Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’ – Isaac Asimov
Anti-intellectualism Is Our Fight
Asimov’s quote is pulled from a January 21, 1980 piece in Newsweek magazine.
A large part of our goal at 365DaysOfFacts.com is that there is objective “truth.” Opinions have their place, but they can not supplant objective truths no matter how much we want them to do so.
We hope you will find the biographies, moments of history, and other facts we share to be useful in fightingthe world of opinion alone.
