I'm a geek, I'm not anti-intellectual however I am anti-BS, whether it is the above statement or whether it is any of the intellectually bankrupt -isms, Marxism, Fascism etc or religious dogma that goes against all the evidence for evolution or other scientifically validated theories. All of which have been promoted as being "intellectual", Fascism was famously promoted at Harvard before WWII, Marxism has been promoted at innumerable universities and now we have creationism attempting to be "intellectual" via the idea that there is a "controversy" that pits it along side the theory of evolution in terms of being able to explain how we as a species came to be the way we are. I'm also anti-prophet, that is I do not believe that there is any human being that has all the answers to all questions. Experts to me are useful as long as they are not experts in the domains of BS.
Now that is anti-intellectual, see-
Semitic is a Language Group, Not a Race or Ethnic Group
