One of the culture shocks moving to the US after a life in Japan was coming face to face with this culture of ignorance, day after day. So many Americans are aggressively ignorant. Isaac Asimov, in an interview in the 1980s, said: 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. huffingtonpost/john-w-traphagan/america-ignorance-asia-intelligence_b_5505032.html
