You're all pseuds.
Convince me otherwise.

*BRAAAAAP*

*ploc*

A pseud wouldn't say that.

I often feel like I have to dumb down my speech when talking to people because no one likes intellectuals who use big words, it makes them feel dumb

Pseud? Pseudo-what. Pseudonym?
How ought I be a pseudonym, when that's the symbol and I'm a mere referent.

I'm not even normally from /lit/, I come here to talk about horror books

Going to college to pursue a degree in world history and wrote several books of political philosophy.

Shan't.

a pseud cannot know they are a pseud

The last time I read Moby-Dick the opening paragraphs of the first chapter almost moved me to tears.

>>24706673 (OP)
I haven't the personal need to do so.
The burden of proof is upon the accuser.
Why do you deem me a pseud?
How do you define a pseudo-intellectual in the first place?
Not the textbook definition, in your own understanding of the term, what it means to you, specifically.

>>24706673 (OP)
I primarily read fiction.

I am a psued, unironically. I'm not particularly bright, above average sure, but nowhere near genius level.
I like to spend my time researching things, I will often get very fixated on something seemingly at random and spend a great deal of time combing the internet for information about the subject; youtube, articles, forum posts, whatever I can get. For example, I've spent hours, days, months, researching weapon mounted flashlights.
I like brain-teaser logic puzzles, I like philosophy, I like learning things in general.
My job isn't cognitively demanding but I often abstract it and think of my workplace as a complex, but not necessarily complicated, system with multiple elements and then evaluate those individual elements as well as their inter-connected relationships amongst one another.
I guess that could also just be called autism.

What is beneath a pseudo near the bottom of the iq scale?

>>24706696
Same. The problem is that it eventually makes you yourself dumb.

Have you heard of Jared Henderson? He’s legitimate and probably secretly posts here.

>>24706673 (OP)
Fool that you are, you have fallen for my trap. Little did you know, all along, I was comprised of rubber and you of glue. Haha!

I like to reenact the photo Goatse in the mirror before taking a shower.

Why?

I just like to read the funny (and often beautiful) words. I'm not claiming to be smart enough to understand them.

I think you're right

>>24706673 (OP)
I am and will forever stay a massive pseud. My issue is that it's impossible to find genuine intellectuals, people who could help elevate me from pseuddom, to talk with. I've even taken a couple of philosophy and literature courses at my local university and guess what, everyone there's a pseud.

Based, Joyce would have been proud.

>>24706673 (OP)
Verily I proclaim, we are all but pseuds in the great pseudverse just pseuding. Don't try to get out of this one, any attempt to convince is just more pseuding.

>>24706673 (OP)
Ceteris paribus, a pseud wouldnt post a cute frog

>>24706673 (OP)
Based on my in depth study of this place you are correct good sir.

A wise strimer once said: "It is what it is." And I thought, what about if I want it to be something else?

>if x then y, prove me wrong
Read the rules, OP.
