Ok, what term do you believe should be applied to someone who professionally mocks people's intellectual shortcomings (real or imagined...this gets into another variation of the phenomenon), and in so doing demonstrates that he too suffers from the very same abstract problem, to the cheers of audiences who also suffer from the same problem (many of whom will then recommend his work, spreading this mind virus (both data & methodology) ever further)? Is the irony of this circle jerk of delusion not a bit thick?
