ANTI-INTELLECTUALISM IN AMERICA

I feel like a lot of people are afraid to be criticized because they take what other people think about them to hard and might get emotional. The reason that people don’t do big thinks that is because they don’t seem interested on it and they might feel left out and not smart. Me as a teen i generally feel like people don’t use their intelligence as a superpower because they want to be followers. The teens now days want to do what they see others doing and want to do the same thing. The way I see it is like people like Elon musk and bill gates they are smart people with a lot of money and they probably had a great mindset. I don’t want to be a follower I rather be a leader and use what I have in my favor than being a follower.
