“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
- Isaac Asimov
Since the Palin campaign of 2008, though, many of our “conservatives” have begun to insist that ignorance is actually superior to knowledge, with predictable results.
>cult of anti intellectualism He means self reliance and anti authoritarianism Which some times means "anti intellectualism" And seeing how intellectuals get their stuff wrong a lot is probably a good idea >social engineering was great for society Yikes
Elijah Jenkins
Yes it's a good thing we ignorant cult members have traditions to CONSERVE which help guide us ethically and morally >pic related Otherwise we'd be like the liberal ignorant cult members who are always lost because they do not CONSERVE
>this criticism applies only to people who don't agree with me
William Moore
>Asimov's parents were Anna Rachel (née Berman) and Judah Asimov, a family of Jewish millers. He was named Isaac after his mother's father, Isaac Berman. When he was born, his family lived in Petrovichi near Klimovichi, which was then Gomel Governorate in the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (now Smolensk Oblast, Russia). Asimov wrote of his father, "My father, for all his education as an Orthodox Jew, was not Orthodox in his heart"
hit me up when the pal version is made i'll buy one

>City people all voted for Hillary. Proving themselves to be absolutely amoral idiots with no clue about who they were voting for or what she supported.
>Since the Palin campaign of 2008, though, many of our “conservatives” have begun to insist that ignorance is actually superior to knowledge, with predictable results. While Democrats assert that they are intellectuals and so can say anything with it having value as an empirical truth, while in reality having the capacity for infinitely more ignorance.
Benjamin Reed
Quoting a jew, who was probably angry that he saw resistance to total slavery to Israel.
Aaron Foster
True but since he was a Jew he has benefited from this ignorance. How many Americans are Christian Zionists?
Caleb Sullivan
Everyone has always labeled their enemy as "antiintellectual". It's akin to saying "you're a big dumb stupidhead".
Cooper Nguyen
There was no "Palin campaign" in 2008 you ignorant jackass.

it's an insult only those who fancy themselves to be intellectuals use, intellectuals here actually meaning "correct and good". i am correct and good, therefore i must be an intellectual. anyone who opposes me is incorrect and bad, they must be anti-intellectuals if they won't listen to (my) reason

>ignorance is actually superior to knowledge That's got a certain Jewish logic to it.
Idiocracy but the twist is it's actually happening
Jose Phillips
Booo hoo people don't want carbon taxing and leftist policies.

>anti-intellectualism To the left this means "if you disagree with me then you're anti-intellectual, because we are the party of intellectuals". Nothing more than an implicit appeal to authority. Which is hillarious, since amy real intellectual will know what a logical fallacy is.
This. Even made up sciences to back their claims. In college Sociology I made an "A" without ever owning the book or studying. I just picked the most liberal thing on every question. The whole class boiled down to white men are evil unless gay. All others are always good.
well where is it god dammit, this dick isnt gonna jerk itself off

>Isaac Asimov >After Asimov's name appeared in the mid-1960s on a list of people the Communist Party USA "considered amenable" to its goals, the FBI investigated him. Because of his academic background, the bureau briefly considered Asimov as a possible candidate for known Soviet spy ROBPROF, but found nothing suspicious in his life or background >Though from a Jewish family, Asimov appeared to hold an equivocal attitude towards Israel. In his first autobiography, he indicates his support for the safety of Israel, though insisting that he was not a Zionist. In his third autobiography, Asimov stated his opposition to the creation of a Jewish state, on the grounds that he was opposed to the concept of nation-states in general, and supported the notion of a single humanity. Asimov especially worried about the safety of Israel given that it has been created among hostile neighbours, and that Jews have merely created for themselves another "Jewish ghetto".
You’re talking about yourself too. Niggers can NEVER be equal to white men. It’s like saying a cardinal is equal to an eagle.
Jaxon Bailey
GOOD I fucking hate academics and intellectuals for never letting me join them
Zachary Miller
The people screaming they're the smartest and most virtuous are always to be feared the most. I was an atheist, then a socialist as a teen until I took the time to actually study all sides. I took those positions because people said it constantly in a way that maybe I'd like to too. Be wary of those calling themselves 'stupid', 'imperfect' or 'only human' constantly too for months or years on end. They just want an excuse. The left is just mostly full of opiates for a degenerate mass of self-righteous shallow people who follow blindly the received wisdom of a talking head idol. I dislike it when I see it on the right too, but its just not as much.
Levi Young
Intellectuals are mostly specialized types that should stay in their own lane. Take Chomsky for example. Stick to linguistics.
