Is there really an anti intellectual movement? More people go to college now than when I was a youngster. The trades are pretty much retiring now. 
 

There is indeed.  If I have to teach you this, it's a problem.  Look at the anti vaxxers for just one good example.  Don't wear blinders.

I went through engineering school for electrical engineering,  doesn't mean squat as far as I'm concerned other than the fact I can do complex levels of calculus... I use absolutely zero percent of anything related to my degree in over 20 years of IT...

I have multiple family members in the healthcare careers up to including doctors who agree what the education systems have become is all driven by money and politics. It's a shame.  

And it's not a matter of me thinking I'm smarter than a doctor,  but I do believe with my bio engineering background I could of went down that path. IT pays better, cheaper education, with less stress and allot less school.  My wife feels the same way in regards to nurses and nursing schools. Anyone that has spent time in a hospital knows the nurses are the ones who run things. Im not trying to say any old dope can be a doctor, but if you don't think they turn out bad ones,  or bring in foreign ones with lower standards then not sure what to tell you.

Let’s get a couple of things straight.

1.Im not an anti Vaxxer

2. I’m not wearing blinders

3. You can’t teach me sh*t

Now lets get back to the subject. According to AL, if you go to college, you On average are at least better educated. 
Therefore since more people are going to college than ever before, I’m not agreeing with your anti intellectual comment. It’s more of an anti trust problem. People don’t trust the government or the news media anymore and are looking with a much more skeptical eye.

I think the question is should we trust the goevernment?  I for one do not.  Not that I believe all the tin foil conspiracy stuff,  but my lack of trust comes from first hand experience of them being incompetent failures over and over again... the older I get the less trust I have.

  I'll listen to doctors before I'll listen to former researchers with a proven agenda.

Well, there are at least 2 doctors that were saying what the researchers with agenda said..... before they ever said it.  One is a gynocologist, but that's still a doctor, right?

I've done business with a few doctors, a pharmacist, and a professor of some field of medical learning that were either void of any common sense.....or pretended to be dumbasses for one reason or another.    

I mean I suppose it's possible to be brilliant in pharmacology or health care and not know that leaves in a boats bilge area could clog up a bilge pump. Or that adding more gas to a tank that you are aware is contaminated with water won't help the engine run on it.

As for our freedoms being taken away...we STILL get to go to the ballot box.  We can STILL vote out anybody that appears to be responsible for taking away "freedoms".  Temporary restrictions are not necessarily a slippery slope to permanent loss of freedoms.

or it appears, to mail in our ballots, along with all of our deceased brethren in the cemetery.  Also, I still can't understand why so many are against a valid I.D. to vote.  With so many elections being decided by a few thousand votes these days............it is sort of how fishing tournaments have become.  If there is a chance to win $100, someone will probably cheat to try to win it.

My wife said I could be a poster child for the ant-intellectual movement. She said I am one of the most anti-intellectual people she has ever seen. She's so so nice!!!

Rick most of the anti-vaxxers that I know considered themselves far more educated and intellectual than most. These are people holding multiple degrees and not high school graduates.
