Hence it being a cultural trend.I remember such backward thinking from the 50s.
Hofstadter argued that both anti-intellectualism and utilitarianism were consequences, in part, of the democratization of knowledge. Moreover, he saw these themes as historically embedded in America's national fabric, an outcome of its colonial European and evangelical Protestant heritage. He contended that American Protestantism's anti-intellectual tradition valued the spirit over intellectual rigour.[1] He also noted that Catholicism could have been expected to add a distinctive leaven to the intellectual dialogue, but American Catholicism lacked intellectual culture, due to its failure to develop an intellectual tradition or produce its own strong class of intellectuals.
I wouldn't worry that it's getting worse.
I didn't know the school system was that old.You think we didn't have mouth breathers who dissed "pointy headed intellectuals",
"ivory tower professors", "bookworms", "Poindexters", "nerds", "absent minded
professors", & "brainiacs" long before today? Don't forget that when I was in
public elementary school, teachers led us in prayer & read us Bible stories.
It's ancient.I didn't know the school system was that old.
Which is sorely lacking behind the rest of the world. Even Ireland has basically curb stomped Catholicism and significantly and likely irreparably weakened that connection (even overtaking America in trans rights before Trump went backwards on the topic)I wouldn't worry that it's getting worse.
Aside from the problem of how to measure change, think of
positive changes....more atheists, social progress, & more atheists.
YES! Yes and yes and yes! That is exactly what I think. And it is exactly what the medical profession thinks...and they've had a bit more training and experience than I have.
Look, as of now, the US is accumulating more than 65,000 new cases A DAY. You next door neighbour, Canada, is under 200! Why is that? Canada is trying to behave as if it is one community, trying to overcome a problem, and trying to do it together. Everywhere I go in Toronto (north America's 4th largest city), people are wearing masks and social distancing. We drink out doors, and we don't drink with people who are not in a carefully chosen, and promise-bound, social bubble. My bubble consists of 7 people, and nobody else gets in it.
Yeah, it's a pain! Yeah, we want to party again. But we all want to be alive to party together -- so we've decide that we can wait, just a little while.
Ireland...legalizing abortion only in 2018, but not effective til last year.Which is sorely lacking behind the rest of the world.

What about other illnesses?
Social distancing, masks, etc could help with those. Just because we can treat it doesn't mean we can't prevent it from happening if we knew other coronaviruses will react and disappear to the same treatment prevention as we have for this virus.
Every country has different factors that help with treating symptoms of COVID. I just find it unrealistic to assume there would be a cure just because we relieve the symptoms. The virus will still be around. Maybe we just put too much faith in science as a general means of solving problems without considering the variables that differ from country to country that helps success.
A lot of times I just think "they" tell the public what they want to hear until they resolve the real problem as not to frighten the public.
Yes. It was recent. But they got the ball rolling. In America abortio. Rights were granted favor by 1 vote. Amd the next election could change that vote.Ireland...legalizing abortion only in 2018, but not effective til last year.
We gots them potato eat'n boozers beat!
Some are better at it than others.
But when a a fellow conspiracy theorist dies of the hoax,
this will resonate with their fellows.
I'll wager you are not as ancient as you are trying to get me to believe. Sure, in rabbit years maybe, but not, I think, in human years.It's ancient.
Are you sure?I won't believe it until after I'm dead.
The situation kind of reminds me of the movie, "Boy in the Bubble".
Some people can only take so much restriction and isolation and eventually, for those so inclined, it gets to that point where you just have to take the chance and step outside and face the fear no matter what happens, or simply stay in that bubble forever.
Challenging now the crashed flat-earther for this year's Darwin Award.The title of the link says it all....
'I thought this was a hoax': Patient in their 30s dies after attending 'COVID party'
Did he crash? Im not surprised, but if it happened I missed the news.Challenging now the crashed flat-earther for this year's Darwin Award.
