The most anti-intellectual people I know are the midwit Dunning-Krugerites you just described. I can't stand these fucking people.

About Dunning-Kruger... it's irreproducible bunk science that got popular over sloppy graphs. I sought to combat it [here](https://communities.win/c/ConsumeProduct/p/19BZgFte5c/dunningkruger-effect--fake-and-g/c).

There is a link to an image from Wikipedia that shows the actual 2 graphs. The differences are *really* small. And they just extracted popularity through a little trickery.

No problem. Most people who know about the DK-effect do not know that. It's a little insidious given its nature. The way I atone for the shame of having been among those people is to spread the word. That's how it got to me as well.
