Hi all, thanks to Twitter I stumbled across a very interesting blog post called "Is there a new geek anti-intellectualism?" (http://larrysanger.org/2011/06/is-there-a-new-geek-anti-intellectualism/).
Particularly in combination with the author's replies (http://larrysanger.org/2011/06/geek-anti-intellectualism-replies/) to many of the comments his original story received after being widely spread via Slashdot, Twitter, blogs, etc. this make for fascinating weekend read. I definitely haven't managed to wrap my head around all of it but as a geek-dominated community working on education projects I feel some the things being discussed there potentially also apply to our own efforts.
