I completely agree with your analysis of the rise of anti-intellectualism and its negative impact on society! It's disheartening to see the devaluation and mistrust of intellect, education, and expertise, especially in a world that desperately needs evidence-based solutions to complex problems. While it's important to make education and intellectual pursuits more accessible and inclusive, dismissing academia and promoting ignorance is not the answer. We need to prioritize critical thinking, evidence-based reasoning, and respect for expertise in order to make informed decisions and create a better future for all. Ultimately, I really enjoyed reading your piece!
Yes exactly! And I think we ARE getting there. I have hope that education, will become not only more accessible but we’ll encourage other intellectual pursuits.
