ANTI-INTELLECTUALISM IN AMERICA

Slowing down and thinking does bring conflict. I say this because many times when we aren't distracted by something we tend to start thinking about random stuff and sometimes we could start thinking more intensely. Like thinking about what others think of us or things that we can't control which makes us upset. A lot of the times we tend to overthink situations that in reality aren't a big deal but somehow our brain picks up on something negative that could or didn't happen and we concentrate on that one thing.
I believe that many people don't think that intelligence is a superpower because there are many intelligent people in the world which makes it less special. In my mind the media and our own school does not champion academic accomplishments because they think that it's something that is already a must like we have to be intelligent so why be awarded for it? It would seems that people fear, criticize, and insult smart people in class or the workplace because they themselves are insecure about not knowing as much as "smart people" do.
