Intellectual Beggar

Intellectual is defined as a person who places a high value on or pursues things of interest to the intellect or the more complex forms and fields of knowledge, as aesthetic or philosophical matters on an abstract and general level. A beggar is defined as to request a donation in a supplicating manner. There are few current techniques for begging which have not been used for hundreds of years, or are not based on older techniques, adapted to modern technology. Beggars rarely recorded their techniques, and often used to disguise their own communication.

            When I think of a intellectual beggar I think of a student. Students can be intellectual beggars by wanting to know more than the basics or the common knowledge. A student wants to learn so one could benefit from the knowledge. Also, they would enjoy something to challenge them and make them think about problems and issues, and how to communicate with others about those issues and possibly resolve them.

            Also, when I think of a intellectual beggar I think a survivalist which who is who are actively preparing for future possible disruptions in local, regional, national, or international social or political order. Survivalists often prepare for this anticipated disruption by having emergency medical training, stockpiling food and water, preparing for self-defense and self-sufficiency, and building structures that will help them to survive.

            An intellectual beggar can be anything it relies upon your perspective of a intellectual beggar. It could vary from a knowledge hungry student or someone who does anything to live for another day with preparation of a anticipated disaster or emergency.
