Why is there a culture of hating intellectualism in this country? This new kid at work, who works quite fine to me, was being made fun of today because of his afro, and because he's a very smart person and needs things explained thoroughly so he does a good job. I recognized this because they said the same thing about me. They even compared me to him! The only thing is, I know how to counter their crap...but it's mostly in fun, and not hostility. I just find it ignorant though.
Why are there so many idiots in this country that hate education? Why is it I find that most smart people are ostracized and unfairly branded weirdos, socially-inept, lacking in common sense and even...my word, psychos?
The worst part is watching these stupid people mock and laugh smart people as they wallow in their ignorance and dead-end lives!
What is wrong with people in this country? Are they fiddling as Rome burns?
