When did being educated become a bad thing?

Asked by Rude_Bear (882points) January 9th, 2010

When did actually knowing what you are doing/ what you are talking about become bad? There seems to be a bias against intellectuals because they actually understand something that is complex which might actually disagree with “common sense”. There are things in this world that Joe six-pack will not understand, so why is it those who do understand are somehow the villains? Shouldn’t that role go the the people who make no effort to educate themselves and insist that what the believe/know must be so?
