Fatal Ignorance

      Perhaps the most infuriating thing for me over the last decade is watching my country turn away from expertise and embrace ignorance as a virtue.  I'm far from the only one who has noticed, and this piece from a highly-qualified science guy and American-by-choice is so worthwhile that I'm making an exception to not using anything from their hosting site.

    Knowledge is hard work, and is humbling.
    Ignorance is easy, and you never have to be wrong.

    Of course our modern post-truth society loves the latter.
