One of my hobbies over the last year has been watching the Olympics. The dullards would see the games about people competing against each other. Whereas the intellectuals would see the games as a matter of outwitting the opponents.

If you can't see the technical details of the motor racing, you probably are part of the dullard club that likes the "vroom-vroom" sound the cars make. It comes down to who has the best tactics, the most efficient cars, who can win in the final corner or outpace the others by a long way. The movie "Ford vs Ferrari" does touch on this aspect.

And if you are just staring at a television screen to watch a movie and not get some kind of incentive to formulate your own movie world, you are probably part of the dullards who follow any trend blindly.

"okay boomer" is anti-intellectual. Dullards would consider "okay boomer" a suave, profound retort.
