced by wokie fuckwitism.
Of course they are being silenced by dumbfucks, but dumbfucks of every ideology. They are the dumbfucks who struggled thru school, barely getting by despite the trove of participation awards for poor performances, and they resent being put down by the smart ones who get more smileys on assignments and tests.

But they are mostly Americans, because America is the nexus of dumbing down for the entire world.
Americans value and aspire to stupidity. Henry makes an art form out of trying to appear idiotic. Why do you think they talk the way they do? Who else says 'conversate' as if it's an actual word? Fuck them.
American English, already a bastardization of true English (I.e. the Queen’s) is becoming irrelevant as techno English is taking over. “Conversate”, “optimalization” and “integrationism” are just 3 examples of words with superfluous suffices attached, making the new pseudoword longer and less convenient than the original.

But your motives are neither pure nor virtuous. You don't want any answers. Do you know how transparent you are??

And 'functionable'. They seem to take great joy in destroying the language. I don't know why they laughed at Bush for doing it--although that was a while ago now. American idiocy has 'progressed' a lot since then.

Are you trying to suggest that there can be no intelligentsia unless individuals are identified by name? Are you implying that there are only the 3 intelligentsia who have been named upthread?

it's a simple question: who are today's intelligentsia?

I don't want definitions or generalities: I'd like names

if you don't know any other than mahr, that's fine
