Will the world ever stop being anti-intellectual?

ThePenitentOne@discuss.online to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 465 points –

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.

It's not. We'd still be hitting rocks if we were anti intellectual.

what a brain-dead response. Did you give it a second's thought?

Wow what a useless and toxic response that says absolutely nothing. Making hexbear look really good!

Oh I'm sorry, you misunderstood. I'm not here adverting hexbear, because I don't give a shit what you think about my platform. I'm making fun of you for having dogshit opinions.

I don't think there are only 2 outcomes. I asked a question regarding a potential of one absolute outcome.

Where is the question? You presumed an absolute outcome and now expect everyone else to go along with it, nodding sagely to your smug presumption. smuglord
