In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people with low ability at a task overestimate their ability. It is related to the cognitive bias of illusory superiority and comes from the inability of people to recognize their lack of ability. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, people cannot objectively evaluate their competence or incompetence.[1]

As described by social psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger, the bias results from an internal illusion in people of low ability and from an external misperception in people of high ability; that is, "the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others."[1]

Shiiittt... You need an excuse for that? It's the only way for me to make it through the day sometimes. The hardest part of my job is to fight back the urge to dope slap people

Can't cliff note it Bucky, but that sure fits lots of politicians I think.

Gene, I thought you were better than that. Look at the parliament of whores. Think it fits most if not all of them?

I read this and went damn that's Trump, damn that's Pelosi, damn that's McConnell, damn that's most all of them. Actually I can't think of one that isn't, but there has to be one, well, may be not.

I don't think politicians are dumb.

This sums it up.

They are skilled at playing the wind, pandering to get votes, and slight of hand. None of them will speak the truth and they all have some angle they are playing in the back rooms.

If they say they are doing their job for the great people of this country you'd be an idiot to believe them. They are in it to feed their own ego and fill their bank accounts, nothing more, nothing less. They are all whores and laugh at the stupid unwashed masses after the cameras turn off.

I used to be a whore but the union sent a couple of advisors, so that career ended.
