What is anti-intellectualism? What are some of its manifestations? What should we think about it? (Don't copy the definition directly from, I want a personal understanding of it)

Curiosity makes people studious, and where there is curiosity there are those who seek to stifle it in others.

In this way, anti-intellectualism seems to be this type of curiosity-killing activity.

As for what to make of it? There's a tradition that says reading makes you smart and TV and games make you stupid.

If this claim has been borne out, then the degradation of the human brain, which has been accelerated by the great development of household appliances, electronics and communication devices, constitutes the material vehicle for anti-intellectualism, which is practiced to varying degrees in one way or another by all those who participate in it, including the corporate moguls, the factory workers, the media world, and all the viewers.
