Are intellectuals a minority?

I am aware the definition of an intellectual can be hazy, but let’s just say an intellectual is a person that uses critical and analytical thinking in the their daily lives, professionally and personally.

Now…..(how do I start this idea…?) I’m sure we all know there are a lot of people that just seem to not think this way, and when we are aware of them we are flabbergasted that they think the way they do.

Is there a way to gauge how many of these people there are compared to ‘intellectuals’? Does it just seem that there are idiots everywhere because there are in power or is a significant portion of the country/world like this? I hope I explained this well enough for you to understand. I will be back later to explain more. Thank you : )
