Are We a Society of Stupid? 0
My two or three regular readers know that I use “we are a society of stupid” as a tagline on posts regarding especially moronic and vile behavior.
And really, just look around.
At Psychology Today Blogs, though, David Niose suggests otherwise, arguing that “(a)nti-intellectualism has little to do with intelligence.”
Frankly, I think he draws a false dichotomy. Being smart in one area (say, math or real estate or computer coding) does not cancel out being stupid an another (say, governance or ethics or charity).
Intelligence ipso facto values the intellectual. Look the word up, for Pete’s sake. But follow the link and see what you think.
