My impression is thinking is the *only* thing he enjoys! Your #68 made me think of him. ("The intellectual experiences genuine delight in seeing computers think thoughts they cannot think.") I don't know anyone as excited about computing as "media for thinking the unthinkable."

Depth metaphor felt too 2-D. I prefer a gordian knot or strange loops characterization which preserves inwardedness while adding dimensionality which is core feature of intellectualizing. Anti-intellectuals tend to prefer flatness. Some kiki / bouba at play here too methinks.

I could be wrong, but I bet the classification rule "downward-oriented metaphors for thinking --> intellectual" has high precision, low recall.
