anti-intellectualism

When the president gets his primary information from talking heads on cable TV rather than intelligence briefings, we have a problem.

Nowhere is anti-intellectualism more warmly incubated or does misinformation spread faster than in the online community, which is why Facebook – the third most-visited website in the world – has such a weighty responsibility.rn

One of the lesser-discussed but potentially most disastrous appointments is in education: Betsy DeVos. Her anti-intellectual agenda would take root in the nation’s youngest minds, filtering down through descendant generations. 

Only two things will change the minds of science skeptics: appeals to their ego, or their wallets.
