Anti-Intellectualism
What is it? Well, in laymen terms, its the belief that my ignorance is just as good as your factual knowledge (-Issac Asimov). That I have the right to talk about a subject and publicize it as factual even if I've never even done research, or critically thought about what I'm discussing. It is a dangerous precedent because it puts science, factual information and intellect at war against the stupidity of the masses and degenerates who would rather swallow everything they've been told; and then argue about how they're the ones who are "right."
Exactly.
I went out to search a question of, how does Anti-Intellectualism affect America on an Intellectual and Educational Level? How exactly does it make people "stupid?" Cause I'll be frank, I despise willfull ignorance, but even so, I was curious as how exactly has this trend of stupidity started from.

I like this image, I kinda reminds me of when my group and I worked on the fallacies project together. One of the fallacies we worked on was discussing how people use statistics to sound better. It's just like someone saying, "Now I'll just throw some statistics in there, and my paper will sound more intelligent". It doesn't even have to make since, as long as there are statistics, people automatically think its true. I don't know if that sounds similar to you, but it kind of does to me. Anyways, great blog! :)
