  4. eferg16 , the Dunning Kruger effect: 📺 https://youtu.be/pOLmD_WVY-E (5 minute video | TED-Ed) "In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people mistakenly assess their cognitive ability as greater than it is. 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." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect

  18. 👑 TRUMP: the Dunning Kruger effect: 🤥 https://youtu.be/pOLmD_WVY-E 📺 (5 minute video | TED-Ed) "Trump: the president who doesn’t know he doesn’t know" — Alejandro Brozon ⭕️ Dunning Kruger Effect is the term used to describe a situation where one doesn’t know what it is that they don’t understand. In other words, people in this category habitually step outside of their own circle of competence. (The opposite of Warren Buffett’s advice.): 🧠 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect

  20. Random Guy, I’m afraid this may read arrogant to you: You didn’t merely get the details wrong — you got the ENTIRE MAIN PREMISE of your original comment — WRONG. (I couldn’t resist correcting you.)

  21. Random Guy, I apologize for my approach. It may seem strange but I honestly value your feedback because I genuinely need to get better in my approach of correcting others. I need to be more diplomatic. If you would give me more feedback — I would appreciate it — especially if you can give me an example of how I could’ve been more tactful in correcting your mistake. (I’m not being sarcastic.) I do realize that information is much better received when properly presented. 🙏 Would you please help me improve by providing more detailed feedback? Thank you for your valuable time, Random Guy. I’m sorry for annoying you.

  22. 👏 Random Guy, I want to applaud your integrity, character, and emotional intelligence. It is rare for a person writing anonymous YouTube comments to admit that they were wrong and then go further and correct themselves. Good for you! I admire your approach and want to commend you for it. I also want to take this opportunity to share more, relevant information that sort of explains what happens when someone points out that we are actually wrong. (This may be the reason why — in your earlier comment — you perceived me as extra arrogant): ...Our brains create emotionally desirable narratives — in order to escape the discomfort of Cognitive Dissonance: "This discomfort is triggered by a situation in which a person's belief clashes with new evidence perceived by the person. When confronted with facts that contradict beliefs, ideals, and values, people will try to find a way to resolve the contradiction to reduce their discomfort." ⬆️ source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance

  36. Random Guy, those that do not know their history are condemned to being randomly wrong. ...Perhaps you will share some links to support your specious recollection of history? On the other hand, I do agree with you that Coca-Cola is a much stronger brand and that compared to Pepsi Cola — it is more closely associated with the USA 🇺🇸.
