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 (1980)

All the nothing Tyler knows in one place!

@manton While not contained to the US, Americans do have a wonderful [sic] talent for ignoring the ugliness festering around us. Racism. Homelessness. Poverty. Hunger. Violence. Mental health. Crapitalism. Crime. The list is endless. We see it and just keep going, either because we find it annoying or we feel powerless to fix it. Xitter is simply one of the most blatant examples of this, unfortunately.
