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.

    The lack of knowledge (especially true knowledge) and lesser ability to understand complex ideas are major aspects of that perspective.

    Can you prove this?

      The mark of an intellectual! Making bold statements without evidence then suppressing any discussion of that lack of evidence.

      Gee I wonder why anti-intellectualism exists?

        Bruh. Bold?

        I don’t know why I’m dignifying this with a response.

          Yeah you basically claimed that anti-intellectualism is based on stupidity. Do you have any evidence of that?

          The answer is obviously no, or you’d be producing it
