in sum: The Uninformed State of America. but I believe the
condition is one not especially homo (in)sapiens Americanus, but of homo
insapiens. or a tendency of fuga mundi (escape the world) or better agnothi
seauton.

the uninformed state of America
Susan Jacoby's The Age of American Unreason (2008) is
enlightening and realistically depressing, and personally I better understood
why I feel like my mind is dullened after just a few days visiting "down
South", and this à la my heroes become kinsman Emerson and Thoreau.
