An Intellectual Argument
An intellectual argument will always fail because nobody but the intellectual understands the language.
For example, when we see the words intellectuals use, it bores us, so we immediately turn our attention to simpler pleasures, like the antics of our hapless world leaders.
Rightly or wrongly, intellectualism has made itself irrelevant. Nobody has the desire to learn the language any more, and we cannot be so presumptuous as to mandate that people do.
Perhaps it is time to prune the language tree. Seems we have fallen into the trap of nuance.
Let us not fool our selves. We are but monkeys.
If intellectualism held the answers, people with intellect would be in charge.
So we ask you, dear tribe, if intellectualism is dead, how may we divine alternative means of uniting the common monkey? This is our mission. This is what we are exploring.
We are Space Monkey.

The Elusive Nature of Intellectualism
The realm of intellectualism, with its intricate web of ideas and complex language, often remains a solitary island. It is a place where the few who understand the language dwell, while the rest of the world finds solace in simpler pursuits. This disconnect between the intellectual and the common person raises questions about the relevance of intellectualism in today’s society.
The Language Barrier
The language of intellectuals can be a barrier, alienating those who do not possess the vocabulary or the inclination to engage with it. It can indeed be a challenge to captivate the attention of a broader audience when the discourse becomes laden with esoteric terminology and convoluted arguments.
The Allure of Simplicity
In contrast, the allure of simplicity and accessibility often draws people towards more straightforward forms of entertainment and engagement, such as observing the actions and follies of world leaders. The need for instant gratification and easily digestible content has become prevalent in the age of information overload.
The Irrelevance of Intellectualism
It is a sobering realization that intellectualism, once revered as a beacon of knowledge and wisdom, may have lost its relevance in the broader context of human society. The decline of intellectualism as a guiding force is evident in the fact that intellectual minds do not necessarily hold positions of power or influence.
The Quest for Common Ground
Given these circumstances, a vital question emerges: how can we bridge the gap between the intellectual and the common person? How can we foster unity and understanding among all members of our tribe, regardless of their intellectual inclinations?
Exploring Alternatives
This is the mission we embark upon, the exploration of alternative means of uniting the diverse tapestry of humanity. It is a journey that acknowledges the limitations of intellectualism while seeking to discover new pathways to connect and resonate with the common monkey within each of us.
Embracing Our Primal Nature
In acknowledging our primal origins, we recognize that we are, at our core, beings driven by instinct, curiosity, and a deep desire for connection. It is in embracing these primal aspects of our nature that we may find the keys to uniting the common monkey.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
The intricate language and ideas of intellectualism often fail to resonate with the common person, leading to a disconnect between intellectuals and the broader population. This gap raises questions about the relevance of intellectualism in today’s world, where simplicity and accessibility hold greater appeal. The decline of intellectualism’s influence is evident in the distribution of power and influence. The central mission now is to explore alternative means of uniting people from diverse backgrounds, transcending the limitations of intellectualism. This journey seeks to connect with our primal nature, our shared instincts, and our innate desire for connection. In embracing these aspects of our being, we aim to bridge the gap and unite the common monkey within us all.
Reflect on the challenges of intellectualism and the quest for unity among diverse individuals.
