Anti-Intellectualism is Destroying America

I looked for a TED talk about my subject, but I couldn't find anything. But I did find the next big thing, a more rantish opinionated voice on Anti-Intellectualism.

      Here, a rant by Papantonio, co-host of the Ring of Fire Radio Station, and prominent Trial Lawyer, goes deeper on the ramifications that anti-intellectualism is causing. Like Jacoby, its a modern look on Anti-Intellectualism and is more or less a backing of what Jacoby says about a lack of critical thinking being taught, and people in general having a lack of interest in reading. (Whether reading or not is any implication between being stupid or smart is different can of worms entirely). As Papantanio puts it, and Mr Tobin in my interview said, its the work of higher media execs using their power to spread influence, which is the main cause for, essentially, making people dumber. And not, an infatuation and obsession with athleticism. It is the loss of being taught how to critically think, that is the main culprit of anti-intellectualism in America

MIND. BLOWN.
