There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always 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, “A Cult of Ignorance,” Newsweek magazine 1980
