Can it be called anti intellectual by not having the necessary knowledge?
The sparrow thing was a fiasco but was based on something no? They had a hypothesis and test it.
Honestly I don't think the semantics of it are overly important is it technically anti intellectual if you simply don't know better probably not but was the wide roll out without real testing anti intellectual possibly, but in the end it all comes down to the 3 core factors which were the natural disasters, immense lack of agronomic knowledge, and poor reporting traditions what exactly you call them is not as important I think.
What's funny is that capitalism conditioned @Egriaga@lemmy.ml to be anti-intellecutal as they keep repeating the same thing and not understanding what you have to say
