Let's make a list of things necessary for the ultimate intellectual facade. In other words, the list of things that portray intelligence to proles and pseudo intellectuals but are not indicative of any intelligence at all. Someone who has all of these things could have an IQ of 50. Let's try not to overlap things so that it could feasibly all be done by one person.
>speaking multiple languages >posh accent >being good at chess >listening to classical music >being good at an instrument >knowing a lot / having an interest in Greeks or Romans or religions >Law degree (history undergrad)
Damn my nigger, your list is on point. Allow me to add some:
>Read a bunch of novels from popular young adult authors >Reading novels in general and making it a part of your personality >Carrying your shitty novels everywhere you go instead of reading at home like a sane person >Saying you like philosophy >Studying philosophy >Reading popsci books >using long words
Oh, excuse me. I meant
>Applying into practice syntacticaly far-reaching linguistical and written expressions
I know there's more but that is all that comes to mind.

This so much.
One of the most apparent indicators of stupidity is the phrase "I like reading". All it tells me is that you do so little reading in your daily life that you actually consider it a special activity when you take a break from your TV/pleb job to "read" some shitty fiction.

Well to be fair actually being able to speak more than two languages fluently isn't something a brainlet can really do. Of course the people who claim to be multilingual but barely know 100 words of the language they claim to be fluent in don't count.
True polyglots are rare and you can bet your ass that when they do exist they are of superior intelligence.

Laws should be written calling to execute all people who do this ffs.
Hey, if you want to be a pseudo intellectual then more power to you. I am just stating the facts.
