One of the most aggravating things to me in this world has to be the absolutely rampant anti-intellectualism that dominates so many conversations and debates, and its influence just seems to be expanding.

Oh look at that, no substantive argument defending openly rejecting learning, just more viciousness and vitriol because that’s all ignorant motherfuckers like you know how to do when confronted with your own flaws. Knock me over with a feather.

I wanna focus in on this statement. Do you say hurtful things like this because maybe deep down you’re afraid that you’ll die angry, angry at things that are completely out of your control? This is a very natural fear so don’t be afraid to admit it.
