Should lit ban and delete its stupid posters.

No, lit should be an equal opportunity place regardless of intelligence:D
 
I've never met anyone who thought they were dum. Dummies always dismiss smarter people as crazy or whatever.

The Dunning-Kruger Effect. On the low end, IQ and one's self perception of intelligence are inversely proportional.

Those that an objective observer would identify as the least intelligent people on the board often speak of others as being stupid or uneducated when what they are experiencing is simply a quarrel over a difference of opinion.

"An ignorant mind is precisely not a spotless, empty vessel, but one that’s filled with the clutter of irrelevant or misleading life experiences, theories, facts, intuitions, strategies, algorithms, heuristics, metaphors, and hunches that regrettably have the look and feel of useful and accurate knowledge." -Dr. David Dunning

Often people who are demonstrably wrong will quote citations that are demonstrably wrong and still announce that the "facts" are on their side. Demonstrating those facts to be wrong, does not cause the slightest waver.

I made the point last night that those with what appears outwardly the least educated minds speak of achieving an education as if it was a singular event, rather than a lifelong pursuit.

Predictably, at least one "educated" soul pointed to my statement as being "anti-education."

An excellent post Yardley, thanks. I've noticed this phenomenom IRL but was unaware that it had been identified, studied and labelled.

When I first heard about that study, I assumed like every other nonsensical study it was someones laughable PHD dissertation. Taking a noticeable social quirk and collecting some anecdotes and calling it a study. It was interesting how they accomplished the study.

They had people rate how they perceived their ability, then they tested. They had them then rate how they figure they did. The people felt like they did just as good as they predicted they would do. And of course they were wrong. In other words looking at the test, they had no idea that they actually didn't know the material. Smart people are painfully aware of what they missed on a test. That feeling of: "Gosh, I could NOT remember if it was sine over cosign or the other way around!!" less intelligent people think, "NAILED it!" Smarter people because of that were wrong about their ability too, because they underestimated both how much they knew and how they did.

I was trying to find it to get the name right and bumped into this: http://theness.com/neurologicablog/index.php/lessons-from-dunning-kruger/
 
Without its bird-brainiacs LIT would hafta close its doors.
