What are the important consequences of anti-intellectualism? Good, bad, neutral, short and long-term. Why do we need a subplot of intellectualism in culture at all?

The goal of “culture” is either intellectualism, in which case your question is tautological, or it is farting around, and intellectualism is an excellent way of doing so.

Dunno... legal systems, medical administration practices, investigative journalism,... lots of things seem to require intellectual culture, aren’t STEM, and aren’t “farting around” (which is quite a small minority... people like me)
