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.
“quirky”=“stupid”? That sounds like a strange definition. Some of the quirkiest people I’ve known have been highly educated.
Quirky synonyms:
eccentric, idiosyncratic, unconventional, unorthodox, unusual, off-centre, strange, bizarre, weird, peculiar, odd, freakish, outlandish, offbeat, out of the ordinary, Bohemian, alternative, zany, outré, wacky, freaky, kinky, way-out, far out, kooky, oddball, off the wall, in left field, bizarro
That’s what I thought.
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.
That’s fair, but that’s not what they said.
