Imagine sitting in prison and being haunted by the fact that you thought lemon juice made you invisible to cameras.

The world would be a much better place if more people understood that blind confidence comes from ignorance more than knowledge.
-
YouTube comments sections are the greatest example of this effect in practice. The fact that people have no accountability and are anonymous amplifies this by several thousand times.

When you’re dead you don’t know you’re dead. All the pain is felt by others. The same thing happens when you’re stupid.

That's why there are quotes saying empty cans makes the loudest sound

I'm a writer, and got caught in this trap. When I first started out I actually thought I was pretty good. Many rejection slips resulted. I persevered for a while but eventually stopped writing. Looking back I realise I stopped just as I was getting to a publishable standard. I've taken it up again, and have a novel coming out at the end of the month.

This is why there is the saying, " a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing'.

This is why everyone on the internet is the expert, and the experts stay quiet. Also why many people rate themselves SO high on a work self-assessment in all areas.

"The people who are scariest to me are the people who don't even know enough to realize how little they know." - Thomas Sowell

I used to live in Alaska so naturally I got used to driving in ice and snow. I moved back down to the lower 48 and one time me and some friends were going to go somewhere, but a snowstorm came in. Since I had more experience in that weather I was going to drive. After a little while I said we had to turn back. My friend asked why since I knew how to drive in snow. I told him I knew enough to know the conditions were too bad to attempt it.

That's why a mindset of curiosity is important. Always knowing there's more to learn even when you think there's nothing else

I have been in industrial maintenance for 40 years. This is completely accurate. Few things are more dangerous than the new guy who thinks he knows how things work. I have been working on the equipment for decades. I understand it well. But the most important thing I know is when to dig into the books or call for outside help because no one can know it all.

About 4 years ago, I printed out the original paper by dunning and Kruger, but I never read it, because I think the irony is funny when I tell people about the effect
-
How long can a society run on the Dunning- Krueger effect. This is a perfect description of American politics.

That simpleton is literally every politician... They know nothing about the subject but project full confidence( come on... Guys ...I just commented to make my point... People here are making worthless arguments.... I guess part of system

Should rename this the 'donald tRump' effect now..........
