I heard this in the car the other day. Jon Ronson’s hilarious investigation as to whether corporate leaders can, in fact, be psychopaths by visiting Al Dunlap, the turnaround artist known as “Chainsaw Al” for his cost-cutting at Scott Paper, Crown Zellerbach and Sunbeam. He was ousted as CEO of Sunbeam in 1998 amid an accounting brouhaha.
This is an excerpt from Ronson’s book, The Psychopath Test.

We know our letters just fine, and we know our numbers to a certain point, but books were always the realm of four-eyed poindexters with bowler hats and cravats. That’s why it pleases us so that America’s proud illiterates are finally stepping up and pushing back against the crushing tide of education that threatens to swallow us all into its gaping maw of checked facts. Champions of the Ignorantiat will not like it here.
