Read More: The Shittiest Robots of 2015 Maudlinism isn't a good look, but still, it would feel a bit strange to half-ironically wax poetic about what a shitty robot really means when 2016 has already had more than enough smirking faux-intellectualism.

The composition's complexity and the artist's peculiar technique — it's hard to tell whether he used stencils to create his myriad, overlapping shapes, or if they were first painted on a nonporous surface, peeled off, and then attached to the canvas — convey intellectualism over emotion.

TV news veteran Katie Couric says she's not sure if the question about reading material she famously asked Sarah Palin during the 2008 presidential election would have the same impact in 2019 due to what she said was a "concerning" rise in anti-intellectualism.

But what the pundits decried—his contempt for conservative orthodoxy, his dystopian vision, bigotry, anti-intellectualism and egomania—now looks like a fully formed, stunningly successful campaign which, if it has not rewritten the rules of electioneering, got away with flouting most of them.

Thus even decades after his death, Matta-Clarke's avant-garde art interventions have not fallen into the hole of dry academic intellectualism; they remain in vital dialogue with today's social, economic, and political realities; and this makes Matta-Clark an artist worth rhapsodizing over.

Luther's actions and his doctrines need to be looked at in light of the fact that there was an emerging vernacular intellectualism associated with the strong and persisting movements of religious dissent to be found throughout Europe from at least the twelfth century forward.

Though some of the sounds and styles overlapped, big beat was like the poppier antithesis to the intellectualism of the more critically beloved IDM, and a response to the self-importance of purist DJs who were dominating the UK dance scene in the mid-90s.

Though he presents his biography as an ultimately optimistic story, Mr. Buttigieg also describes feelings of loneliness and fear with an emotional honesty that we have not heard from too many other candidates, melding the intellectualism that appeals to many Democrats with something more intimate.

That is already clear, as is the fact that Trump's embrace of Putin was not some weird whim but reflected a fundamental alignment of values around bigotry, racism, homophobia, anti-intellectualism, calculated religious absolutism, 21st-century big-data autocracy and hatred of the media.

But as Chelsea plies her johns with a facsimile of the devotion and tenderness they might be missing at home, or satisfies their fetishes and her own, her power — and our pleasure — lies as much in her intellectualism and transactional savvy as it does in sexual acrobatics.

Not to put too fine a point on it: What Donald Trump and his party are selling increasingly boils down to white nationalism — hatred and fear of darker people, with a hefty dose of anti-intellectualism plus anti-Semitism, which is always part of that cocktail.

"Nixey makes the fundamental point that while we lionize Christian culture for preserving works of learning, sponsoring exquisite art and adhering to an ethos of 'love thy neighbor,' the early church was in fact a master of anti-intellectualism, iconoclasm and mortal prejudice," Bettany Hughes writes in her review.

The prescience of Judge's vision — imagining an America 500 years from now, after generations of junk-food-scarfing, reality television-obsessed citizens breed a culture guided only by base impulses — gained new resonance in 2016, when populist anti-intellectualism vaulted a crude B-list TV star to the nation's highest office.

Because he's been too busy performing at awards shows over the past few months, he apparently missed the whole turning cultural conversation around Rick and Morty, which has mostly served as affirmation for shitty nerds worst impulses toward pseudo-intellectualism (and like, slathering themselves in rare McDonald's sauces for fun).

While there are no guarantees that a critical education will prompt individuals to contest various forms of oppression and violence, it is clear that in the absence of a formative democratic culture, critical thinking will increasingly be trumped by anti-intellectualism, and walls and war will become the only means to resolve global challenges.

He had left the Bay Area because of what he felt was, as he once put it, an "incredible paranoia among most of the people I knew" that reflected a distrust of intellectualism and measures of artistic success, as well as a generalized hatred of New York and Los Angeles, the country's main art centers.

The restaurant's guestbook is stuffed full of hand-written praise for the man considered by many to be a great, innovative revolutionary, and by many others to be a ruthless dictator responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of people and, via his 1966-1976 Cultural Revolution, the strangling of intellectualism and the arts.

But what many experts wonder today is whether there are large parts of the electorate who just no longer care, whether anti-intellectualism and a disdain for expertise has created an electoral climate where it is accepted as legitimate to make pointed arguments about other countries without really knowing much about the facts on the ground.

Following a campaign characterised throughout by anti-intellectualism—and a distinct disregard for science in particular— many scientists are worried that Trump and his allies will financially purge areas of science and tech research associated with a supposedly liberal agenda, along with projects for which there might be immense benefits, but for which there's no immediate application.

He spoke in the aspirational language about the day after Trump, projects the same kind of detached intellectualism, and centered his identity as the first gay candidate (and the perceived electoral risk that accompanies that identity) in how Barack Obama approached his own position as the party's first black nominee and then the first black president.

Mr. Lagerfeld blithely sprinkled his conversations with erudite references, as does Mr. Abloh, though his tend to be the references of popular intellectualism (Mies van der Rohe, Duchamp, Rem Koolhaas), while Mr. Lagerfeld's were often obscure and extraordinary (the Danish illustrator Kay Nielsen and his 1914 children's book, "East of the Sun and West of the Moon").

There are ways in which Donald Trump is a kind of Dorian Gray's portrait of J.F.K. — with the same appetitiveness and clannishness (swap Ivanka for R.F.K.) and personal secrets (tax returns for Trump, medical records for Kennedy), but without the youthful looks and eloquence and a patina of intellectualism and idealism to clean those failings up.

Advertise on Hyperallergic with Nectar Ads ST. LOUIS — Walking into the L-shaped projects+gallery space, you might be held up at the entrance trying to decode the message on the wall — "post-identity semiotics," spelled out in vinyl letters — but the heavy intellectualism the words suggest is missing from the work on display in Transparency Shade.

It evokes that inescapable part of the region's history — a legacy rooted in anti-intellectualism, xenophobia, stubborn religiosity, and, of course, ugly, institutionalized racism, expressed in a poisonous mix of ignorance and fear — that has caused indelible pain over many generations, a kind of lasting damage to the human soul that no amount of feel-good, anecdotal jottings will ever mitigate.

In the life of Michael Cromartie, an evangelical-Christian impresario dead of cancer last week at 67, you could see a larger generational story in archetype — the story of certain boomer-era evangelicals, heirs to an embattled and often self-segregated subculture, who tried to abandon anti-intellectualism and separatism and to establish a new religious center for a fragmenting and secularizing age.

I know Zivich and Sperry, as well as members of Cave, to be actively engaged in pushing the fringes of contemporary art practice and presentation, and Eric Schmid is an Idiot bears several of the earmarks of the What Pipeline/Cave aesthetic: conscious primitivism, repurposed and decaying materials, chaos, experimental sound/performance art, employment of cool intellectualism to create emotional distance between maker and object.

My critique of what I have called "gated intellectuals" responds to these troubling trends by pointing to an increasingly isolated and privileged full-time faculty who believe that higher education still occupies the rarefied, otherworldly space of disinterested intellectualism of Cardinal Newman's 19th century, and who defend their own indifference to social issues through appeals to professionalism or by condemning as politicized those academics who grapple with larger social issues.

One plausible conclusion, exemplified by this piece by Slate's Justin Phillips, is that they're deeply intertwined — that the show succeeds because it's a kind of dangerous faux-intellectualism for shallow bigots: By routinely disparaging the credibility and intentions of traditional centers of learning while giving idiots hours on end to profess their theories, Rogan allows his guests to establish themselves as the real fonts of mind-expanding knowledge.

With fascism and authoritarianism once again on the rise, it's more vital to do more than simply denounce something like Mein Kampf, and work instead to understand why so many readers found it appealing: Unencumbered by the theoretical and stylistic obligations of nineteenth-century economic "science," and secure in its anti-intellectualism, Mein Kampf rejects both class war and searching for the "soul of the soul" in favor of a berserk hatred that is far more visceral, enduring, and alluring to the great darkness of the human heart.
