  3. That's it, exactly. Anyone can learn anything: long as they start where their current knowledge is, and figure out how to connect that to what they want to learn. But they do need to admit they don't know something. And that's very hard for some people. Thinking and reading is very time consuming. So if you want to take the easy way, just believe what you pretend to know.

  4. Anti-intellectualism goes back to the pioneers in this country. We've always had people living in cities, where there was a college, and people living as far away from society as possible. Even the first English translation of the Bible wasn't in the U.S. until 1782. There were still intelligent people, back then, of course. But it was very easy to not be intelligent. It's still very easy to not read, study, practice critical thinking.
