What is one?

I would compare the definitions to the differences between Marx and Engels.

Marx would define his life as a struggle, and it was. He labored in poverty.

Engels was not poor, and would discuss his ideas over a bottle of fine wine.

A true intellectual to my way of thinking is more like Marx, somebody who incorporates his intellect into his entire being, not the limo liberal intellectual who finds it as another activity.

An intellectual is one who pursues logic and its rigors to explain everything. I've had friends who do this. They read the Wilson Quarterly instead of looking at National Geographic. The internalize all.

The rest of us are Engels, or limo intellectuals.
