“The Dunning-Kruger effect is a type of cognitive bias in which people believe that they are smarter and more capable than they really are. Essentially, low ability people do not possess the skills needed to recognize their own incompetence. The combination of poor self-awareness and low cognitive ability leads them to overestimate their own capabilities.”
The term lends a scientific name and explanation to a problem that many people immediately recognize—that fools are blind to their own foolishness. As Charles Darwin wrote in his book The Descent of Man, “Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge.”
To quote an old boss of mine, “truly stupid people aren’t capable of understanding that they really are stupid”.
The “everybody gets a trophy” mentality has spawned a generation of literal idiots like AOC that honestly have no idea that they are actually stupid. These people are supremely confident that they are smarter than everyone else because they checked a couple of “boxes” with a college “education” and the like.
The sad thing is that I’m afraid they are starting to outnumber actual competent people. In fact, it seems to be a prerequisite for being a member of congress these days.

Bubba, The Dunning-Kruger effect is the great filter which keeps civilizations from expanding to the stars.
Self imposed stupidity is why we appear to be alone in the universe.

AOC can see GREENland from her 2nd front porch…
AOC is a perfect example of the Dunning-Kruger effect (as are way too many college graduates these days).
