People here grossly overestimate their expertise in areas they've never studied, amirite?

As a multiple PhD, test pilot, brain surgeon, and Nobel prize winning economist, let me welcome you to the internet.

I am none of those. I'm simply an expert in all amateur knowledge. I know nothing about everything, therefore I can never find myself in the wrong.

Not just here my friend. Life is full of examples of the Dunning Kruger effect. Basically every conspiracy theory relies on it.

What kills me is, even if you don't understand, the simplest explanation that requires the fewest people to shut up about it is the correct explanation. Every time. There's a saying about how two people can only keep a secret if one of them is dead. The reality is one person can't keep a secret if they leave the room.

OP is correct but: sometimes actual experts show up to spread context and knowledge. It's marvelous when that happens.

Then someone will argue with them out of their ass and accuse them of Dunning-Kruger like it's a mic drop and leave.

I can agree somewhat, but I think there's something to be said about someone going 'well I'm a *field of study*' and then saying something that's glaringly and categorically false.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Most men just say things confidently when it might not be true, as a boy I started tallying up against who said what, started realising nothing was correlating had this terrible realisation men just said things outright as if it was true all the time, some people bought it others dont the ones that did buy it regurgitate this to other followers, misinformation spreads was really confusing me for a long time with all these random facts flying around whilst i wondered which ones to believe, thank god for the internet setting things straight

It's the result of fast food books and YouTube channels. You hear a lot of interesting things that sounds plausible, and feel comfortable repeating these talking points. Until you hear something that's actually in your area of expertise then it's "oh no!"

Probably just because of the level of comfort in talking behind a keyboard/anonymity. I'm no expert

"Ask an expert" online is often a case of getting the right answer to the wrong question. "What should I use to drill into a stud wall?" "Thanks for nothing, that drill bit wouldn't go through the concrete"

Actually you are completely wrong, every basic theory of philosophy says that people never overestimate that. I'm right.

It's called the dunnig-kruger effect. Stupid people often think they are smart because they are not aware of what they don't know.
