Self control is seen as something distasteful and shallow coping mechanisms are glorified.

You learn so much to be able to answer every questions given and score full marks in every exam. Until one point you reach the pinnacle of university education, you will discover the truth of what the education system should actually be. You will learn so much, everything, anything...just to find a question that nobody thinks could have existed. Then it will be a lifetime journey to form at least an acceptable answer. Afterwards those after your time will pick up your question and answer to build up upon them...creating even more unanswerable questions and incomplete answers. At that point you will understand the true magnitude of knowledge and how miniscule we really are...

[@american-professor]

I think this effect stems from the fact that when we start to learn, let's say, a new science, we easily learn the basics, because they are usually simple, so our confidence goes up. Upon further learning we realize how much there's more to learn. We learn more and more about the things we need to learn in order to be an expert. So we feel less confident about our current abilities because we understand there's much more we don't know than we know. But as we keep going, this "unknown" portion keeps shrinking and our knowledge keeps increasing. So we become more confident in ourselves.

I think this does not work with science and math because you always know how much you know. and how much you don't know.

[@rhmayer1]

Teaching is ALWAYS the best way to learn. There's something about having to explain it to someone else that both solidifies the basics and fundamentals but simultaneously brings to the surface unknown aspects that give you pause before opening your mouth. "Simple" questions that beginners ask can often surprisingly bore directly into and focus right onto those unknown aspects. And "from the mouths of babes" can come questions that provide the deepest insights. I love teaching, for both generous and selfish reasons. I love seeing light-bulbs and inspiration in others, but also I know the more I teach the more I learn. Essentially, everyone is both teacher and student. I learn from everyone - that janitor, that homeless person, that stranger... Everyone has something you can learn from. Every conversation with every person has something for you to learn.

Way back in 1975, I took swimming lessons. One of the very first lessons our class was taught was that it's not the beginning swimmer or the experienced swimmer at the greatest risk for drowning. It is the intermediate swimmers who take the greatest chances thinking they can go farther or longer than they're ability level. They are at the greatest risk to drown.

[@rhmayer1]

That seems maybe true, but would not be the DK-effect. The effect you describe, if drawn on the same Confidence-Knowledge chart would look like a hill, starting low, growing high, then going back down - with that highest (dangerous) confidence in the middle, rather than at the beginning like the DK-effect. In your example, the beginning swimmer knows they can't swim well and is therefore properly cautious (since they DON'T die, as much as the intermediate swimmer). Interesting variation from the DK-effect. Thanks.

Irony requires a double meaning and you really should read the paper because the common description is simply wrong. The curve of self-assessment is flatter than ability. We are all biased toward the mean.

​@@nathanlevesque7812 _"you really should read the paper because the common description is simply wrong"_ Yep, this video isn't even close, the actual graph (from the actual study) showing perceived ability vs actual score consists of two, pretty much, linear plots (not these made up curves in this video) that don't intersect until around the 4th quartile, basically two rising values that cross towards the end of the 'perceived ability' range.

[@zalamael]

That is the last stage. I learned something similar in a leadership lecture. People start out unconsciously unskilled, as in, they know very little, but they are ignorant of how much there is to know. Then when they learn how much they don't know, they become consciously unskilled. Over time, they become unconsciously skilled, due to their lack of confidence in themselves (due to having their ego previously deflated when they realised how little they know). And then finally, the last step, consciously skilled, when you realise you know almost all of it and became skilled without even realising.

[@fivestring65ify]

@@zalamael This is when you can pass your knowledge onto someone else.

[@zalamael]

@@fivestring65ify Yeah, but it only works if they choose to listen. Most people don't like to hear any criticism of themselves, which is why they become delusional is the first place. The sad reality is, most people were raised by poor parents who knew nothing of real leadership. And they grow up to be children, masquerading as adults, but always with the same neediness for fake praise and no criticism. The true path to growing up, to stop behaving like a child, and taking the rite of passage into adulthood, is being able to admit your own flaws, and grow up to deal with them. Real adults crave criticism (as long as it is honest), because they want feedback. Children and immature adults love fake praise, and hate honest criticism, because they are basically praise junkies. They would rather live in a world of lies that praises them, than an honest world which says "you need to be more".

There’s a bit more to Dunning and Kruegers research than just explaining Mt Stupid and the valley of despair. One of the studies they did was an survey of students taking an exam. They asked the students before taking the test to rate how they thought they would do and then again after they had taken the test and predict their scores. The lowest scoring students all tended to predict higher scores than they actually got and their predictions had the widest margin of error. On the other end of the scale, the top performing students not only tended to underestimate their actual scores but (more importantly) we’re the most accurate in their predictions. The real lesson here, that many people ignore, is that people who are most knowledgeable in a given subject are also most able to accurately assess their own level of competence. So if you want to get good at something, be it an academic field, a sport, a hobby, video games, art or whatever it may be, learning to accurately assess your own performance will help you immensely. Now obviously just knowing that won’t immediately improve your performance, you have to learn how to critique yourself and learn what is and is not important. But making honest and accurate self-reflection a habit is a great way to improve.

Alexander Pope quote.

[@friendlyone2706]

Actually, he said "learning" not knowledge A Little Learning by Alexander Pope A little learning is a dangerous thing ; Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring : There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, And drinking largely sobers us again. Fired at first sight with what the Muse imparts, In fearless youth we tempt the heights of Arts ; While from the bounded level of our mind Short views we take, nor see the lengths behind, But, more advanced, behold with strange surprise New distant scenes of endless science rise ! So pleased at first the towering Alps we try, Mount o’er the vales, and seem to tread the sky ; The eternal snows appear already past, And the first clouds and mountains seem the last ; But those attained, we tremble to survey The growing labours of the lengthened way ; The increasing prospect tires our wandering eyes, Hills peep o’er hills, and Alps on Alps arise !

I believe the key - is to know how long to put up the good fight and to not argue our own truths with others less than ourselves.
