One of the most aggravating things to me in this world has to be the absolutely rampant anti-intellectualism that dominates so many conversations and debates, and its influence just seems to be expanding. Do you think there will ever actually be a time when this ends? I'd hope so once people become more educated and cultural changes eventually happen, but as of now it honestly infuriates me like few things ever have.

    It’s not like Sweden is going to let Americans immigrate with the justification that “I’m a sad intellectual surrounded by boorish peasants.”

    It’s not? Assuming you could get yourself there, I mean.

      No country will just let in any rando. They have to want you there. There’s humanitarian programs, but largely you need to have something they want.

      That’s typically special skills (MD, PhD, athletics, etc.). Or money. Money will get you anywhere.
