Why Do Stupid People Think They're Smart? The Dunning Kruger Effect (animated)
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 10. 2018
- The Dunning-Kruger effect can be observed during talent shows like American Idol. The auditions are usually filled with a variety of good and bad singers. The ones who are bad at it, almost never realize how bad they really are.
Low ability people do not possess the skills needed to recognize their own incompetence or lack of knowledge. Their poor self-awareness leads them to overestimate their own capabilities.
However when you become more knowledgeable about a certain topic, that confidence falls. Only when you start to reach above average skill, is when the your confidence about a certain topic starts to pick up again.
But why? Why does being less skilled make you more confident in your abilities?

"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience." - Mark Twain
mark twain was right
The worst thing is that they are too stupid to realize what they even did to you
I disagree with this quote to be honest. You may think they are stupid, but you are not always right. When someone is really trying to prove their point, and you turn away, that's a really douchebag thing to do.
@EXISTENTIAL CRISIS Well, sometimes you can misjudge. I've had moments where I have a good debate with someone else, but they turn away and ignore me after a while. I can understand why, and I have almost done it before, but what you are actually doing is closing off the opinions of others, which is bad.
To me, it's more like: don't argue with people who want to make a point and be right at all costs. No matter how stupid or smart they are.
I like discussing with people politely, share ideas and perspective. If I know I am not an expert in a matter, I shut my mouth and listen. I may not agree, but if I am no expert, there is a slight chance I might say something stupid.
So I let the ignorant yell at each other.
And I talk only after a thorough research.
@@ainbrisk545 You realize that you really don't disagree with that quote right? You disagree with turning away from someone who isn't stupid and is really trying to prove a point, Mark Twain was not talking about these people, so you probably don't disagree with his quote.
“If you’re dumb, you’re too dumb to know you’re dumb.”
- the smart beb.
So i gues im in the middle im dumb but smart enough to know it
You know...
That’s kinda smart
So if I say I know I'm dumb, that means I am not, but acknowledging I am not dumb would make me dumb. That's a dumb paradox
Path to the math
@@hossdude65 yeah the key is starting and continuing from the fact that you don't know anything
“The problem with the world is that ignorant people are confident, and intelligent people are cautious”
Nope. Talk to academics. They are intelligent enough to be excessively arrogant. Especially those that have doctorates. They believe that doctorate in botanical sciences they possess makes them economists, foreign policy experts and political science analysts. Of course, you wouldn't know anything only having a BA or BS in that field. Lol.
I think the actual quote is more like "The problem with the world is that the ignorant are cock-sure of themselves and the intelligent are full of doubt." Either way, it sure is the truth.
Haha wait, how's that THE problem with the world?
I can list 10 things off the top of my head that's A worse problem than that and I'm pretty sure that they're not THE problem with the world.

this explains why the school system is messed up.
they all call themselves smart, but in reality....
the people who created common core and the curriculum stuff don’t know anything about the world and what is taught in their schools, but somehow claim to be smart.
This is so eye-opening. When I was teenager, I thought I knew everything (because I didn't know much at all). It wasn't until I was in my early 20s that I realized that I didn't know sh*t (because I was learning more about the real world). Every day, there's something new to learn. And even if you're very knowledgeable in something, there's always someone more knowledgeable. Stay humble.
I am a teenager and I also think that I am better than everyone else and I will be successful in future. ):
So am I. It's totally the same as my case and I really didn't know why but now it's bright
Same i suck I'm not humble which makes me dumb but I admit I started being proud and stupid because of the past criticism i received. I thought the being more proud will make me less guilty of my mistakes BUT I GOT TO PROUD
You must've been a really dumb teenager! 😂
This was more like late 20s for me but it was a good because I was able to reinvent my craft

I always loved that irony
@crummyy just a guess but i think this is from the episode where in Patrick became smart due to wearing a brain coral in his head
Patrick really said that? Huh and I thought he was unaware of his own and others stupidity
Edit: so apparently from what helo g. said This was from that one SpongeBob episode where Patrick turn smart
I don't know the name of that episode
isaac M The episode where Patrick becomes smart using a brain coral is called “Patrick SmartPants,” from season 4.
@crummyy I think it's simply that he is that much of dumb that he thinks he's not, and dumb enough to not think on what himself says
It's so tricky to deal with this paradox,if you don't act confident enough people will underestimate your skills but if you fall for your confidence yourself it will stop your growth.

Don't worry about it........ Your not smart.
@@stephenhanger2521 yes yes we know 🗿🗿

On a similar note, I find the most annoying people to be those that make fun of another person for not knowing something. They think that it's a person's own fault for not knowing something, when in fact a lot of the time it's impossible to learn something that you haven't even heard of.
What you don't know can't hurt you, and can't be entered into Google because - again - you don't know it.
Ignorant people put others down ....intelligent people are accepting ...since you can learn anything you want
What is worse ,is that they don't want to know that they don't know . ..Actively choosing blissful ignorance 🤷♂️. . They will also accuse you as being a know it all . .I used to get upset by all of this
Just because someone knows something doesnt make him smarter, knowledge does not equal intelligence.
I don't want to know the truth! I'm happy thinking "my way!" This is my mother's logic and apparently many people in the US.
Is ignorance really bliss?!

You can "win" an argument with a stupid person. They'll just never admit it.
@@YowLife that's the point of the quote...
Being able to say "I don't know" is one of the hardest things for a lot of people. I learned to do it within my own hobbies and it just ended up spreading out to other aspects of my life. Not knowing isn't weakness. It just means you need to learn.
A victim of stupidity usually attacks strangers for jealousy and stupidity
Its funny how this comment section is a perfect example of this

@@sumaiyatahsin4707 Actually, since I have explored the dunning kruger effect, I constantly ask myself if I suffer from that effect.

'The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubt, while the stupid people are full of confidence." - Charles Bukowski
3:50 no it's actually the people with average knowledge on a topic that are full of doubt. It makes sense, when you first start learning something you'll likely breeze through the start since you're gonna be learning basic things but as you progress you'll feel overwhelmed by all the information that you don't understand yet. If you truly are intelligent that section of not feeling knowledgeable will be smaller and for most of your time learning that subject you'll feel pretty confident (depends on the subject)
Lol it's not a problem it's make smart people keep going forward
A joke I remember....
Arguing with a stupid person is like playing chess with a Pigeon.
Even when you win, the Pigeon will shit all over the board and strut around like it won anyway 😀

Friend of a friend I knew, would come up with the most random shit you’ve ever heard of. Ex Formula driver, secretly a member of the SAS and friend to the stares etc.
He would argue to the grave that all this was true, yet he was a gardener in his 30’s that lived with his Mum!
We had to ignore it eventually.
We referred to him as ‘The Incredible Bullshitting Man’ 😂
There is a difference between experience and knowledge. We feel too confident when we get new knowledge but having experience at some thing is greater than just having a knowledge about it.
The phrase "Ignorance is bliss" comes to mind... I've known about this effect for years now, but I never connected it with that phrase. Seems so fitting now that I realize...

I've experienced Dunning Kruger once myself. It was, when I started bread baking.
The very first trials were absolute garbage, but once I've done a few bakes, I gained massive confidence and thought I was kinda good at it and that bread making is pretty simple actually.
Boy, was I wrong.
I've learned more and more and more. And everytime I've learned more, often trough failure, I came to realize: Damn this is complex.
I'm actually doing this as a job now. And I love it. And the stuff I do is good, according to any standard. HOWEVER: I know there is so much more. I've only conquered the very top of the Iceberg. I'm pretty confident to say, that there is propably another 70+% to still learn.
And know what? I'm not going to do that mistake ever again. Some topics may seem very simple at first glance, but in propably 95+% of cases, it's propably way more complex then you could imagine in your wildest dreams.

My dad gave me a little piece of advice when I was young that sounded something like this. He told me that whenever you start a new job you're in a situation where you don't even know what you don't know.
He told me to keep my mouth shut and to pay attention to everything. I should also periodically ask my supervisor what he felt I needed to work on. He said if I did that long enough I would move into the category of people that at least know what they don't know.
He said I should be happy to be in that category because then I could confidently research and learn the things that I knew were important and relevant to my job performance.

Nice video and explanation. We were told to expect this when taking boards when certifying, because the test has an algorithm that after so many correct answers the test would move you into the next level of difficulty. So if you walked out thinking you nailed the test, you may have only answered questions below average area- whereas some of the smartest people in my class told me they knew they failed walking out because it was so difficult. But immediately found out they passed with high scores.

This feels like another paradox: By saying the phrase “stupid people”, we assume we are smarter, which in turn will make us stupid. But if you think this far, that means you know you are stupid and some people are better than you, and that will place you in the “smart” range.

For those who aren't aware of the beauty of Yorkshire puds, they're a savoury side made out of batter. (yknow, milk, eggs, bit of flour) the English eat em with a roast. Usually on a Sunday. Or it used to be like that.
But anyway. In the ground. Like potatoes.
I once put the phone in the fridge and the milk on the phone stand.

Your crazy of you dont think everybody does stupid things sometimes
It is not so much "stupid" people maybe, but more like people having opinions outside of their own field of expertise. They can be quite smart in other areas.
Blame social media. Everyone’s an expert if there’s no responsibility taken
i love how you put this
Well, intelligence, and wisdom is not the same. Remembering things, has nothing to do with intelligence really.

When you think you're stupid, always remember that there's someone who rob a bank wearing a lemon.
I'm sure he just used the wrong type of lemon. ;)
The glitch was patched in v17.9, sadly.
I wonder if they shortened the sentence at all due to how dumb the plan was, I mean sure he coulda done damage but realistically I bet he wasnt actually capable of robbing a bank, both mentally and in prep terms

The more you know, the more you know you don't know
No. If that were true, no one would continue to learn anything for more than 3 weeks. There would be no experts. Experts might not be omniscients, but they will always know a crapload more than anyone else, why do you think they bothered to study a field for 5, 10, 20, 40 years, their whole life? They are smart people, if they thought it is not worth doing it, they would not have learned anything. Yours is an absurd conclusion. It sounds clever, but it's not solid logic. Say, when you eat a lot, do feel hungrier? Or when you get more money, do you feel poorer? Personally, the more I learn something, the more I feel that I know MORE, not less. It will never be 'all', but so what. I don't confuse 'a lot' with 'all'. A lot is a lot, The video is more about stupid people who DON'T know, and go 'I get it'. Not the ones who DO know.
I didn't know that.

Man: “let’s see if the lemon juice makes me invisible”
Man: (squeezes lemon juice on face)
Man: (goes blind)
Man: (can’t see mirror)
Man: “wow omg it worked”
Man: Welp, time to rob a bank!
Goes in the bank squirts lemon juice in eyes* give me all your money!
Well, if you were invisible you wouldn’t be able to see anything, because your eyes would be invisible, meaning you wouldn’t see
That's big brain thinking of him theoretically but in real life practice i think that's a big No, L maybe he was years ahead of time maybe in the future when cameras are unintentionally being made. So that when you squeeze lemon juice on your eyes that it will work🤔

I always liked intelligent people who actually know their stuff, where they listen and readily share information. Which everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.
Like Beavers, they don't have a degree, but they know how to cut trees, build homes within dams to meet their need. Then how many people can lay eggs, make honeycomb and gather honey?😂

MrFunMonk I’m arguing with you. Simply stating that’s your opinion you are entitied too, just pointing out your word isn’t law that’s all
"When you are dead, you don't know you are dead; but it is very difficult on those who are around you"
"It's the same when you are stupid".
MrFunMonk nah I’m not trying to argue. I was stating simply that your statement was an opinion and that you have the right to voice it, yet somehow you’re confusing your opinion for fact and that’s okay it happens, just thought I’d help ya out. And the too was an autocorrect from my iPhone but incase you haven’t learned yet, you’re not perfect either.
This is so true. When I just had a diploma in my field of study, I was very confident in my job. Once I did my bachelors, it opened my eyes to the vast amount of things I didn't know, which made me further my studies. Now, with a masters degree, I know that I have a lot more to learn. In other words, education opened my eyes and mind... Thanks for this wonderful video!
Awesome content. Thank you sir for sharing this with us
Saying, "I don't know", doesn't mean that you are stupid.
So true...how many times have I given instructions to someone shaking their head in acknowledgment only to receive the end result wrong because they are afraid to say "I don't understand"...
This is it, people always gotta know shit and chime in, but half the time they say the dumbest shit you ever heard with a straight face
Exactly, it shows self awareness, insight and the ability to recognise your own lack of knowledge. It's an ability that not enough people possess.
No, it means you're smart enough to admit you still have something to learn. However; If you don't know, and STILL won't admit it... is not a good sign.

We should always consider ourselves a student in each field! Even when we dominate a field, there is always new things to learn and ways to improve.
"Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance." - Confucius.
I like this one. It reminds me of a video i saw and the director Orson Welles's comment. "Ignorance. Sheer ignorance there's no confidence to equal it. It's only when you know something about a profession you're careful or timid. I thought you could do anything with a camera that the eye could do, or that the imagination could do." I heard it from "The biggest problem with Modern Films" @9:39 I will forever love this comment. This could be more targeted in a creative or passionate standpoint. learning from what you desire not dwelling in it. You have to believe 100% in your ability when challenged by a task. It's the only way you can grow. (If you choose to..)

So my professor is stupid? That explains why my scores were so low. He couldn't handle my genius.
Very true in junior college where professors wash out of a university...
No .......I know what you're thinking...... I had straight A's
one of my lecturers constantly told me for 2 years that I was going to Fail the entire 2 year course... turns out she was secretly giving my coursework to one of her "favourites" and then acting like I hadn't handed in any coursework.. when I confronted her about it after finding out she denied it and tried getting me kicked out of the course... so I handed in really bad work for the rest of the course and then she told me that she "lost" all of my coursework during the last 2 weeks of college... luckily I was prepared for this and actually did really amazing work in secret and handed that in to our amazing 2nd lecturer who had it as evidence that I had been doing my work so that he could back me up if anything became of it... I spent the last 2 weeks making sure it was extra exceptional work.. that could only achieve the highest marks... I had the highest marks out of everybody on the course... I only found out at the time that she had been giving my coursework to somebody else because my GF at the time was asked to assist with organising everybody's coursework into Folders with labelled sections to mark the areas of the course.. because even though we were supposed to do it ourselves many people hadn't... anyway I decided to help my GF at the time tidy it all up.. and she spotted my work that she had seen me do at times in other peoples folders... so yeah.. my lecturer was corrupt and she cried to me asking me why the people on the course hated her and I told her straight it's because she keeps having favourites and neglecting everybody else... I told her straight up...

They say a mark of intelligence is understanding "cause and effect." And many times, I can agree with this when comedian Bill Engvall admits that he himself is an idiot because he doesn't want to think of "the effect" part of "cause and effect." He's hyper focused on one possibility without giving much thought about other possibilities, which is why he has so many self-deprecation stories to share in his comedy skits and admits he doesn't learn.
Paradoxically none of this means he's stupid though because he accepts that's just who he is. He knows he has a "I'm Stupid" sign on his head and embraces it wholeheartedly, which is the smart thing to do and why he has such a long successful career in comedy.
The Dunning-Kruger effect is strong in Bill Engvall and I can't help but love him for it.
I've heard other arguments that make the case for the "mid-wit". That is, an individual who is very average in intelligence and thus smart enough to grasp the basics of most topics yet not intelligent or disciplined enough to acquire a thorough understanding thereof. What makes them a "mid-wit" is that they lack the intelligence to appreciate their own limitations.
In my own experience, the smartest people whom I have ever known were also very self-critical. I myself am a remarkably unremarkable individual, but I have at least taken the lesson of introspection from these people. If I think I understand something, I question myself and look again. I'll never be very intelligent, but I can at least be thorough and self-critical.
Sounds almost like nit-wit
