What is Intellectual Dissatisfaction?

Intellectual Dissatisfaction is a publication based in Sioux Falls that features political journalism, nationwide live music coverage, daily NASDAQ-100 Futures and weekly Bitcoin technical analysis, as well as writing and art by creatives across the US.

Why we chose our name

Intellectual dissatisfaction refers to a state of discontent or dissatisfaction that arises from a lack of intellectual stimulation, engagement, or fulfillment.

It often stems from feeling unchallenged, uninspired, or unfulfilled in one's intellectual pursuits, leading to a sense of restlessness and a desire for more meaningful and engaging experiences.

This can manifest in various aspects of life, such as work, education, or personal interests, and can be a driving force for change and growth as individuals seek out new opportunities to expand their knowledge and challenge their minds.

We felt this ourselves and had no doubts others did to. So, we challenged ourselves to address this dissatisfaction by doing what most others are not — bringing you honest, fair, and informative insights into what’s happening in our area and beyond, while also keeping a much-needed air of levity at the same time.
