A Cult of Ignorance

January 21, 1980

Isaac Asimov warns against a growing “cult of ignorance” in American society, where anti-intellectualism thrives and people wrongly believe their uninformed opinions hold equal weight to expert knowledge. He argues this dangerous trend undermines education, reason, and the very foundation of democracy by dismissing science and informed discourse.
