Isaac Asimov: "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'."
Aber Isaac #Asimov klagte auch an, dass die #Wissenschaft und der #Intellektualismus in den USA viel zu wenig Aufmerksamkeit bekommt. Kultur und Politik seien voll davon. Denken ist ja so anstrengend!
