  1. #MissKitty can handle ambiguity like a mofo! Isaac #Asimov genius extraordinaire was so far past what most people can even get with now back then that experts say ridiculous things in contradiction to what he laid down. He is the #OG #expert for #robots and #AI. The Three Laws of Robotics. πŸ”¦πŸ”¦πŸ”¦

    A CULT OF IGNORANCE
    ISAAC ASIMOV/MY TURN

    It’s hard to quarrel with that ancient justification of the free press: β€œAmerica’s right to know.” It seems almost cruel to ask, ingenuously, β€œAmerica’s right to know what, please? Science? Mathematics? Economics? Foreign languages?”

    None of those things, of course. In fact, one might well suppose that the popular feeling is that Americans are a lot better off without any of that tripe.

    There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has 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 β€œmy ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

    Apropos to illiteracy in America, the late great Isaac Asimov's essay A Cult of Ignorance is worth reading! It's the source of the famous quote that

    There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has 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."
