Anti-Intellectualism Is Killing America

psychologytoday.com/us/blog/ou

Social dysfunction can be traced to the abandonment of reason.

Key Points
* Ignorance, or an aversion to reason, has allowed things like gun violence and racism to define American culture.
* Anti-intellectual societies fall prey to tribalism and simplistic explanations, are emotionally immature, and often seek violent solutions.
* Corporate interests encourage anti-intellectualism, conditioning Americans into conformity and passive acceptance of institutional dominance.

Just because we live in a small country in a remote corner of the world doesn't mean we won't be affected by this. You just have to look at how much the rapid rise of misinformation has already changed our social fabric for the worse in a very short time i.e. three years. Be ready!

@Davidtoddmccarty For years I thought that a parliamentary form of government was superior. However, now I’m not so sure. In more than a few instances it has proven to be just as dysfunctional as the American system. It may simply be the case that contemporary modes of social manipulation, system gaming, etc. guarantee that no form of government can truly be held accountable to the people.
