== Superiority Complex ==
The liberal believes they are superior to others. Not in a physical sense but mentally, they have their high ground and nobody dare challenge. If you challenge Liberal Intellectualism thinking and beliefs, you risk being ridiculed. A good example is the classic Democrats versus Democratics statement. Liberal Intellectualism will say that it is not proper to use the sentence with the word Democrats, it must be proper, so it must be Democratics. However, 'Democrats' will suffice rather well and the reader understands regardless. There are many instances where <i>''Democratic</i> '' politicians use the word Democrats. Howard Dean says "Democrats have a lot of work to do among seniors." The nation's liberal newspapers use the word Democrats. Google's spellcheck prefers Democrats. The website for congress is addressed 'democrats.senate.gov' Excuses for insisting are endless and a part of Liberal Intellectualism thinking. ==True Intellectualism Among Liberals==Some liberals, while holding false views on God and the world, have made serious intellectual achievements in limited areas. *[[William James]]:*Made significant breakthroughs in psychology that are considered foundational to this day, and was instrumental in developing pragmatism, and the philosophy of pragmatism (ignored by most modern liberals). However, he did not believe in religion.*[[Albert Einstein]]:*Made monumental gains in modern [[physics]]. Like [[Isaac Newton|Newton]], he saw his work updated and corrected, but many of his discoveries were experimentally proven years after he predicted. However, he was an [[agnostic]] [[communist]].*[[Richard Feynman]]:*Played a significant role in developing the atomic bomb at the Los Alamos Project.:*Developed the Feynman diagrams in quantum electrodynamics.:*Successfully discovered the cause of the Challenger disaster. :*Atheist.*[[Frank Zappa]]:*A musical genius, he was hostile to family values. Explanation: some focus their powers of reasoning on the wrong problems, or start with a flawed set of assumptions. Because of their intellectual achievements in one field, they mistaken believe that they are right about everything.
