The literacy crisis isn’t that people can’t read the words. It’s that they can’t understand the context, infer meaning, recognise nuance, identify contradictions, or draw logical conclusions from what they’ve read
We shouldn't be mean to people who aren't academically smart but we absolutely have a right + responsibility to shame the intellectually incurious. The world is literally on fire because of anti-intellectualism

an artificial kidney which is already in development and struggling to secure funding could genuinely be a lifesaver for millions of people but yeah let’s indulge the pitiful fantasies of overly comfortable adults who are mentally twelve
