Now I'm just, DUH,,, AND THE SAD PART IS , I'M NOT EVEN SURE IF I'M JUST JOKING !

I do Dunning-Kruger interventions for a living.... 🤠

Think airoutlaw could recommend to you a new client...............

I tell folks that there are three kinds of victory in my classroom.

1. The shiny, happy kind: "I love Doc! This class is great! I'm so thrilled I'm gonna be a teacher!!"

2. The self-enlightenment kind: "Thanks, Doc. Great class and all, but I've realized that this teaching gig isn't for me - I'm changing my major tomorrow."

3. The Dunning-Kruger kind: "You $#@&! Why did you flunk me!"

"Because you're not competent to do the job, and 4th graders don't have a choice, or get a do-over when you screw up."

...and then the arguing and tearful begging, alternating with threats, begins in earnest.

THAT'S what I mean by D-K interventions.

One of the only "BlogsS" I read is WaitButWhy by Tim Urban. He is currently doing a major full series on "The Story of Us" that goes into this effect, plus others. I highly recommend it.

Reminds of the old saying: "The dead don't know they are dead. The same with the stupid."

What is dead may never die...

What is stupid may never stupe? 😆

I work in IT. A group in our department needed 2 special-use servers turned up for a new project. The requirements and configuration were complex and despite the combined number of years of experience of all involved it took tons of research, calls to vendors, several loads, complete wipes, and reloads to get them functioning. In the end, when it all finally (mostly ) worked, the servers were named Dunning and Kruger.

Perception is reality...

So a man thinketh; he is...

Even if he is not...

You can learn alot from a dummy.
