[@cewla3348]

@@Phonixrmf hello! that graph of the dunning-krueger effect isn't the one found in the study. This video was made with a dunning-krueger effect somewhere in production. The actual effect goes that people's actual results are a straight, diagonal line (x = y), but the expected results are biased towards people with low scores estimating higher, and high scores estimating lower. (x/2+75 = y+50). To view something like this on Desmos, plug in two formulas: \frac{x}{2}+75=y+50 x\ =\ y the top one is the estimated scores, and the bottom one is the actual scores. They intercept at 50, where someone who got about 50% on a test would say they got about 50%, however at 0% the estimated score is 25%. Inversely, someone who got 100% would believe themself to get 75%. There is no hill of idiocracy, or valley of wisdom, or whatever you want to call it. It's just two straight lines intercepting at 50.

Technically it's not bias blind spot if you actually remove all other biases, but it's practically impossible to remove all bias. But in the hypothetical scenario in which you would remove them, you acknowledging that wouldn't be bias blind spot.

[@36inc]

yeah thats cause a bias isnt really a flaw- alot of these traits have evolutionary reasons for existing like how we trust authority and make leaders that way. you learn them to manage them not to delete them. if you can recognize which bias you may be approaching with or stop yourself when ya notice you simplifying things you may be able to course correct, reconsider, or improve your respect for the issue. but its impossible to fully be aware cause youre memory lacks the ability to stay as vivid permanently. ive relearned lessons i thought i fully adopted but then i came at information less like a collection of smart things and more like a discipline that i have to practice. when the bias works with you is stuff like social justice or advocacy. as just seeing your hand on destiny is a different function from directing it.

Also, due to the effect that it's very condensed, some bias are not well explained. For example, the moral credential effect should be you justifying bad actions with good actions that you did in the past. Not you being less good at a later time because you did something good in the past, otherwise you would be forced to be doing gradually better things infinitely.

I regularly experience the inverted Bandwagon Effect. I tend to be actively nonconformist, and the more people gush about something I know literally nothing about, I'm less and less inclined to interact with it. I've been avoiding Mad Max: Fury Road for eight bloody years now specifically because of that -- everyone was gushing about good storytelling with minimal dialogue, and all I'm seeing is a series of (admittedly, really impressive) stunts and a literal "nothing" story. Ironically enough, I freaking *_love_* John Wick, and I'm certain it's because I watched it before I started hearing people fall in love with it. All I heard before seeing it was "It's like Bourne except good," and I sat through the first two Bournes with my dad. I liked them both fine, but the action gave me a damn headache.

On the bright side, I now have official terms to use to describe these biases!

If it was a winning ticket, the parent would probably award the child. If it was a losing ticket, the parent would probably reprimand the child harshly.

[@keithwinget6521]

I don't think it applies to sudden influxes of particular ads on KZbin, though. I have other information besides my own observation to corroborate with, so I suppose one way to assure a bias isn't culpable for skewing your perspective is to verify any observation with other methods of observing that you can do. In this case, I can find that ads are served on a basis of interest determined by some algorithm I'm not privy to the inner workings of. I can at least assume that it caters toward what it expects me to find interest in, because that would benefit the marketing more than serving ads at random. I can conclude that I notice more of a certain kind of ad, because there really is more of a certain kind of ad, because my interests feed back into the system that serves them up. It still might be an incorrect conclusion. There could be any number of other factors at play, but I at least found one other possible point of corroboration. It's important to contain my certainty to just that, though, otherwise I'm sure to have fallen prey to one or more of the other biases (and likely have besides).

Yeah. Many of these biases are psychological effects on humans that we are not always necessarily at fault as people for. I think what’s most important though, isn’t not being affected by any sort of bias, (since that’s psychologically impossible as people will often use bias against you that you can’t avoid) but making sure you don’t use your bias in harmful ways against others. And if such does occur, take responsibility. :D

Best way to fact biases is to assert values. This is what adults (well, the decent ones) do to limit the inanity of their own actions. Exemple of class : - I am 100% responsible of my own results AND - It is the teacher job to teach the student Therefore, if I do bad, the correct action for me should be to seek another teacher, whose method of teaching will work better with me. Not always possible in the frame of school, but that is why school is mostly irrelevant. If you are forced to learn, you are sure to do it poorly.

The mere exposure effect makes alot of sense to those in a workplace setting. I know I wasn't really liked or disliked in the place I worked, as time went on people began forming their opinions and connections with me, some good, some bad, and not for any reason then I was there for a long time, I showed up and did the same task day in and day out, no drama and kept to myself, so people only liked or disliked me based on the mere exposure effect. Really interesting.

[@lobear3074]

What? bro what are you talking about, did you completely miss what I said? The point is that they became more comfortable opening up and having conversation with me, its not because of the conversations I had, because I dont really have many for the length that I have been employed, in other words my personality and conversations were the same from when I got hired till now, all thats changed is my length of time with people, and yet people have rather grown to like me or dislike me, not for any other reason then spending alot of time around me and no one really outside of that work environment.

[@krillizbeatboysoffical]

It’s hard to think about, but everyone has at least one of these biases. Unless you’re somehow perfect, your human mind physically cannot function with a unique personality, if you don’t have some sort of flaw in it, and this video is a great way to come to terms with that. I personally struggle a lot with underestimating myself when it comes to the things I’m familiar with, but always thinking things will turn out fine if I just live my life. Sure enough, Dunning Kruger is a good description of that. Great video, very informative.

[@nyggo5796]

This video is brilliant! Not only does it the video explain the biases in an excellent manner, it avoids targeting using contemporary examples from politics, religion, or other hot button issues as examples. I found many websites and channels who seemingly use arguments from ideologies they disagree with: it tends to come off as a passive aggressive to me. But this video didn't do that once. I found the use of symbols for each cognitive bias very clever. Have you considered making flash cards for purchase or digital flash cards for distribution?

The Dunning-Kruger effect would be one I've become most aware of in hindsight. My two examples are playing the violin and driving manual. For the violin, I started in 5th grade and was good enough to play in the all-city orchestra that got to play in the city's largest concert hall. I continued to think I was so good at it through middle school where the pieces we were playing weren't much more difficult than the pieces we played for all-city. Huge dip in confidence when I got to high school and felt left behind in concert class. (the stages of difficulty are beginning, concert, and chamber) High school is where I actually started learning real techniques and steadily began to regain confidence in my skill. I remained in concert all four years, and even got to perform on Carnegie Hall my senior year. There is still so much for me to learn and still feel like a fledgling violinist even after just over eight years of playing. For driving manual I am luckily now escaping the dip. I started learning the month I got my license. My family had the car two months before my license so I could've tried learning when I still had my learners permit but was honestly scared of the machine. It took me longer than I'd like to admit to start getting consistent with not stalling from a stop. A few months after I started to get the hang of it I thought of myself as a professional for going a WHOLE WEEK without stalling (never mind shifts were still taking longer than a second). These few years later manual driving has become automatic and can somewhat consistently shift as fast or faster than the automatics of my car's year (2007 Si for those curious) and stalls have become a maybe once a month occurrence. I feel I'm not quite out of the dip yet though because I've only been a manual driver for 3 years, and driver in general 4 and a half. I'll consider myself out of the dip when I finally figure out heel-toeing and get a few more years under my belt. Sorry for the mini essay, didn't realize until the end lol.

[@majorbajor]

The high school situation could also be attributed to the big-fish-little-pond-effect

[@kujojotarostandoceanman2641]

Dunning Kruger effect have a big misconception about "higher level higher overestimation", however the original paper actually suggest people at any point of level have about the same ratio of self overestimation, the difference is very very small that it can be concluded to apply in any instances of your judgement all being overestimation

[@Templarfreak]

5:52 it's important to note that this is meant to apply to situations where the authority figure is not an expert in their field but is just a random authority figure. for example, a politician that is not a climate scientist claiming that their opinion on climate science is the correct one. this is authority bias. what is NOT authority bias is a climate scientist stating facts about climate science. yes, a climate scientist could still say incorrect things about climate science, but to say that in general a climate scientist is equally trustworthy as a politician that has no background or history or documented education in the field, or to say that a climate scientist's opinions and knowledge in the field of climate science should not be trusted or should be scrutinized just because they are an authority figure, is a bias in of itself.

[@RuthvenMurgatroyd]

You're missing the point. That's still a bias its just not necessarily misplaced or fallacious.

[@Templarfreak]

@@RuthvenMurgatroyd no, it is not bias to believe an *expert in their field* when they are talking about their field. it is completely reasonable to do so, and not only that, it is also 100% absolutely bias to claim that believing an expert in their field on the subject of their expertise is bias. whether what they say is correct or not is not inherently bias to believe it, especially if what they are saying is *provably and factually* incorrect. the problem with presenting experts as inherently not being trustworthy because they are an authority figure is that it gives credence to the idea that what they are saying should *always* be scrutinized and could *always* be inherently untrue, which is *not always* the case when what they are saying *is* an *objectively and independently verifiable fact.* and when you give people this power by saying any authority figure is inherently subject to being biased for being an authority figure, you end up with many problems that we have today: flat earthers, young earthers, people believing that things like the bible are indisputable fact, anti-vax, etc. to be more clear, though: a climate scientist talking about topics that a politician _should_ generally be an expert in is just as problematic, though. such as politics, economics, campaigning strategy, etc. it goes both ways.

[@RuthvenMurgatroyd]

@@Templarfreak No one argued that authority figures are inherently untrustworthy. The point was that people have a bias towards authority figures and as you pointed out this can be exploited. Does it then follow that it is a mistake to trust authority figures? No, not at all. Bias just means that this information is weighted more heavily.

[@Templarfreak]

​@@RuthvenMurgatroyd let's start from the beginning: it really seems like we do not have an agreement on what the meaning of bias is. the meaning of bias is to favor something over something else with no inherently objective reasoning for why, or in an unfair or unreasonable way. to favor an authority figure *who is an expert in their field* is *completely objective and reasonable.* they have qualifications, they have history, and their facts can be independently verified to be true and generally tend to be true. to favor a politician who is *not an expert* on the same subject *is not objective.* their qualifications are in *politics,* not in for example fields of science. it is important to scrutinize and independently verify what they say, because there is no guarantee that their facts are true because they lack history or qualifications and often do not provide the means to independently verify what they are saying. this is not the case when the authority figure we are talking about *does* have qualifications and history, though. it is *not* unreasonable to assert that a scientist who is an expert in their field is going to _generally_ be correct when they talk about it. this IS the case when the authority figure has *NO* qualifications, though. in this case, this is *completely unreasonable.* when they have no qualifications, there is not a level of assurance that what they are stating is true or that it has no motivation outside of stating facts. when we claim appeal to authority, 99% of the time, the appeal is to a leader that, generally, people trust. after all, if they were elected to be a leader, why would they lie? well, it's usually very easy for people that have no idea what they are talking about to lie, especially when they are really good liars and stand to gain a lot from lying. that is the problem appeal to authority is trying to point out in people's minds. NOT authority figures who genuinely do know what they are talking about, stand to gain nothing from lying or at least stand to lose a lot from lying, and do not need to lie when they already do know the facts.

[@grunkleg.3110]

No no, it happens with authority figures within a field as well. For example, if a pro-baseball player says a new rule is bad, people will agree with him just because he's good at the game

That is the very popular but wrong dunning-kruger effect visual. The actual dunning-kruger effect was observed on a group of university students who had to rate their performance after doing a written exam. The ones who did worst consistently rated themselves as doing slightly better, while the ones who did best consistently rated themselves as doing slightly worse. It is not as extreme as the visual suggests. A person who did worse will not think they got a score as high as the people who got a good score, but they will assume that they got a better score than they actually got.
