It saddens me greatly that this type of exchange between these
two seemingly decent people is so mainstream:
Because an education in general (and science in
particular) is akin to atheism; something that belongs in our colleges and
universities, where socialist/communist/fascist/liberal/progressive
(it’s-all-the-same-thing) feminist professors make their living brainwashing our
youth. What do these and other out-of touch elites know about real Americans
like you and me? Because knowing the answer to questions like “Which Church do you attend” is more
important than knowing some basic world geography and world affairs or the most
elementary science facts. Because Adam and Eve rode on dinosaurs. Because
what people wear and how they present themselves in public is much more
important than the grey matter between their two ears. Because gossiping
or knowing the answers to little tidbits like who slept with whom or what
celebrity XYorZ looked like at a particular event is much more interesting than
worrying about what goes on in the world. Who cares about the world, anyway? I
have my own problems, I don’t give a rat’s ass about anyone else’s, especially
about what is going on on the other side of the world! Because why
should I learn another foreign language? Let them learn English; after all,
they all want to come to the US anyway!
Ignorance, per se, does not bother me; there’s treatment for
that. At times I’m far from being the sharpest tool in the box, and my own
ignorance frequently embarrasses me. But what bothers me the most is all this
Hubris that surrounds and suffocates me. If that makes me an elitist, so be it.
Sad state of affairs when so many people are proud of their
ignorance.
Sometimes I feel like screaming at the top of my lungs,
“Humility is not a sign of weakness, you arrogant SOB morons!”
Thankfully, there are also an awful lot of smart and conscientious
folks. I just don’t know where to find them.
Haja paciência!
