Re: The Politics Thread
It's a shot at people on all sides of any debate whose level of stupidity bars them from realising how stupid they are. The post I'm responding to is one of Priti Patel airing her views on the death penalty.Lost Leopard Spot wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2019 12:51 pmIf that's a shot at Brexiteers, it can equally apply to Remainers.Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2019 12:27 pmI don't think that there's been another point in my life at which the Dunning–Kruger effect's been so easy to explain/demonstrate to people as right now.Prufrock wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2019 12:20 pmMate I doubt there's much to be gained from you and I having an argument over the death penalty, (!) but that's not the point I'm getting at.
Rather, the brass neck to go on national television and hold court on something you know staggeringly little about. Brings me out in a rash thinking about it. Absolutely no sense of embarrassment.
And while we are at it, Some of us Do know what we are talking about.
Not your sensitivity

"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.
As described by social psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger, the cognitive bias of illusory superiority 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."

Ahhh.

I note that the Movers in Brussels have nominated a woman found guilty of "negligence by a person in position of public authority" less than three years ago as the next head of the European Central Bank.
Nothing to see here.

Well, I still don't understand why we ringfence £14bn a year for overseas aid.
That equates directly to £269,000,000 a week... And you can emblazon that on the side of a bus, and in my name.
Fxck overseas aid.

I see all the unelected wankers in the EU have been replaced by more unelected wankers. And our mob didn't even have a say in it. Despite still not being not in it.

Macron said Lagarde's "capacities and competences... totally qualified her" for the European Central Bank.
That'll be her "negligence by a person in position of public authority" then.
