American Unreason
According to the Times review, Jacboy notes that “anti-intellectualism (the attitude that “too much learning can be a dangerous thing”) and anti-rationalism (“the idea that there is no such things as evidence or fact, just opinion”) have fused in a particularly insidious way.” A scary combination indeed… I would argue – based on my impressions from the documentary – that this fusion has been propagated and encouraged by evangelicals, including, of course, the US president.
And I would agree with you, wholeheartedly.
