ANTI-INTELLECTUALISM IN AMERICA

So I think that the reason we are like this is because of the environment. People are afraid of failure so they don't even want to try to do their best and others don't want to stand out so they don't want to show that they are smart. I think it is about how people want to belong and don't want to stand out because that would mean you are different and then people would not like you, it's kinda like a mod mentality you know. I do think that we became a society in which Bradbury feared, but I believe that we can always change so yeah there's that.
