If there& #39;s one thing I learned in the past four years, it& #39;s that being anti-intellectual is a toxic Filipino habit/trait.
Antiporda isn& #39;t even the first official who dumbed down science and insulted scientists. Remember Villar& #39;s research snub?
The anti-intellectual rhetoric has also made its way into mainstream language. "E & #39;di ikaw na matalino" and "Ang dami mong alam" have made their way into Filipinos& #39; list of insults.
Where is that disdain/anger coming from? Is it because education has become a privilege instead of a right? Has this mindset been there all this time?
