[@alexlilano1931]

I used to get criticized for being unsure of stuff by stupid people. I was called stupid from stupid people. They want me to be confidently ignorant. I didn’t buy into it. I did really well in school and life by being uncertain and humble. The uncertainty made me dig deeper for the truth. I also notice stupid people are more likely to call another person stupid because they project. I used to hang out with losers because I feel bad for them, but they project and end calling everybody else losers and critical of other people when they live with their parents at 40, never had a girlfriend, and never work a day in his life. There is no saving losers who don’t want to be saved.

Kinda sad honestly

[@----.__]

At least you understand your weakness. I fall the other way, and it's just as bad. I spend so much time focusing on tiny details that I often don't have time to study the whole. I'm an electrical engineer and in my early years in the 80's I initially had trouble comprehending exactly how electrical charge propagates down a conductor. My class mates were happy to accept that "it just does" but I spent weeks reading as much as I could to understand the sub-atomic nature of electricity. There's nothing sad about you at all mate. Being self-conscious is not such a bad thing, at least you pay attention to how your words and actions affect others. Do you know what's bad though? People who aren't self-conscious, and walk around leaving pain and destruction everywhere they go by virtue of their insufferable nature. I don't know you, but I like the way you think, and that's good enough for me. Peace.

When I was starting the journey to my career, I looked ahead at successes and failures in people and tried to see if there was a common pattern with people in each group. There was.

This video made me the expert in The Dunning-Kruger Effect wink wink nudge nudge LOL

[@jackedward293]

Great quality, very informative

[@Waffles4903]

To be honest, whenever I learn something new, absolutely without fail, I never can never help but feel like I took one step forward, and two steps back.

[@matchrocket1702]

Once I learned of D-K, saw it in action and had time to think about it I came to understand that I had a severe case of it. I do still of course but at least I have a chance to spot it. There was one time, however, in the time when I was far to the left of the D-K curve, I took a pre-employment test for a programming job at a large insurance company. When I was interviewed after the test I was asked how well I thought I did on it. I nailed it. Not quite good enough. I didn't get the job of course. Not sure why they even bothered with the interview.

[@zacharyparis]

I can’t tell you what this video means but I can tell you I’m a fucking genius.

[@elevatorman7945]

I love that you added a positive outlook

[@scotthartley9755]

You did a good job on this video man.

[@davidste]

Big fan of your work 🙌

And by that effect is that we're in such a tough spot. People doing their "research" on viruses and vaccines. Just a side note: At work it's more about who do you know and connections than your actual skill and knowledge. Not always but more often than not.

[@honkhonk8009]

imo the more boring someone makes something, i feel like the more right they are lmfao. if they make it sound boring, it usually means they have numbers to back up what they say.

Omicron is 70x as transmissable as Delta, which was already 2x as transmissible as the original COVID virus. Regular masks had a small impact on spread with the original virus. With Omicron, masks literally do almost nothing (unless it's an N95). The hospitalization rate for Omicron is looking to be 10x LOWER than Delta, and vaccines are looking to be only like 37% effective against Omicron.

[@issac9930]

Also fun fact. It takes like 1,000 unvaxxed people that need to be banned from a flight to prevent 1 instance of COVID being spread (this was prior to Omicron which is way more infectious)

[@stillwithu_V]

Thank you.. It was really useful

[@okeyokey578]

i found about dunning kruger effect years ago just watching peeps around and how they behave :) good video doe keep em coming

[@carter8556]

Now that I watched this 15 minute video on the Dunning-Kruger effect, I can now confidently say that I am an expert on the subject. or at least above average 😉

Now I feel like I can Explain The dunning cruger effect perfectly at today's dinner with my cousins

[@brunodosreis]

Before you start calling people “dumb”, please consider this: People can be highly competent and knowledgeable in a certain domain without knowing the associated statistical data. Teachers who grade students, usually have no clue how they really compare to other teachers. They’re more likely familiar with statistical data about students than teachers. For example. Are you smarter than the average KZbin commenter?

[@shotakonkin2047]

I'm not sure if I'm a genius but I've met people in comment sections who believe they know what they're talking about only for me to figure out they truly had no understanding.

[@theninjaofmusic]

Yes. Because I'm smarter than the average person. And I'd venture to guess the intelligence distribution on KZbin is fairly similar to that of the general population.

[@sarahfolla4816]

The only thing I know is that the more I scroll through the comment section, the more confused I am...

[@time_371]

A bad takeaway from this would be to think if you are great at something you _must_ not know about it. You can look at a few handful scientists, musicians, visual artists etc, who are the bottom of the bottom when it comes to being loud and obnoxious and they’re aware of how great they are. That one is pretty difficult to see cz it breaks the romanticisation that knowledge and arrogance are _necessarily_ inversely proportional.

[@taliesin171]

thankyou, i now have an above average understanding of the Dunning Kruger effect.

[@maulikjadav9673]

I love your videos. Keep creating good content. 👍

[@garicrewsen1128]

I appreciate this video. I often fall prey, probably daily, to this effect. I'm curious if this effect is operating after about 30, maybe with a more progressive phase about age 50-60 years of age when humans enter the cognitive stage of stagnation (not just losing the capacity to learn new subjects, but losing the desire to learn those subjects as well, and whether that loss of desire is what dictates to our respective selves if that capacity to learn remains strong) when we become more rooted to long held beliefs with our supporting opinions clouding any desire to learn more than we believe we need to. I'm not sure if I've posed this question in a way that is easily understood. Forgive me, please? Input regarding this phenom would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Cheers!🍻

[@theKOJAK]

now that i watched this video i can confidently say that i am an expert in the dunning kruger effect

[@aman979]

Great work keep up 🌱

[@Distorzzion]

Thanks! Now I know everything there is to know about the dunning Kruger effect

[@damionalbarr7961]

Seems a lot of people here in America is suffering from this effect

[@hensen5309]

As a gymnastics teacher, I’ve observed this effect my whole teaching career I just couldn’t name it. 50% of children I’ve taught over a 6 year span always think they know more than they really do as soon as they pick up a few skills. Those students will almost always stagnate and even sometimes quit because they (their parents) don’t feel like they are progressing. The parents take them to a different gym, and a couple months later we hear through the grapevine that the kid has quit that gym as well. 25% of kids don’t even care they are there and are just existing. The other 25% are the good ones. The attentive, usually more articulate, observational, comprehensive and just all around better students are at. There’s an even smaller percentage of that good group that is almost the perfect child to teach that is like a robot. I’ve only had one named Abigail. Bless her. Anyway, thank you for the information.

[@hensen5309]

@Nova robotic in the sense that the child can intake information and physically act it out almost the first time you explain a concept to them

[@LuckyStrange]

Learning alot from your video. Thank u

[@billrhea]

As a photographer I run into this all the time. So many people think they know but have no idea. I am always in my own head thinking I know very little. I’m always looking to improve.

[@kingslayer2553]

if you are in doubt, or curious all the time, rejoice, you're intelligent!🔥

[@MrKatielee16]

Thank you - seems like the more curious you are, the more ostracized you might feel after trying to make connections with others. Everyone’s an expert and you’re the idiot, except that you’re not and they are. Wonder if there’s any relationship between D-K and gaslighting

[@----.__]

@@MrKatielee16 Gaslighting only works on those who can't think critically. For anyone with any semblance of analytical prowess, gaslighting is nothing more than satire.

[@tristanneal9552]

Perfect example of this is people on the internet talking about science. So what you're saying is you watched a KZbin video on vaccines or climate science and now you think your voice should have equal weight in discussions with people who've literally dedicated their entire lives to studying the subject...?

[@arpita1shrivas]

this video just told me that i have more inflated ego than i ever thought i did and at the same time, the least ego i've never thought i would have.
