I read this article from 2000 again when I see stupid people like Murtha on TV.
most incompetent people do not know that they are incompetent.
And the reason politicians are so self assured
“I began to think that there were probably lots of things that I was bad at and I didn’t know it,” Dr. Dunning said.
One reason that the ignorant also tend to be the blissfully self-assured, the researchers believe, is that the skills required for competence often are the same skills necessary to recognize competence.
So it’s not there fault they are stupid.
Nancy Pelosi falls under this catagory.
“Not only do they reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but their incompetence robs them of the ability to realize it,”
And Jacks is deficient only in:
“self-monitoring skills,”
and because
“Incompetent individuals were less able to recognize competence in others,” the researchers concluded.
we now have all of these politicians stepping on themselves.
I user to believe this statement
Those that can, do; those that can’t, teach,”
But I know some teachers that do it all, they have done the work, they still do the work, and they also teach.
I now believe Those that can, do; those that can’t, become politicians. and they all suck.
