Please take a look at and subscribe to my "politics only" channel, ⓐⓡ⊞ⓘⓞ: https://www.youtube.com/c/ActiveResearchInformedOpinion/videos This video is a reply to a question from a supporter on Patreon (you, also, can support the channel for $1 per month, and send in comments and questions): https://www.patreon.com/a_bas_le_ciel Although this may be more interesting after hearing the video than before it, I'd note that there is a contrasting-and-partly-overlapping definition offered by Wikipedia: *"An intellectual is a person who engages in critical thinking, research, and reflection about society and proposes solutions for its normative problems.* Some gain authority as public intellectuals. Coming from the world of culture, either as a creator or as a mediator, the intellectual participates in politics either to defend a concrete proposition or to denounce an injustice, usually by rejecting, producing or extending an ideology, and by defending a system of values."
