Anti-intellectualism in american culture: the pride of ignorance

anti-intellectualism is not only tolerated but celebrated in parts of American society. Charles P. Pierce: The leaders of Idiot America are those people who abandoned their obligations to the above. There are lots of people making an awful lot of money selling their ideas and their wares to Idiot America. Idiot America is an act of collective will, a product of lassitude and sloth. Question: What is the difference between stupidity and glorifying ignorance? Charles P. Pierce: Stupidity is as stupidity does, to quote a uniquely stupid movie. It has been with us always and always will be. But we moved into an era in which stupidity was celebrated if it managed to sell itself well, if it succeeded, if it made people money. That is "glorifying ignorance." We moved into an era in which the reflexive instincts of the Gut were celebrated at the expense of reasoned, informed opinion. To this day, we have a political party—the Republicans—who, because it embraced a "movement of Conservatism" that celebrated anti-intellectualism is now incapable of conducting itself in any other way. That has profound political and cultural consequences, and the truly foul part about it was that so many people engaged in it knowing full well they were peddling poison. The Culture Wars Are Over and the Idiots Have WonA veteran journalist's acidically funny, righteously angry lament about the glorification of ignorance in the United States.In the midst of a career-long quest to separate the smart ...

Sartre on intellectualism

Jean-Paul Sartre, was a French existentialist philosopher, playwright, novelist, screenwriter, political activist, biographer, and literary critic. He was one of the leading figures in 20th century French philosophy. In this clip, Sartre discusses the characteristics of a "classic intellectual" and its relationship to Hegel's notion of the "unhappy conscience." Sartre believes that the classic intellectual accepts the concepts within himself as given, and applies his universal knowledge to particular instances for practical benefit.

Anti-intellectualism is not biblical. (spurgeon/kielar)

"...grow in the grace and in the KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." (2Peter 3:18) Whether it is people comparing the God of the Bible with the "Flying Spaghetti Monster" and using the caricature derived thereof as an explanation for dismissing God, or 500 people at a time coming forward in an altar call to "give their lives to Christ" after they've been moved by a song or the desire to please their fellow men, there is indeed an anti-intellectualism permeating the land. Though the name "Christianity" has been tarnished over the years by such likes as the televangelists, Roman Catholics, and now the Purpose Driven/"Seeker-sensitive" movement, true Christianity has and always will be based on believing true facts that are obtained by knowledge. Someone can not believe in what they have not heard, and how can they hear without a preacher (someone sharing the news)? (Rom 10:14) This short clip shows that faith is a logical, rational trust that is based on legitimate facts from history. It is not how many in the modern Church derive it today. One of the most refreshing and comforting things I learned when the Lord in His grace started drawing me is the fact that I was not an atheist because I wanted to protect my intellect from foolishness. Growing up in an Arminian based Southern Baptist Church, the intellect just seemed to be frowned upon by many, but thankfully, not all. Years later, though, I realized I cannot live without an intellect. Many in the modern ...

Firefighters trained to spy ! anti - intellectualism !!! do the devils work by homeland security !!!

The glorious Virgin's words explaining her humility to her daughter, and about how humility is likened to a cloak, and about the characteristics of true humility and its wonderful fruits. Book 2 - Chapter 23 SAINT BRIDGET PATRON SAINT OF EUROPE FINAL PART Because the body has feeling, it would fain feel its own pleasure and physical rest. What does this resemble if not hail that is frozen from impure waters and that renders the soul unfruitful in the spiritual life, strong as regards worldly pursuits and soft as regards physical comforts? Therefore, if a person wants protection from this cloud, let him run for safety to my humility and imitate it. Through it, he is protected from the passion for seeing and does not desire illicit things; he is protected from the pleasure of hearing and does not listen to anything that goes against the truth; he is protected from the lust of the flesh and does not succumb to illicit impulses. I assure you: The contemplation of my humility is like a good cloak that warms those wearing it; I mean those who not only wear it in theory but also in practice. A physical cloak does not give any warmth unless it is worn. Likewise, my humility does no good to those who just think about it, unless each one strives to imitate it, each in his own way. Therefore, my daughter, don the cloak of humility with all your strength, since worldly women wear cloaks that are a proud thing on the outside but are of little use on the inside. Avoid such garments ...

A wonderful säuberung of judaic intellectualism

The era of extreme Jewish intellectualism is now at an end. The breakthrough of the German revolution has again cleared the way on the German path...The future German man will not just be a man of books, but a man of character. It is to this end that we want to educate you. As a young person, to already have the courage to face the pitiless glare, to overcome the fear of death, and to regain respect for death - this is the task of this young generation. And thus you do well in this midnight hour to commit to the flames the evil spirit of the past. This is a strong, great and symbolic deed - a deed which should document the following for the world to know - Here the intellectual foundation of the November Republic is sinking to the ground, but from this wreckage the phoenix of a new spirit will triumphantly rise. — Joseph Goebbels , Speech to the students in Berlin

Rivalries and anti-intellectualism

Sometimes I dislike my school. In the words of John Green: "Saying I notice you're a nerd is like saying, "Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan.
