It won’t solve the problems; but it is nice at least to have some thoughts on why the world is in the condition that it is.

Today’s quotes come from two American authors who need no introduction:

“All war is a symptom of man’s failure as a thinking animal.”

– John Steinbeck

And this rather patronizing put-down:

“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

Whether you agree or not, it is food for thought. And thinking is always a good thing.

As for the anti-intellectuals, well . . .

Just sayin’ . . .
