  1. “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has 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, News Week, 1980. Actually to be fair that concept/idea holds for every other tribe, village, state, nation and empire in history. So I have this generalized update. “There is a cult of ignorance within humanity, and there always has 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 ignorance is just as good as knowledge.” And yeah I am a big fan of Isaacs work. When he left the world I think we lost one of the truly great minds of this era.
