Academics "highly intellectual"?

Haha. No-no. They've just garnered knowledge on a topic. The highly intellectual people are paid much more outside of an institution because they can do stuff with that knowledge.

IDK, all this "quoting other people's work" business seems mighty intellectual to me. Really smart people are outside of academia, where they think of smart stuff all on their own. /s
