One of the most aggravating things to me in this world has to be the absolutely rampant anti-intellectualism that dominates so many conversations and debates, and its influence just seems to be expanding. Do you think there will ever actually be a time when this ends? I'd hope so once people become more educated and cultural changes eventually happen, but as of now it honestly infuriates me like few things ever have.

    Memorizing/knowing things has nothing to do with being smart. Would you call an encyclopedia “smart”? Conversely, you can be both ignorant and smart.
