One of the most aggravating things to me in this world has to be the absolutely rampant anti-intellectualism that dominates so many conversations and debates, and its influence just seems to be expanding. Do you think there will ever actually be a time when this ends? I'd hope so once people become more educated and cultural changes eventually happen, but as of now it honestly infuriates me like few things ever have.

    Your points dispproving hydrogen as a viable energy solution for the future are a bit silly. It’s like saying the future isn’t possible because what is available now. I would actually say you’re being anti-intellectual because you’re not being open minded and solution oriented, which are intellectual traits.

      You might need to read the discussion, as I was being solution oriented (Hydrogen has many good uses, and I agreed with that based on evidence).

      But, the original poster started using buzzwords (I blocked the guy, so don’t remember them fully, but there was a lot), character attacks, and dismissing major evidence. Character attacks aren’t a valid debating technique…
