Basically, don't make definitive statements about things you don't understand. Just try to be as helpful as you can with the knowledge you have.

It also helps if you're not struggling with a narcissistic personality disorder that causes you to make definitive statements in the first place.

You can absolutely make definitive statements about dunning-kruger effect tho.

Absolutely no one seems to know what it means, even Dunning and Kruger.

Easy! Since I understand everything I can just remain perfect and share my wisdom as I see fit.

I'm a lifetime fellow of the impostor club. At times I believe it's the dunning-kreuger club, and I just keep failing upwards.

Sure, the downtime I accidentally caused was only 30 minutes. BUT IT WAS FUCKING DOWNTIME. Zero is the only acceptable duration.

The biggest misunderstanding of the Dunning Kruger effect is the idea that it only applies to certain people. It applies to everyone, we all overestimate our expertise at times. It's a cognitive bias that we all have to knowingly watch out for, not something that indicates stupidity.

There is also an event Magikarp that knows Hydropump.

Here's a good post, that argues the dunning-kruger effect is not real. I guess I am one of those annoying "well actually, ..." types now.

The issue is yeah there’s one graph that’s not great but there’s also decades of research following the original publication that is not addressed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Actually, I do know. I've spent 30 minutes researching it the other day, so I actually know a ton about it.

And then one day you do.

I much prefer Dunning-Notice-Krueger. I get a credit collections notice delivered by a guy with a metal-clawed glove. Now with Fedora!
