'Do your own research' and the Dunning-Kruger Effect

by Potholer54

Just another person that explains where some of the dumbest behavior you encounter in your live (and might actually be guilty of yourself) comes from.
Here are my favorite examples of the D-K effect at work:

June 2015: “There’s nobody bigger or better at the military than I am.”
July 2016: "So a general gets on, sent obviously by Obama, and he said, 'Mr. Trump doesn't understand. He knows nothing about defense.' I know more about offense and defense than they will ever understand, believe me. Believe me. Than they will ever understand. Than they will ever understand."
Nov 2015: "I know more about ISIS than the generals do."
Nov 2015: "I know more about courts than any human being on Earth."
Mar 2016: "Nobody knows more about trade than me."
Apr 2016: "I know more about renewables than any human being on Earth."
May 2016: "I think nobody knows more about taxes than I do, maybe in the history of the world. Nobody knows more about taxes."
July 2016: "[L]ook, as a builder, nobody in the history of this country has ever known so much about infrastructure as Donald Trump."
Feb 8 2017: "I understand things. I comprehend very well. Ok? Better than, I think, almost anybody"
Dec 2018: "Technology — nobody knows more about technology than me."
Jan 2019: "I know more about drones than anybody. I know about every form of safety that you can have."

Need video evidence that Trump said these things?

@ElwoodBlues Well, he's a snake oil peddler. I sometimes wonder how much of it is real and how much of it is tactic.

@Roundandroundwego Well, I do believe the US has a big problem there. But those things are often not the consequence of a Dunning Kruger issue, but a question on morality and ideology.
@Kwek00 people talk like they're informed and using the information, but they don't. Not dunning Kruger, then and never - never time to talk about anything that matters. Perfect.

@Roundandroundwego I'm pretty sure that if you put your numbers in front of your targeted audience, that a bunch of them wouldn't change their opinion, because of their ideological lense.

Morality, is not the same thing as denying academic research on the back of the knowledge of reading some guy on twitter.
