• Book Review--The Age of American Unreason

12 November 2008, by I am always interested in books purporting to tell me why and how we have lost our way, because I happen to agree with that sentiment. Since Ronald Reagan took office, we have been led down a path of ignorance and foolishness, with monumentally negative ramifications that we are seeing come home to roost in our crashing economy and plummeting international standing. The causes for our willingness to continue traveling this self-destructive path are seemingly long established and deep-rooted in m

• The Age of American Unreason

12 November 2008, by The Age of American Unreason Combining historical analysis with contemporary observation, Susan Jacoby dissects a new American cultural phenomenon–one that is at odds with our heritage of Enlightenment reason and with modern, secular knowledge and science. With mordant wit, she surveys an anti-rationalist landscape extending from pop culture to a pseudo-intellectual universe of “junk thought.” Disdain for logic and evidence defines a pervasive malaise fostered by the mass media, triumpha

5 November 2008, by US, MORONS AND POLITICS Alternet has an article by George Monbiot entitled ‘The Triumph of Ignorance: How Morons Succeed in U.S. Politics’ ( http://www.alternet.org/story/105447/ ). He asks an interesting and very relevant – indeed an urgent – question. And answers it. Partially. But only partially. How does a country with the world’s best universities, able to attract the world’s finest minds, dominant in scientific discoveries and medicine, wealthy and powerful, yet hold “learning” to be

• Idiocracy Now: Are Americans Too Dumb to Vote?

20 October 2008, by This year, both Rick Shenkman and Susan Jacoby have written books which argue that the vast majority of Americans are either too ill-informed or just too downright stupid to be allowed within 1,000 yards of a voting booth.
