First, I need to break down the term. Anti-intellectualist... so it's someone who opposes intellectualism. But what's the nuance here? Intellectuals are often seen as people engaged in critical thinking, theorizing, etc. So an anti-intellectual might disdain those activities or promote skepticism towards them. I should make the definition funny but accurate. Maybe play on phrases or use hyperbole. Let's brainstorm. Maybe compare them to something absurd. Like, "An anti-intellectualist is someone who thinks that Einstein was actually a clown with delusions of grandeur." Wait, no. Need to be more precise. They dislike people they perceive as intellectuals. Another angle: Use satire. Maybe say they believe in ignoring books and relying on street smarts instead. Or something like that. But keep it scholarly enough not to lose the humor. For the example sentence, it needs to be unsettling. So maybe a controversial figure making a bizarre claim against academia. Like, "The anti-intellectualist senator argued that evolution was just a theory and insisted we all watch bees communicate their stance on natural selection instead." Not sure if that's edgy enough. Maybe something more direct but still academic-sounding. Wait, the example should use the word 'anti intellectualist' in context. So maybe: "Doctor X, known as an anti-intellectualist, claimed that quantum physics was too abstract and suggested we all just observe raindrops to learn about gravity." That's a bit funny and slightly unsettling because it mocks serious science. Let me check if I'm using the correct spelling in the definition. The user wrote 'anti intellectualist' with hyphens. Should I keep them? Yes, proper noun isn't an issue here; it's a descriptive term. Also, need to ensure the humor comes across without being offensive. Maybe avoid personal attacks and focus on exaggerated viewpoints. Putting it all together: Define anti-intellectualist as someone who dismisses or undermines intellectuals and their pursuits. Then give an example where such a person rejects academic theories in favor of more... well, non-academic phenomena, causing concern or confusion. Final check: Example sentence should be unsettling but still within a context that makes the term's usage clear. Maybe involving a respected institution being mocked by anti-intellectualist rhetoric. Definition: An anti-intellectualist is someone who thinks traditional academia serves retards—like dissing Einstein at a high school reunion, ridiculing philosophers as "head-in-the-clouds," and believing you can win debates by never reading something longer than 500 words. In short: They distrust anyone with a degree or a thinking cap (unless they’re arguing that reality TV is actually a sophisticated form of social experiment). Example Sentence: "Professor Y, an anti-intellectualist since birth, openly mocked evolutionary biology at the International Science Conference, claiming, ‘Bees debating morality would never understand nuance—let’s all watch their ‘sociological’ honeycomb structures instead.’ ” Unsettling twist: The room fell silent... except for a few lab rats scurrying nervously.
