A person who usually lives in a safe, liberal bubble who believes you can run the world as if it's a club designed to keep out poor people. They generally take edge case, nuanced scenarios, or things that can only be done in high trust systems and try to apply them to every situation.

It aims to critique a person's position while allowing them to retain some dignity. It's a vivid analogy emphasising the thoroughness of the rebuttal

Get the Intellectual brazilian mug.You knew I would have something to say about it right there didn't. That exact spot 😁 Now... I could make a jab and say "Well, maybe they're overestimating their intellectual capacity but I think that would be low hanging fruit. I think it's more interesting to say that the disparity is to great that I genuinely can't tell the difference between any of you.
Hym "You also have to consider (when talking about intellectual compatibility) the fact that half of the population doesn't believe in the I.Q. literature as a reliable metric for intellectual and refer to the fact that early I.Q. tests involved American history and pop-culture trivia while ingoring entirely the fact that THEY DON'T DO THAT NOW and it now consists in 3 sections (Word association, Logic, and Number sequencing). But I don't think number sequencing relates to general cognitive ability as it relates to a certain type of innate mathematical perception OR mathematical literacy (as it can be learned and once you know the equation that solves number sequence problems you can just solve the problems). Right? They're mostly proponents of multiple intelligences theory or rely on field expertise or education. But to use education as a metric for intelligence you have to presuppose that the people who have taken the course would have done better than the people who hadn't, had the latter people taken the course (Which you WOULD but only because my staggering brilliance would embarrass the professor and he would sabotage me out of spite). Expertise is meaningless if the conclusion drawn by way of your expertise is wrong. And multiple intelligences is just 'expertise' and 'education' and 'emotional intelligence (which isn't real)' and 'creativity' as, like, a plurality of ways in which a person can be considered 'intelligent.' So, there's that."

Intellectual origami involves sounding intellectual for the sake of sounding intellectual. The speaker will use high profile and scientific sounding words. Think of origami like an intricately folded collection of sharp edges which look impressive, but have much less weight than you’d think.
Paul from Love Is Blind deployed his intellectual origami when speaking or answering any question that production asked him. It would sound impressive, but ultimately it was just a form of intellectual word salad.
