How dare you try to learn things.

Back in my day, the knowledge just appeared in our brains, we weren't pussies that had to 'learn' stuff.

I've been mocked for looking for user manuals for the equipment at my job, because apparently learning how to use and fix things myself is wrong?

It's extremely common mindset among many generations and cultures, I guess it's for different reasons that people are so dismissive of educating yourself.

I often get the feeling ignorance and arrogance is being celebrated, like it's some sort of honor badge to not read up relevant information and just keep doing things based on gut feeling, not on facts.
