The crisis of journalism is also present in education. The anti-intellectualist culture.
Dumb people are easier to manipulate than smart people. It has been years of anti-intellectualist culture.
The anti-intellectualist culture is finally reaping what it sow.
So suddenly no brainer thoughts become a major discovery because intellectuals have been exiled for being "geeks" and "nerds".
* The word "intelligence" is about being smart, but in the anti-intellectualist culture it is military information.
* The word "Intellectuals" in anti-intellectualist culture describes entitled people who propagate ideas on how to efficiently dumb down people by changing the meaning of words.
* Data and information are sought as more relevant for decision making than knowledge, experience and wisdom
* The word "expert" and "consultant" refers to entitled people who are hired to tell top management what could be learned by talking to front desk employees. Many people do not understand the difference between knowledge and experience.
* Thinking is difficult. This is why most people judge. And the anti-intellectualist culture judges people a lot.
instead of remarking all these tiny nuances that result of anti-intellectualist culture, you better try to end anti-intellectualist culture. Anti-intellectualist culture is the cult that worships the dumb.
The whole idea of "conspiracy theory" paired with anti-intellectualist culture and censorship implies that "you are dumb and we protect you from conspiracy theories that could harm you".
Anti-intellectual culture really needs censorship and doctrine to guide people because for years they did not develop the intelect to protect themselves. Questioning doctrine and censorship leads to nowhere. You either have anti-intellectual culture or you don't.
Questioning the nuances of anti-intellectual culture does not abolish the need to protect dumb people.
