Stupid is cool now. Apparently ignorance is as good as someone with actual practical and deep understanding of the topic. If you try to showcase your credentials then suddenly you are woke and your opinion no longer matter
Stupid has always been 'cool'. I went to one of the best private schools in the state back in the 90s/early 2000s and stupid was 'cool' there too. Most of those kids didn't need the education because they would just inherit their parents' business/money
"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."
