That's dumb, though, since the article is about psychiatry, not capitalism. For the sake of argument, I assume that capitalistic egoism is crazy in that it's self-destructive. Does that entail that we should switch from capitalism to communism? That's a false dichotomy.
And "intellectual" needn't be defined in an honourific way. An intellectual could be just someone who's very interested in ideas. I have a Ph.D. in philosophy, and I've written a lot on ideas in philosophy, religion, history, politics, art, and science (as you can tell from my Medium output, for instance). Seems pretty intellectual to me.
What's not so intellectual is your comment, which manages to make several errors in just a short sentence. Do better when I'm around, will you?
