It's a common and tired refrain on the Left that if you "educate" people, they will listen to more intellectual pursuits.

Some of the most intellectual people I've met can be rather anti-intellectual. Then there are those who just like stupid shit - they I can get along with, even if we do end up watching Nascar.

People, as a group, will always favor the entertaining over the abstract - probably because entertainment, by definition, entertains. No amount of smarts, book or street, defeats that.
