We are fundamentally at a loss here because of the dynamics of propaganda. Simply put more money is spent misinforming than informing and since this will always be the case due the the powerful incentives of population control, there will always be some degree of idiocracy happening. Short of probably redistributing all resources equally and eliminating the money and economic system we have that lead to these incentive structures.
- lolinder 2y agoI'm pretty immersed in the anti-intellectual movement just by virtue of where I live, and while I won't deny that there's some room for propaganda in the explanation, the bulk of the cause is simple: The average American has correctly identified that intellectuals despise them. That's it. Propaganda is a useful scapegoat, but the actual problem is that the average American has caught on to the sneers and derision and doesn't like being treated that way. Redistributing resources won't help because those plans are always put forward from a place of condescension towards the less educated, and the condescension is the problem!
