So you shit on the board then claimed victory and now you’re flattering yourself that you’ve somehow hurt me? If you’ve hurt anyone, it’s the other people who may not be receiving the same benefit of doubt that I initially gave to you.
You’re epitomizing the Dunning-Kruger offshoot: Unskilled and Don’t Want to Be Aware of It.
“We contend that the unskilled are motivated to ignore (be unaware of) their poor performance so that they can feel better about themselves. We tested this idea in an experiment in which we manipulated the perceived self-relevancy of the task to men and women after they had completed a visual pun task and before they estimated their performance on the task. As predicted, the unskilled and unaware effect was attenuated when the task was perceived to have low self-relevance.”
Not only can one be too dumb to know he is dumb, but can also have a big ego about what he mistakenly knows, and that is especially so when he ought to be knowledgeable in a particular field. Eh? Mr. Philosopher?
You identify as a philosopher and therefore it’s very painful to admit error about the very subject with which you’re supposed to be adept and that exactly what the study was about.
To illustrate, the women in the study had more motivation to excel in language because it’s part of the feminine persona to be articulately accomplished while men give less of a shit in general.
[i]"We expected that in this condition, male participants would perceive the task to be less important to men than to women. Hence male participants would see the task to be less self-relevant.
Male participants in the language ability condition did not consider the task to be important to the self. As a result, they were not motivated to self-enhance their performance on the task (see [9]) and therefore did not display a pronounced positive response bias. Instead, they based their estimation primarily on their actual performance. In this case, the unskilled are not motivated to ignore (be unaware of) their incompetence and they estimated their relative performance fairly accurately.
In contrast, female participants in the language ability condition considered the task to be important to the self. Hence, they were motivated to self-enhance; they displayed a pronounced positive response bias and did not base their estimation on their actual performance. In this case, the unskilled are motivated to ignore (be unaware of) their incompetence. As a result, they grossly overestimated their relative performance."[/i]
Keep ignoring man.
