I actually read your article, and I wholly disagree.
Facts matter, truth matters and without the A students we would be even further down the road to Idiocracy, which ofc looks more like a future-documentary every day.
Your brand of “it’s all stupid, so join the stupid train” seems designed to appeal to people who want to be stupid. Or you could call yourself ignorant, if you prefer.
In any case, the anti-intellect position that you promote may have a basis in reality (headline hippos) but it is far from a positive contribution.
The only one with an anti-intellect position here is you. Using sophistry to try and paint a situation as something that it’s not is not intellectual in any way. Facts and truth do matter, and that’s precisely why using word games to misrepresent reality is a problem.
Your brand of using straw man arguments to avoid engaging with what’s actually being said to you seems designed to appeal to people who want to be stupid. Or you could call yourself ignorant, if you prefer.
In any case, the anti-intellect position that you promote where you discourage people from critically thinking about the narrative they’re fed is far from a positive contribution.

You can do better.
