intellectual masturbation or not; I retain the right to talk innane philosophy with my friends or brother over a pint
it's my god given Irish right
EDIT: but I consider intellectual masturbation to be the excercise of intellect when not necessary and only for the sake of showing off one's knowledge. Like name dropping or using spcialized words (lol dem dere big wurds) in an everyday context. But it's also important not to fall into anti-intellectual thought.
