From a quote by Glenn Reynolds: "What bloggers are more than anything, I think, is anti-idiot. That makes life tough for Noam Chomsky, Cornel
West, and the Revs. Falwell, Robertson,
Jackson, & Sharpton, for reasons that transcend traditional partisanship and ideology." The term "anti-idiotarianism" refers to a
philosophy of not being an idiot.
"We reject the idiotarianism of the Left — the moral blindness that refuses to recognize that free markets, individual
liberty, and experimental science have made the
West a fundamentally better place.
We also reject the idiotarianism of the Right — whether it manifests as head-in-the-
sand isolationism or as a Christian-chauvinist political agenda that echoes religious absolutism.
We prefer an anti-idiotarianism that promotes the individual and not the institution."
