intellectual paradox

An intellectual paradox is the phenomenon whereby professionals and academics acknowledge a concept, practice it, write about it, and promote its relevance individually but as a collective lack a consensus on exactly what it is.

The concept of knowledge management suffers from an intellectual paradox.

s.c.r.e.a.m intellectual

"Intellectuals" from certain social categories and vocations that don't deserve any political opinion or outsized political clout as individuals.

the s.c.r.e.a.m intellectual would be from the following categories or vocations: s (sports), c

( celebrity), r (revolutionary), e (entertainment and art), a ("academia", specifically social science), m ( media).

A s.c.r.e.a.m intellectual like Travis Kelce or Taylor Swift or Oprah or Robert Deniro have too much political clout 🤔 in the modern world.

Scream intellectual

An 'intellectual' person that comes from the following social categories or vocations: sports, celebrity, revolutionary, entertaining, academic (social science only), media

I called them a scream intellectual because they seem to have outsized political clout compared to their political critical thinking skills and simply make a lot of political noise as a result. A scream intellectual would be someone like Robert DeNiro and Taylor Swift and Al Sharpton.
