Pseudo-intellectualism is perhaps not "thought-terminating." It does something more subtle. It is "thought-repeating" or "thought-containing." It turns your brain power in on itself, looping endlessly, wasting your time & energy in pointless sophism.
It feels stimulating because the wheels in your brain are turning, but you never arrive anywhere. You stay right where you are.
