tittypete 's review for:
Anti-Intellectualism in American Life
by Richard Hofstadter
Listened to this one while playing Borderlands 3. Evangelicals are anti-reason because if you think critically, you can easily poke all kinds of holes in their doctrines. Also a lot of resentment came out of the braintrust that thought up the New Deal. America has a self-made man mythos that it reveres and this flies in the face of genius, learnedness or expertise. Farmers didn’t like smart guys trying to figure out better ways to farm. Schools meant taxes. Schools meant kids learning stuff that wouldn’t help them work or farm. Then the author yammers on for 5 hours about educational theory.
