BaalChatzaf Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 The Kruger-Dunning effect is a psychological bias where the less able grossly overestimate their cognitive ability.

Jonathan Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I'd go with Obama as the poster child. Massive overconfidence, including when being confronted with his failures. He was 100% certain that his beliefs and theories were right, regardless of what happened in reality. He had no cognitive ability to recognize his incompetence.

Jonathan, I'd go with the entire smug elitist ruling class. Including academics in the humanities and social sciences. These geniuses can't figure out why President Trump won the election, but they are convinced they are miles ahead smarter than him and his supporters.

Jon Letendre Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I am fascinated with a different phenomenon, that of seemingly mentally intact adults who found their way, not just through 2016, but also 2017 (and now into 2018!?) believing that President Trump is an idiot. It’s getting comical. Decades of mass mind control have taken their toll on the people. A long healing process will be needed, even after it stops, which it hasn’t. On that topic, watch for January 17th Fake News Awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
