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.
You forgot laziness. Intellectualism is difficult, and letting your emotions do your thinking is super easy. Then there’s the greed, or more accurately the greedy, who will use anti-intellectualism to get what they want from others, be it money, power, or something else.
