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.'

Posting about BINI, a pop group from the Philippines, and clicking on the tag #TurkishCelebrities reminded me of my ignorance of vast areas of the world and its diverse peoples.
I try my best not to be a blinkered Anglo, whilst also recognizing that I can never hope to have much more than a fragmentary and superficial understanding of the histories of most of the planet's inhabitants. For deeper insights, I am dependent on experts and informants with firsthand knowledge and experience.
I hope it doesn't sound too smug if I say that at least I am aware of my ignorance.
What frightens me is that the most powerful man on earth is not only ignorant, but also unaware of the depth of his ignorance and, insofar as he is aware of his ignorance, resistant to remedying that ignorance to any degree by careful reading of briefings, thoughtful discussion with experts, or - can you imagine it? -- opening a book.
Ultimately, my ignorance is of little consequence one way or the other. His ignorance could, quite literally, be the end of the world.

In this cloistered vision of tech-driven learning, they believe that deep intellectual work—the kind you do when you author a complex piece of music, for example—has little or no inherent value. Their disdain for it has fueled their attacks on higher education, the humanities, and learning for its own sake, which they believe has no purpose beyond its inevitable digitization and monetization."

"As the historian Richard Hofstadter noted, a fierce anti-intellectual spirit has long animated American culture, but it has typically targeted the knowledge elite from below. What’s striking about today’s brand of anti-intellectualism is that it infuses the American knowledge elite; it stems from the bedrock conviction among tech oligarchs that they have mastered everything and have nothing left to learn."

The ultimate goal for much of the human species, is to never have to think about anything ever.
Some even create entire cultures/narratives to support and glorify this belief. I've seen myself, over and over again, the sheer desperation and madness that grips people trying to achieve this goal.
The abuse of #AI is just the latest and most convincing crutch of the global #antiintellectualism movement.

Instagram story rants…
Anti-Intellectualism: Clinging to "lack of privilege" and "lack of exposure to the arts" as a reason to, uh, [checks notes]… Rabidly insult anyone lucky enough (through dumb chance and no thanks to my actual life circumstances, I assure you) to HAVE that privilege and exposure? Not helping your cause, sweetie. If not everyone can fit at the table, you build a bigger table. You don't destroy the table altogether in a fit of spite.
+++
Not sure how saying "there are $10 opera tix available" got to me being told to "take my meds and control my emotions," but… there you go. I guess if some people can't have nice things, then NOBODY should have nice things, instead of making nice things more accessible. And THAT is anti-intellectualism. HOW DARE YOU HAVE READ A BOOK. SOME PEOPLE CAN'T READ AT ALL. SHUT THE LIBRARIES DOWN. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF FOR NOT KEEPING YOURSELF IGNORANT AND EQUAL WITH THE LEAST OF THESE. NO ONE SHOULD RISE ABOVE THE LOWEST BAR.
+++
Ah yes, the "cultural privilege" of being raised fundamentalist Christian so classical music was one of the few genres I was ALLOWED to explore. My bad.
