What does anti-intelligence mean?
Anti-intelligence means denying the practical value of knowledge, culture and artistic food when one's ability is not enough to support rational thinking and complete logic.

Anti-intellectualism was put forward in the book Anti-intellectualism in American Life published by American historian Richard hofstadter in 1962. This book describes how anti-intellectualism runs through the whole history and practical American culture, deeply analyzes the historical origin of anti-intellectualism in the United States, and explains the contradictions between intellectuals and the public in different fields such as education, politics and business.

The essence of anti-intellectualism is to define intelligence and intellectuals in detail, and to guide the public to become a person who actively safeguards the values of reason, justice and truth.
