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.

    I think they mean “quirky” in the sense of standing out. Some people will walk over corpses if it makes them stand out.
    Being overtly stupid is apparently a great way of standing out very quickly, if you’re not picky about the kind of attention you get.
