Anti intellectualism has a root cause.

Intellectuals have led us to credit crisis. But "Nobody saw it coming!" Is not a response. Remember that statement?

Intellectuals have led us to forever wars everywhere.

Intellectuals have overseen the collapse of the family unit in the last 70 years

Intellectuals old us in the 90s that the polar caps would melt in....2020

Intellectuals have led us to a permanent underclass of people in cities like detroit, chicago, NY and Philadelphia.

I'd say that's enough. People have a right to call out the bullshit.

Because most of what intellectuals say is bullshit.

Human knowledge is limited. intellectuals have failed to exercise basic humility.

The bill is now due and those institutions need to dissappear (unis, newspapers etc) so something new can rise.
