One of the most aggravating things to me in this world has to be the absolutely rampant anti-intellectualism that dominates so many conversations and debates, and its influence just seems to be expanding. Do you think there will ever actually be a time when this ends? I'd hope so once people become more educated and cultural changes eventually happen, but as of now it honestly infuriates me like few things ever have.
I think cultural anti-intelectualism to some extent comes from the belief that intelectuals don’t care about their interests or wellbeing. Not helped by the historic lack of accessibility of education
I think the latter is improving somewhat
