What’s anti-intellectualism and why is it bad?
In: 0
It’s distrust and hostility towards intellectuals, generally manifesting as being scornful of education systems, arts, and sciences beyond things people can see and understand.
It’s bad because without knowledge, we would still be sitting in caves wiping our asses with leaves. The printed word, phones, Healthcare, planes, satellites, husbandry, electricity. All these things came from nerds who liked to study things. But people who use the products of previous intellectuals (like cars) are decrying modern intellectuals (like electric cars). This causes us to stay with our mistakes, and we stop improvement as a society
