Very thoughtful and relevant piece Marwa! Sadly, the time we live in, riddled with screen obsession and an aversion to the effort required of actual learning, means so many people have fallen victim to the ignorance and arrogance espoused by such pseudo-intellectuals. Even the fact that there's a group of people called 'influencers' is so absurd to me - many times they're people with nothing substantial or beneficial to offer, but there are millions of people ready to give them the authority and prestige people once gave to great scholars 😭 Thanks for writing!
I agree, Zahra. Influencers don't always add value or even have something useful to contribute to our community. It is all about popularity and wealth nowadays. Thank you, my darling, for your thoughtful comment 🙏🏻💖
I totally agree with this 💯 It's so easy to just claim a title or achievement for the wrong reasons. There's a difference between celebrating wins, and pseudo-intellectualism but so many people play with it.
Exactly, it is easy to pretend that you are an intellectual and exploit the public by using this title. Thank you for reading and for being always a loyal reader ❤️.
