You Don't Have to Go to Dinner With Your Friends

A lot of people whose job isn't intellectuals spend a substantial part of their free social time trying to brand themselves as intellectuals. It's quite common for people who would be a dentist or a, you know, some other sorts of professional to add a dinner party. Play the intellectual and discuss intellectual topics quote intellectuals. That's actually a pretty common thing for people whose job is not being intellectual. So that's a contrary norm that you might have thought would have led to the opposite behavior.
