    My favorite are those who are content with mediocrity, yet unaware they are mediocre: calibrates their baseline strictly against the crowd around them, "good enough" feels like mastery. Showing them top-tier work often doesn't break the illusion, it just triggers rationalization.

    I always thought if you think you're stupid you're smarter than the people who can't understand they're stupid. Like how you can't win an argument against someone who's actually the dumbest person in the world because they dismiss facts and logic

    David Dunning also mentioned that part of this is the small wins that make people think more of themselves. They get 2 questions right which are basic and don't realise that there's another 98 questions they haven't attempted which hold more weight but they think 2 questions I'm a genius . I don't need to bother with the rest. Call it a day.

    Jokes aside, can someone with knowledge of this effect know that in the same person is possible to get both results? I think i sometimes i know some stuff (that actually maybe i know little) and stuff i'm actually skilled i think i underestimate myself.

    4:04 … So, In school, were you usually getting the scores you expected, surprised not to be scoring higher, or consistently pleasantly surprised you kept scoring so high..?

    Wow, I've never heard the details of the study. I assumed it was based on actual skills, not a completely subjective dataset. I'm sure the effect is real, just based on my own experiences, but their methodology really sucked.
