a subtle example of this is mocking "know-it-alls", adopting attitudes like education is pointless and glorifying ignorance. and in even MORE subtle ways we're being fed that propaganda with the rise of romanticized passivity on social media telling us that we don't have to think for ourselves, or being aware and intelligent makes u less feminine or fun.

WHERE DOES IT COME FROM? ;

why does society have this weird attitude? the answer is super complex cuz theres a lot of different answers. there are ofc cultural trends that we see on social media and television. theres also gendered pressure like girls being encouraged to dim their intelligence or not pursue higher education/career opportunities bcuz they should focus on more "important" things like building families and having children. then there are also historical aspects like power structures and a fear of educated people questioning and challenging authority.

WHY HOTTIES STAY IN SCHOOL ;

now that we've done a little DEEP dive on anti-intellectualism im now going to talk about the BENEFITS of being educated and staying curious. first and foremost ur knowledge is something that no one can take away from you, that gives such a sense of confidence when u know what ur talking about and when u know ur shit.

being curious and digging deeper than just the surface level answers to the questions that u have makes u a powerful thinker and utterly IRRESISTABLE. smart is sexy, period. also higher education opens more doors for you to improve ur life, it introduces u to new opportunities, friendships, business and SO much more.

THE HOT GIRL HABITS OF A LIFELONG LEARNER ;

and ofc learning is a lifelong thing, as long as you are asking questions you will learn. some things that u can do on a daily to stay informed and educated is reading books, listening to credible podcasts, studying things that catch ur interest and learning about them in depth.

asking questions, writing notes and just genuinely being INTERESTED in people and their experiences and the world around u also makes so much of a difference. embrace ur own opinions and share them proudly.

HOW TO STAY SMART IN A WORLD THAT WANTS YOU DUMB ;

PROTECT. YOUR MIND. AND. PROTECT. YOUR PEACE. don't shrink yourself to make other people comfortable. people are oftentimes intimidated by women who are smart but thats a THEM problem and not a YOU problem.

unfollow anti-intellectual content and stop engaging with it. don't debate or explain ur views and opinions to people who aren't open to having a real, engaging, OPEN minded conversation. cuz first of all its the biggest waste of ur time, and second of all ur literally setting urself up to get rage baited like no. say NO to non-productive discussion and debate no matter how tempting it may seem.
