None of those things, of course. In fact, one might well suppose that the popular feeling is that Americans are a lot better off without any of that tripe.

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

⇒もちろん、そんなものは何も要らないのだ。事実、アメリカ人は、そんなガラクタは何一つなくても十分快調に過ごせる、と思うのももっともなことである。

⇒アメリカ合衆国には、無知を崇拝する面が常にあったし、今もある。反知性主義の気質が、我々の政治活動や文化生活の中で連綿と続いてきたのだ。そして、「私の無知は、あなたの知識と同じくらい正当なものだ」といったことを認める、それこそが民主主義というものだ、というような間違った考え方によってそれが助長されてきたのである。
