If you exclude reading, writing, speaking, and listening (ie use of language, including math or code) as mere table stakes, how would you define “intellectual” in terms of essential non-language behaviors that non-intellectuals typically don’t exhibit?

I would say that an intellectual identifies inefficiencies and can't help but try to optimize them.

That's interesting. I would have never guessed. Is there something you've written that would explain why you might think this?

I think we’re picturing different things when it comes to the meaning of optimization.
