“Anti-intellectualism has been a 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.'”

To my understanding, people will forge their own path and it's all down to consequence.
Look at driving. The rules are laid out. Drivers die daily through breaking rules or misjudging a situation, something we've all been told to pay more attention to by someone more experienced than us.
Driver aids then come into play to support us, speed limits, sensors, new speed sign reading technology, but I'm sure we all think that we're brilliant drivers and everyone else is in the wrong.
Don't get me started on vapes, tattoos, Crocs with socks, helium balloons because I know no one would listen to my opinions. And be careful as a parent, as any life lessons you give to your children, they might rebel and not listen.

my issue is the temps i have to work with some great but the vast majority incapable of just really basic tasks ,just staying awake and actually turning up is a major challenge ,we have a graduate who cant put a sticker on a box, when he does its on top instead of side or upside-down ,they are so incredibly stupid they just cause more more work
Probs not windows but I'm pretty sure of them them 'learn' your accent which means it starts off rocky but then should be fine.

I think a lot of people are lazy and/or can't be bothered in work.

This is a trait i cannot stand. There a lot of people that feel the need to explain everything to everyone all the time, or make out they know more than them about stuff.
I had a colleague at work years ago who i could not stand, because she was the most condescending **** ever. She ALWAYS immediately assumed everyone else didn't understand something or didn't know something even though she was the thick one.
I think it was a defence mechanism because she was hideous fat ugly ***** who looked uglier than female Shrek.

I find the opposite in work the biggest problem.
People saying, yes they understand what to do but don't. Then don't say anything and do it wrong.

They might be intelligent and an expert, but doesn't mean they're right all the time. Or that they're being genuine in what they say. Agenda's, biases all come into play.
For example, most published research is wrong. Might be better since this video was done, but doubtful.

Is Most Published Research Wrong?
Mounting evidence suggests a lot of published research is false.Check out Audible: http://bit.ly/AudibleVeSupport Veritasium on Patreon: http://bit.ly/VePatr...

Please listen when I tell you, you do not need a space before a common. Your spelling is terrible too. What is your IQ?
I have a friend who constantly does the opposite to the advice he asks for. And he asks so many people including his parents.
Then he goes off, does exactly what you told him not too and then gets ****** off about it.
Then a few weeks later, he will come back with the same issue (usually relationship related) you give him the same advice or in my case tell him to foxtrot Oscar and he does it again, the cycle repeats over and over. His dad is sick of him and they argue because of it, as he's sick of constantly getting asked for advice and doing the opposite. My friend gets annoyed and they end up falling out.
Said friends parents are very rich and he is quite entitled. He thinks he can do a lot of things well and he can't. He can't make his own decisions for anything. Hes the sort of guy that needs advice on what way to wipe his arse.
Unfortunately, he will never learn and never have to struggle through life to actually get some proper learning experience.
I love him, but he is a great drain on me sometimes.
A huge amount of people are like this and I try and keep myself to myself these days. Not saying I'm perfect in anyway, but at least I learn from my mistakes.
