"Cult of Ignorance" Some talk lately about a "Cult of ignorance" permeating American society is often mentioned in the blogs, and I'd have to say I agree. That ignorance can usually be found among the "pseudo-intellectuals" identifying themselves as "liberals," or "progressives." I say this because among that group, are many who put on the air and demeanor of what they perceive to be the stereotypical "intellectual", yet are simply wearing a costume that they think will gain or keep their acceptance into what they perceive to be the "in crowd". (Like Jr High students wanting to sit at the same lunch table as the cool .) By branding themselves as the "intellectual" group, liberals have long tried to claim the high road both logically and morally, but these days it is finally coming to light that they are neither. A college degree does NOT make an intellectual, but they often parade around as such, while simply acting like drones towing the party line. A real intellectual thinks independently, and included within their mental facilities is wisdom, rather than mere intellect and knowledge alone. In addition, and as a result of this capacity for wisdom, they have courage, because a greater good comes from stating the truth instead of what one wants the reality to be. Because they simply follow trends and the crowd, I submit to you, that the real "cult of ignorance" is primarily to be found among those who believe like liberals do. GBU all, Gavin |
