Dunning-Kruger effect

[Zoot Allures]

A term we should all be familiar with.

The more limited someone is in reality, the more talented the person imagines himself to be. Or, as David Dunning and Justin Kruger put it in the title of their original scientific-journal article, “Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One’s Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments.”

Odds are that the world’s most flamboyant illustration of this dangerous misperception, Donald Trump, despite his claimed omniscience, would not even recognize the term, nor its ominous implications in his case.


Also some TERB members such as Ceiling Cat with his board hogging threads ...

I agree LOL. Jimmy Carter said his followers wanted change and were willing to toss the dice. If they knew how to listen critically to what he said he would have lost.


Actually, he lost in a landslide but the ridiculous electoral college got him in. That and Clinton supporters never came out like Trumps did

Me, I know I am dumb and seek advice when needed but smart enough to know when not to listen. At least that is what I tell myself

This is something I see all the time.
Whenever, I teach first year economics, I start with stuff on how to do well in the course (it has a high failure rate). I finish my advice with the Dunning-Kruger and tell them that the ones least likely to think they need my advice are the most likely to actually need it. On the other hand, those least likely to need the advice are the most likely to listen to it.
BTW, although Dunning-Kruger were the first provide real evidence of it, the idea goes way back. For example, Darwin said “Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge”.

Well said.

Did you mean omnipotence because Trump has stated he is the Chosen one

or did you mean impotence that can be because he has allegedly sexually assaulted at least 17 women.
