Smart Barb is a great trope. Conan was clever and sharp, just uneducated.
Was he uneducated? Ah least the movie version got to study philosophy as mich as i recall...
I haven't read many stories yet but I thought he generally looks down on intellectuals. Maybe that's where I got it.
He more looked down on people who didn't act. There were educated people who did things and he respected them. But being a lazy person who never uses their abilities whatever they are annoyed him.
It's been like a decade since I read any Conan though so.
That seems fair. I need to read more of em, I have all the stories ready for when my son's old enough.
