        “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always 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.” - Isaac Asimov

          I’m sorry to be the joke guy but…that was a joke. Maybe not a good one, but still a joke.

          Asimov is based though. I think my favourite short story of his is The Evitable Conflict. Still very relevant especially recently.
