  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

  Everyone keeps expecting other people to have hidden wisdom. Except the actually smart people that tell you big scary words that are actually true.

  People trust famous people and AI and marketers way more than scientists. Fucking tobacco and oil industries fucked things real bad, and things are not improving.
