This anti-intellectualism has, unfortunately, a long history in the United States. Yes! The history being that intellectualism is often misidentified as a lack of true knowledge spoken with a loud voice.

To the European style intellectuals, intellectualism is sitting at a table in a sidewalk cafe in Paris while the world comes tumbling down around your ears and discussing the quality of the display.

One man who knows how to use a hammer is worth 1000 men who know how to talk about one.

Shalom.
