No, I don’t respect your ignorance. Ignorance is never something to be proud of. Issac Asimov said it best. “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of 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.”
