There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of 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.’
When stupid people think their opinions are as good as opinions from experts, the world edges closer to extinction.
- Isaac Asimov
