In the field of psychology, the Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people mistakenly assess their cognitive ability as greater than it is. It is related to the cognitive bias of illusory superiority and comes from the inability of people to recognize their lack of ability. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, people cannot objectively evaluate their competence or incompetence.

"The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubt, while stupid ones are full of confidence." - Charles Bukowski
I am intelligent and have confidence but this world is beyond me I don't know man maybe I was born in a wrong world an avergae person is stupid af😅
Your cockyness shows that you're just like the average stupid person, If you truly we're intelligent you wouldn't feel the need to tell this to everyone

They don’t want to discuss politics, they just name call and repeat simple slogans.
The smarter I get.... the more I realize how stupid I am.

Yeah, but you don’t get smarter that’s the thing
The more I know.... The more questions I have...
the smarter I get , the more I realize how stupid smart people are .
@manny_ nuff
smarter than your numb nuts although that ain't saying much .
dungpile kruger effect is dumb people think they're the smart ones . You fail to understand the irony of the concept captain dungpile .
The Dunning-Kruger Effect has spawned a new phenomenon I like to call the Dunning-Kruger Effect Effect, which is when stupid people invoke the Dunning-Kruger Effect as though it doesn’t apply to them.
Now stay tuned for my analysis of the Dunning-Kruger Effect Effect Effect, which I myself am now guilty of.

That is ESPECIALLY true now for all the anti-vax, anti-mask COVIDiots infesting society.

Exactly why we can't trust those types to have vast power over swaths of others. A more decentralized approach where leaders are more aware of the local impacts of their policies is key

This video reminds me of a piece of advice my father gave me when I got my first job.
He told me that because I was so inexperienced, that I didn't even know what I didn't know. He told me to keep my mouth shut, except to ask questions about the things that were confusing me. He also told me to periodically ask my boss what were the things that I needed to improve on, and then figure out how to improve my performance in those areas.
He assured me that if I did that long enough that I would eventually get to the point where I at least knew what I didn't know. He told me to be happy when I got to that point, because by then all I needed to do was to research the things that I didn't yet know, so I could finally understand them.
That was great advice and I still use it to this day. I miss you dad, you passed away when I was still a teenager but you taught me enough about being a man before you passed that I was able to live a life you'd be proud of. It's 2021, I'm 41 years old, and I still miss you every single day!
Gr8 advice! Your father was a wise man! Rest In Peace.
You should thank your father. Well, did it. If more people had a father like yours, they may be the world would be better.
@@adilsonsf He's still the best man I ever knew. It hurts still to this day that I lost him, especially while I was still in High School, but he made sure his son would be able to succeed without him. He taught me how to be a man, it was up to me to do it. Every time I fell short, it wasn't because he didn't prepare me, it was because I didn't follow his examples. Even when he was stuck in that wheelchair, and in that hospital bed, he was still the strongest man that I've ever seen.
Christ, I'm in tears writing this... I just hope my son ends up having a fraction of the respect for me that I have for my father. If he does, then I know I'll have done a good job raising him.
hell yea!!!!! proper proton right there!!!!! i hope i live up to half the dad my dad was!!!! still is!!!

We are social beings made to live in small group habitats (let's say a 500 people village). What's right or wrong will be agreed upon by the diverse group members (diverse in the sense of many divergent opinions). In social media, all of a sudden groups can gather whose members all have the same opinion -- as weird as it may be. Since nobody objects and they are a sizable amount, they think it's true/legitimate.

You should address the alternative problem. The problem is 'educated' people who believe they can do no wrong and cannot be questioned about their beliefs even though an 'uneducated' person has information and facts stating it is false.
@Logic No one said the uneducated person has a low IQ. Just because a person has made a chose not to be educated , does not make them an idiot.
They do not analyze every facet, or make an attempt to acknowledge the facts presented to them due to the person not being 'educated' in the matter. This is an ego problem. ' I am better than you because I am educated' No, you are educated, but this does not mean you know everything and this down not mean no one else knows as much as you even if they are 'uneducated'
When referring to educated and uneducated, it refers to the fact someone has gone through the education system.
Being intelligent , does not mean you know everything. To admit you don't know and keep an open mind is the first step to learning. Saying you know everything is a closed mind and will learn nothing new.
@Logic Yes, i can tell you must be one of these educated people.... full of yourself
@@mek86 To be fair, most educated and uneducated people need a fair few lessons in humility.
@@HenkjanDeKaasboer Its a lesson they don't teach anymore.
Thomas Sowell: “The elites gain a little bit of knowledge & suddenly think they know more about economics than an Economics professor!
“An example is Noam Chomsky. He’s an ENGLISH professor but somehow believes he is an expert on economics & global politics. It’s ridiculous.”
Another example are those who have been trained not to question authority. Thus, go through their lives doing what they're told. Never questioning the status quo. Critical thought stifled. Fear of going against the main stream becomes a main trait.
Welcome to OUR world: we antinatalist animal rights vegans (AARV) have fought a war against factory farming for a century and the massive status quo that keeps this holocaust going.
@Logic Doesn't look like anyone is claiming to be "educated", as you state, about anything specific. Merely an observation. I would say you have some paranoia issues you may want to have checked out.
@Logic sounds like you need more hugs in your life. So much anger for a 13 yr old. Like I said, and it doesn't take a genius to see (so there is promise for you), what I stated is called an "observation". You are the only one making any "for sure" claims. YOU are the only one acting like an fool. But keep going it's entertaining. Dollars to donuts you live somewhere on the west coast.

Yep. I've taken a hard look at life objectively and I'm glad I did but it's also a curse. I know I'm not a genius but I also know I am more intelligent than the average person, I know because I had a teacher in first grade who accused me of being mentally retarded. The state board of education got involved, I performed at a 3rd grade level in first grade. 🤷♂️ I've met right around three other people like me in person. INTJ life. See shit other people don't, plan things out unlike them but take less action than "stupid" people due to planning shit out. Stupid being in quotes because I ernestly believe there is more to intelligence than just IQ, for example emotional intelligence. Most people are good at something, just finding what that is takes longer for some people. Actions taken are more succesful but if someone takes more action, they'll usually end up ahead given that the world doesn't wait. So working on that.
Ok
Not so long ago we had a Minister of Education who publicly stated that he wanted all schools to be above average!
An example of why an education bureaucracy is not the same as a good educational system.

It’s perfectly reasonable to question climate change experts who’s very living is based on what they are telling/selling you. They have a vested interest.

@IanFromCalifornia True Believer alert! So if Exxon gives $1 mil grant to a climate scientist, then his conclusion that CC is a hoax is suspect, but if the govts of the world spent $10 Billion to "prove" CC, then that's "science" and above reproach. Got it.
Oh, and to answer your question, yes, informed people on the right are only informed because they question every one and every thing. It's quite normal on this side of the aisle to review research and methods. Your side blindly believes everything you're told by the people on TV and declare anyone who questions the Narrative "anti-Science," because that's what thinking people do, they name-call and label "others"
@Logic actually CC is very easy to disprove with actual science. The only trouble is getting the normies to inform themselves from sources other than govt approved/govt controlled sources. Here's some science for you:
Carbon Dioxide is not a "greanhouse" gas, in fact there are diminishing returns to the point that increases CO2 level has no effect on temperature. Climate "models" assume CO2 has a multiplying effect (not true) to create scary charts. That's why all predictions from 30 years ago are laughably false.
CO2 rises AFTER temperature increases, this is because cold water can hold CO2 better than warm water, so when temp rises, CO2 is released from the oceans into the atmosphere. So cause and effect are 100% backwards. It is rising temps that cause the rising CO2. This trend is true over thousands of years and known to all climate scientists, ignored when they try to scare normies.
Anyway, the atmosphere is only 0.4% CO2 - in 1900 it was 0.39%. Not something to worry about.
USA warmest decade actual temp measured, 1930s. Coolest decade 70s. North ice cap is biggest ever and South Pole is recording the lowest temperatures ever recorded, probably due to solar minimum.
This is science, and if you'd read it and compared it to the nonsense you're being spoon fed day after day, you'd understand it. Don't assume people who disagree know less than you. That's what morons do, Dunning-Kruger effect, if you will.
@Logic this is an appeal to authority - not an argument. you're assuming the people drilling The Sky Is Falling into your head are "highly educated people" - when in fact, the source of this info are global elites who want to control you. They've decided to scare you into thinking the world is ending, if only you give them more money and more power. Some of these white coats are nothing more than hired guns doing what they're told for $$$$. But you're so informed you realize they are just in it for the Science! …almost holy. Meanwhile, actual scientists are denied tenure, fired, and blacklisted to keep quiet.

OMG, don't even get me started with firearm handling.
I volunteer as a range safety officer (entire shooting organization and range staff are volunteer to keep range fees and membership dirt cheap), and I could tell you some stories.
We may be volunteers, but we do go through a certification process which includes safe handling of firearms, first aid training specializing in treating gunshot wounds and rattlesnake bites (we have rattlesnakes that wander onto the range from time to time), range policy, and a bunch of other stuff before you can become a RSO. I've seen RSOs do some stupid shit too, like forgetting to deploy the orange cones when going down range to repaint the steel targets (which start at 200 yards, and go out to 450 yards in 50 yard increments). They didn't even turn on the range cold lights which signify no handling of guns and/or ammo. They're lucky nobody started shooting at the closer targets, as those ricochets can bounce and tumble really far with a ton of energy still behind them.
I'm certainly no expert, but I know enough to be careful, and enough to spot when people are doing something dangerous to the rest of the firing line. Had a guy argue with us once because he claimed he wasn't flagging people, but he was clearly flagging people. We had to escort him off the range and threaten to get the police involved if he didn't leave. We won't tolerate improper handling of firearms. It's one thing if someone makes a mistake, we point it out, and they immediately correct it, but it's another when they argue. That dog won't hunt.
Never argue with an idiot, they dont even know they're wrong therefore you will never win.

I often see Dunning-Kruger effect being used as a slur or smear of those who refuse to go along with a narrative that experts are pushing. The Surgeon was an example of an educated individual's ego resulting in Dunning-Kruger effect. And that happened because the system has conditioned them to consider themselves experts in whatever they graduated from higher education with. Something else to consider whatever happened to respecting autodidacticism, Leonardo da Vinci is a prime example the fact that he was outside of the education system has sometimes been credited with allowing his genius to flourish.
That's certainly its primary utility among the establishment's narrative police.

I made this mistake recently. I thought I would do better than the other people in my class at something and I did worse. It was humbling and I am glad I tried. It was crisis intervention and when you watch the person do it it seems easy to know how to respond. The problem is when your in the scenario your adrenaline is going and it makes it MUCH harder to think which is why it's hard to know what to say. When you can sit outside and look in objectively it all seems so simple. I also have stage fright also so having the entire class watching me caused my mind to go blank as well. REALLY want to take public speaking classes so I can learn to better control my thoughts in front of crowds.
Social Media shines a glaring light on this phenomenon
Financially Coded I think he meant is that social media having people living in a dream and becoming really confident without any realization of what they’re actually looking on fb, Twitter, Instagram, etc.

Drivers. A past acquaintance of ours refused to use a seat belt because -- according to him -- doing so would have put him at even greater risk in the event of an accident. His reasoning: The seat belt could prevent his escape from a burning and/or about-to-explode vehicle. (Also, subtle and oblique humor completely eluded him. Example: At one of our stand-up meetings, one in our group did a cute little victory dance (to celebrate a milestone). Everyone reacted as you'd expect; laughs and giggles. Then I said, "There's also a failure dance, you know... but, by pure coincidence, it just happens to look exactly like a bunch of people running down the street... crying and screaming." Laughs and giggles except from seat belt guy who (predictably) looked sort of worried and puzzled; to this day, I believe he thought I was serious about a 'failure dance'.)

Yup. I had a brother during that time who was highly educated, and he insisted that anyone who was hesitant about the new "covid vaccine", which was in fact an experimental gene altering medication (nMRA) instead of an classic vaccine, was "an idiot". Meanwhile he mocked me since I never took the "vaccine" as I didn't have to due to me getting it early and developing anti-bodies on my own and never got covid again after the first time, while he took all the doses and even all the boosters and still got covid 7 times. The "intellectuals" of in many ways often the most stupid among us, as their arrogance tends to blind them.
The hallmark of intelligence, according to Dunning, is being “good at knowing what we don’t know.” If we want to avoid the impact of cognitive biases such as the Dunning-Kruger effect and if we want to better ourselves overall, it’s vital that we’re aware that there is always more to know.

Intelligent people, that actually read and study, always reach a point where they can come up with more questions that need to be answered. This requires more reading and studying.
Stupid people just follow someone else’s opinion if it happens to confirm the believes they already have/ if the opinion of someone else makes them feel good about themselves or if it soothes the uneasy feelings that their fears cause. That’s why they’re into following and believing all kinds of populists, mediums and religions, fear mongers, smooth talking politicians, etc that tell them what they want to hear.
You say intelligent people should read and study more when they come up with questions that need to be answered. Next you say stupid people follow politics, religion etc. That being said who do you think wrote the books the “intelligent people” are gonna read for answers? Its a bit of a paradox when you break it down because everything is just opinion by nature of solipsism. You are putting your faith into books and others into a bible and you call them stupid and you smart? Calm down your ego for there is no stupid people, its just mans tendency to judge others.

The most intelligent and skilled believe there is room for improvement. Actively looking to be challenged, learning through constructive criticism, seeing different perspectives, new ideas, always changing and growing.
Beautifully articulated. It's a dying breed. I also observe those obsessed with making someone else look bad or demonizing a person or group, are really the very monster they claim to be against. It's unfortunate and unfathomable people believe money, celebrity or education gives automatic wisdom. Is it just easier to be stupid or is there something unfulfilled within ourselves they desperately seek in manufactured and deceptive narratives.

"I don't know" is easily on my top 3 list of replies. Am not afraid to say this even if I do kinda know what's going on. It's either that or "I'm not sure". They'll have to explain again and I'll just have a higher understanding of what they said before or maybe even catch something I missed? Kinda like measuring twice before you cut something I guess? Although people with short tempers usually do not find this amusing.
I think its a mistake to get hung up on the issue of whether someone is average, above or below, what matters is whether what you think is true is actually true. What matters is whether one is genuinely careful in making up one's mind about what is true, and whether one continues to have an open mind to reassess when presented with contrary evidence. One thing I would say about the average person is at that he/she is pretty poor at this, at least that's the conclusion I have come over the decades of adult life. Most significantly this includes the average expert. Question, question everything!

It is too painful to admit “Guess my belief was wrong.” Easier to just pretend the evidence doesn’t exist, or is flawed, or was falsified.

The problem I see most often is experts in one field assuming they are experts in other fields of study.
Funny the problem i see the most is when experts of different fields point out the obvious flaws in other fields and the experts in them bring out the magic juice argument(I'm a expert and you are wrong).
Exactly, that’s why we major in one thing. We need others to be good at things we aren’t because no one can be the best at everything
This is a separate but related effect, where people with above average knowledge in one field will either assume they have above average knowledge in a different field (or at least people will make this assumption about their opinions). Can't recall the name for it, but it's pretty much the reason why 'famous people' think their opinion on unrelated fields is important.

i didnt imply everyone has one, but if you do, it might help.
Essentially its the same basic thing, worded differently. Much in line with "The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt"
Its a very similar premise that fits with the Dunning-Krueger.
Languages tend to not translate directly, and what appears to have a direct meaning often has a colloquial meaning as well. Such as a Laotian insult that states "You have difficulty finding clothes" and the meaning is you are fat. I know how to say it, but no way in hell can I spell it. Finnish insults are hilariously crass, they would make Aussies recoil in amazement, and sjws from the states would get the vapors... which has no meaning in other languages.

I call it the horizon effect, you don't know what would make you better until you get there, you just gotta dedicate yourself to improving and then find out whats next
If you don't know what makes you better, how do you know that you got there?
@@theH0UNDSofD00M so I dedicated myself to improving at golf, right away I found a technique to dramatically improve my shots, increased distance and constancy, but there is so much more to learn, then in the mental game, our bodies don't know what a 'don't' is only a 'do' so you don't want to confuse your body with 'do not' signals, like 'don't slice it', just tell it what you want to happen, and don't go out of your 'comfort zone' if you can only just hit it forward, do that
I also dedicated myself to learning a new juggling trick a day, the more tricks I learn, the more it opens up for more tricks to learn
I always gauge how people treat me and how much they are willing to tell me they like (or even dislike) me and use that as a way to asses how competent or incompetent I am. These days of PC makes it harder because now people are terrified of being honest. Sometimes you can figure things based on the amount of latent hostility and back-stabbery you get at the workplace, especially if you are a woman. The better you are at a job, the more attacks you will get, but all incompetent people love an underperformer they can blame. And in government work, employees learn to keep the worst people around while doing their utmost to get the talented and efficient people out.

I think the difference between a smart person and a stupid person, is that a smart person recognizes how little they actually know. Knowledge is really just learning how much you have left to learn. Anyone who thinks that they have all the answers, probably has far less answers than the people who admittedly know very little.

I’ve lived in the same house for 40 years, and the climate in my backyard hasn’t changed. No species have actually disappeared. We have the same wild plants (you might call them weeds); Purslane, Salsify, Goatheads, Silverleaf Nightshade, Black Nightshade, Kochia, Lamb’s Quarters, Amaranth, Wild Mustard, Native Clump grasses, and Dandelions. In my front yard, Prickly Pear Cactus volunteers (seeded by birds) and Spiny Goldenweed.Only one species of reptile-Aspidoscelis neomexicanus. Harvester Ants, “Sugar” Ants, two species of Grasshoppers, Chinese Praying Mantis (Invasive but welcome)Lady Bugs, Leaf Hoppers, Darkling and Dermestid Beetles, Cottonwood Borer Beetles, Black Crickets, Paper Wasps, Yellow Jacket Wasps, Hawk Moths, Noctuid Moths, the occasional Monarch, Tiger Swallowtail and Cabbage Butterflies, the Oriental Cockroach (invasive, unwelcome) and a Mediterranean Cockroach (invasive, unwelcome)-and Sowbugs, not insects, but… . For Spiders, we have two species of Wolf Spiders, two species of Jumping Spiders, Western Black Widows, 2 species of Crab Spiders, Yellow Sac Spiders (invasive, unwelcome), Southern House Spiders,Psilochirus, Herpyllus, Dysdera, Oecobius, Lithyphantes and Clubiona. For birds, we have Flickers, Robins, Sparrows, House Finches, Road Runners, Cooper’s Hawks, Screech Owls, Barn Owls, Mourning Doves-being pressured out of the area by Eurasian Collared Doves (invasive, but good eating) and Grackles (invasive) who ran out the equally invasive Starlings. Only a few mammals-I live in a fairly large city: Squirrels (don’t know the variety), Field Mice, Skunks and Raccoons.
It’s true that we’re going through a period of several years of drought, but fossil trees from the area have growth rings that indicate that we’ve had droughts lasting for more than a century. Some Summers are hotter than others, some Winters colder than others, some entire years wetter/dryer than others. In the end, though, it’s the same mile-high Rocky Mountain scrub desert it’s always been. The sky ain’t falling.
Remember, when you drive your SUV and your cows are farting, you’re RISKING THE LIVES OF 8 BILLION PEOPLE who will almost certainly die from climate change, and so the punishment for your crime is you have to PAY A TAX. If you build hand grenades in your garage without proper licenses, you risk the lives of your family, and maybe the family next door to your garage-RISKING THE LIVES OF PERHAPS 10 PEOPLE in all, the punishment is 20 YEARS IN A FEDERAL PRISON. Hmmmm…
A great book by actual scientists that don’t live on govt grant money stolen from the paychecks of taxpayers is “Hot Talk, Cold Science” by S. Fred Singer, David R. Legates and Anthony R. Lupo. They state that none of the “harm” you’re being told is happening is actually happening to the Earth or any of it’s inhabitants. There is NO empirical evidence that any of the claims of the dangers of “Greenhouse Gases” exists, nor have any of these claims ever been proven, nor is there any evidence to support the claims. Instead of evidence,”CLIMATE CHANGE” COMPUTER MODELS HAVE BEEN CREATED that allegedly prove their wild claims. A COMPUTER MODEL IS A COMPUTER PROGRAM THAT DOES WHAT IT WAS CREATED TO DO. Excel can total a column of numbers because that’s what it was created to do: crunch numbers, and Climate models were created to increase the temperatures automatically, once entered into the system from the raw data received from satellites that collect the actual temperatures on the ground all over the world, all day, all night. Remember, when your smiling, lying elected officials tell you about a dangerous situation that can only be solved by you paying higher taxes, the problem is that your lying elected officials want more of your money, and want to convince you that it’s somehow your own fault.
One last fun fact: Cows DON’T fart…

It's somewhat disconcerting to look back and see so much Dunning-Kruger in my own life, especially when I realize how much I built my life around my own incompetence.
I've always been interested in writing and other creative endeavors. I always thought I'd be a professional author when I was a kid. I spent a lot of my early adulthood thinking I would create video games. I've spent so much time an energy into these these things, thinking I was great, but without actually looking for ways to improve myself or seeking proper critique. I just thought I was great.
Maybe it was just ego. Maybe I even was still "better than average" in some certain regards (since no skill can truly be summed up in single value,) but I still look back and see so much time and energy that I wasted just because I didn't truly strive to improve myself. If I had an idea of how much more improving I really needed to do, I could have started improving myself so much sooner, and by now I could have actually been good at this.
I grew up as the "not too smart" child and it did a number on my conference. Throughout high school, my geography teacher would tell me how much my older brother was smart and getting distinctions but I was getting 50s. I cried a lot because our parents never made us believe one was smarter than the other. Long story short, I decided to put in the work, to apply the effort and it's been five years since then and I work hard, developed a reading hobby and now I feel more dumb😂😂.
I'm happy I met that teacher, he helped me.
