Take the words right out of my mouth.

 

This has been bothering me for some time. With the free flow of information on Internet. There should not be any illiterate anymore.

 

Yet, there are illiterate in science, and other stuff that I consider "basic knowledge" and common sense.

 

I'm against pseudoscience. From quantum woo-woo to anti-vaccination spreaders. 

 

We could all learn, and spread of knowledge should be part of everyday life. 

 

Being a learner is the best way to go against ignorance in self and others.
