What’s anti-intellectualism and why is it bad?
In: 0
It’s the act of opposing reasoning, thinking.
The base is an attack to people that express reason, ignoring reason itself.
Example: you say that exposure to sun is harmful, i reply that it’s also good for vitamine D production. We then agree that sunlight is good for the body but only for a correct quantity. This is reason. Is having an argument with the scope of growing a better concept together.
You say sun is harmful, and I reply you better bugger off. This is anti intellectual.
Why is it bad: because if I’m anti intellectual I won’t protect myself from an obvious cause of skin cancer just because I don’t like the person saying it, and I won’t even get vitamin d cause I gonna just stay in the sun in August, to get a tan, and nothing else the rest of the year. I get sick and die.
