Wittgenstein's anti-intellectualism was quite well-known and he voiced his displeasure towards intellectualism during his time.

Really, this is the root of a lot of his philosophy. It was to prove intellectuals wrong. For some of us, he was right. Reading any philosophy book, we joke that it takes a philosopher 20-some odd pages to get to the punchline. Why? No idea. Philosophers love to hear themselves talk and love to meander.
