“There's a cult of ignorance in the US, there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” ―Issac Asimov

So he wrote a quote which is perfect to use against exactly what he was arguing for.
