Ngl that Asimov rant is indistinguishable from a reddit post
Yeah, the premise isn't necessarily wrong, there seems to be a cult of ignorance in the US, and the results are clearly there to see. But to say that elitism doesn't exist, that people have no right feeling alienated from the powerful and their class markers, and that having legible road signs without text on them is a sign of social malaise is some next level reddit energy, and nearly indistinguishable from reddit bros complaining that people these days don't know how to work a computer because they only know phones or that the world would be better if everyone just learned how to code.
Asimov was absolutely a proto-Redditor
Asimov’s review of 1984 is pretty 🔥 though and that shit would never fly on r*ddit.
