Anti-intellectualism, also known as anti-intellectualism or anti-intellectualism, is an attitude that exists in culture or thought, not a set of ideological theories.

Anti-intellectualism can be divided into two categories:

1 is an objection or doubt about intelligence and knowledge, which is considered harmful to life.

2. It is suspicion and contempt for intellectuals.

The concrete embodiment of anti-intellectualism:

1, social and cultural performances

It is generally believed that people with high IQ have arrogant mentality, so they are disgusted with such people. The behavior of people with high IQ is often misunderstood as arrogance.

2. Perception and communication problems

Because of the different ways of thinking and efficiency, different conclusions and behaviors are produced, which leads to poor communication and other problems.

3. Political incarnation

The behavior of elites is divorced from public opinion or facts, or peddles wrong theories in a professional image, causing ridicule or resistance from the public and even elites. As Emerson said, "the heart of this country was cultivated by low aspirations and ate itself."

4. Educational embodiment

Oppose children to learn ivory tower knowledge with no practical value. For example, the "reading uselessness" widely circulated in China.

There is "abandoning wisdom" in Tao Te Ching, feudal rule adopts stereotyped writing as an official, and women are "virtuous without talent" ... China culture is also full of "anti-wisdom".
