I have been struggling with these two concepts.
I think someone can be very well educated but I would not always refer to them as an intellectual.
There are people that I have known who are not well educated formally but are well read and have self-studied and fall into the category of intellectual.
I think that intellectuals look beyond the educated word in their reasoning and their thinking.
There are people that have many degrees but are still hidden within a "box".
Should they all be in balance within the furnace Dan?
That's like a triangle in the circle ... could we add outside forces for learning ... a square peg in the circle with a grand eye over head ... inscribed pyre amid us!
Perhaps it is just an image in a non-existent imagination that gives us the idea of a vast sole ... a Wahl of a story in Danish ... sweet bread for the learning. But how could we have an imagination without a mind buried deep in that fishy creature?
