From the page: "Tuesday, May 6, 2008 Some Symptoms of Intellectual Arrogance Some Symptoms of Intellectual Arrogance By Furibundo â€oeFuser” Serna (Philippine Union for Nationalist Liberation) Intellectual arrogance is a formidable barrier to the development of a revolutionary consciousness. The author has had his own internal struggles with this undesirable trait. Try testing if you exhibit some symptoms of intellectual arrogance, as experienced by the author, by answering the following: 1. Do I enjoy articulating but remain impatient with listening? 2. And whenever I listen, do I mull silently to myself that I know better? 3. Am I partial towards the elder but envious of the younger firebrands? 4. Do I resist bold ideas not because I disagree but because of the vigorous manner that they were presented? 5. Do I feel threatened by those who mirror my deep convictions but possess superior knowledge and skill, yet at ease with those who know less? 6. Do I withdraw unto myself to nurse a wounded ego after facing men with clearer visions? 7. Do I then resurface to stubbornly uphold my grave errors or sow intrigue against those who had punctured my self-image? 8. Do I support views and propositions if developed by me but not if put forward by others? 9. Do I adore the great men of history and revere their thoughts but belittle those who exhibit the same faith and conviction in modern day? 10. Do I take pleasure in agitating myself but not in being stirred by otherâ€s passions?"
