The Rise of the Regressive Right and the Reawakening of America

I realize you want to drag everybody else down to your level, as if anyone who has the balls to disagree with you and your moronic worldview is the same kind of blind sock puppet that you are, but shockingly enough, some of us can actually think for ourselves.

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled people make poor decisions and reach erroneous conclusions, but their incompetence denies them the metacognitive ability to recognize their mistakes.[1] The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their ability as above average, much higher than it actually is, while the highly skilled underrate their own abilities, suffering from illusory inferiority.

Please stop trying to equate me to your lying sack of ass.

There is a vast gulf between being a bit cheesed and having an opinion and going out of your way to lie about how much better that opinion is than anyone else's.

In a series of studies, they examined the subjects' self-assessment of logical reasoning skills, grammatical skills, and humor. After being shown their test scores, the subjects were again asked to estimate their own rank, whereupon the competent group accurately estimated their rank, while the incompetent group still overestimated their own rank. As Dunning and Kruger noted,

Across four studies, the authors found that participants scoring in the bottom quartile on tests of humor, grammar, and logic grossly overestimated their test performance and ability. Although test scores put them in the 12th percentile, they estimated themselves to be in the 62nd.


Dunning, Kruger, and coauthors' latest paper on this subject comes to qualitatively similar conclusions to their original work, after making some attempt to test alternative explanations. They conclude that the root cause is that, in contrast to high performers, "poor performers do not learn from feedback suggesting a need to improve."[4]

Given this information, what does it say about your thinking when others consistantly point out the flawed logic and dishonesty?

Do you really believe you are in the 62nd percentile of critical thinking ability Darrin?

Allright, point taken. I have been a bit mean. I think I am done being angry.

You are an idiot, but it is obvious you can't help it, anymore than Cosmored can. That is to be pitied more than anything else.

Oh. Holy. .

I really don't think you wanted to reply with that response considering the charges being leveled, D.

isn't this backwards?

Good catch
