      Not only there, it’s a world wide phenomenon. I keep hearing this kind of shit from people here in Germany and my family in Brazil.

      Yet another reminder that all the mentions of Dunning-Kruger are a better display of it’s perceived effect than the original study ever was. In the original study, people correctly predicted their performance relative to others, but the discrepancy was in the scale of that difference, which can be attributed to numerous factors. Dumb people just took it as “stupid people think they’re smart” and run around saying “Dunning-Kruger” to sound smarter… oh the irony.

      And yes, given two mentions in the above text, this is, indeed, a suicide by words.
