You think Buddhism is pro intellectualism?

Yes.
Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”
Wiser words were never spoken.
Zero was invented in India for a reason.
No.
Of all the major world religions, Buddhism probably has the least baggage. That doesn't make it pro intellectualism. Hell, the Catholic church officially acknowledges evolution and engages in astronomy. Still, I don't think too many people think of the Vatican as pro-intellectualism, lol.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
Albert Einstein
Most people confuse clever philosophical concepts with intellectualism.

Worse, many people confuse overwrought obscurantism with intellectualism.
