dunning kruger is another example of this the original study is intrinsically flawed and there arent any follow ups but because its a sciency sounding way of saying something basically everyone believes is true noone ever bothers to scrutinize it

if youre wondering why its flawed the problem is straight up just the premise any person coded as "dumb" is going to overestimate their performance and any person coded as "smart" is going to underestimate their performance even with completely random results just because they have far more possible outcomes on that spectrum

one useful way to look at this is if you have the stupidest person in the world who scores 0 and the smartest person in the world that scores 100 it is literally impossible for the stupid person to underestimate themselves or for the smart person to overestimate themselves

did u know that the soviet bloc actually made extremely high quality jeans but people in those countries assumed that jeans made in the west were better because they had more aggressive advertising

i thought that was very interesting

Anecdotally, a lot of smart people I know are crippled by neurosis, I would guess because they're applying the same methods of rigorous investigation and evaluation to themselves? On a personal level, it would be nice if they could get out of their own way, and their professional and educational attainment would certainly have been less painful, probably easier, if they didn't constantly doubt and evaluate themselves.

Is that what dunning kruger is intended to be an explanation of?

It kills me that a bunch of guys with slide rules didn't set up a state design bureau for advertising, because maybe that would have made the difference. If they could have just measured and planned around the right amount of pointless, non-productive labour in marketing and advertising to prevent people from gazing at the west longingly.

I think they could still turn it around at this point. Truman did.

Of course he was willing to say things that Biden Democrats never would so given that yeah yelling "Orange Cheeto" for the next 7 months is their only hope.

Liberal politicians and economists don’t seem to recognize the everyday harms of rising costs, Michael Powell writes. https://theatln.tc/rVM8NogK

“The modern Democratic Party, and liberalism itself, is to a substantial extent a bastion of college-educated, upper-middle-class professionals, people for whom Biden-era inflation is unpleasant but rarely calamitous. Poor, working-class, and lower-middle-class people experience a different reality,” Powell writes. “Tell these Americans that the economy is humming, that median wage growth has nudged ahead of the core inflation rate, and that everything’s grand, and you’re likely to see a roll of the eyes.”

A cooling inflation rate does not negate years of soaring prices, especially for consumers whose wages have not kept pace, Powell continues. The core inflation rate excludes food and energy costs, economic indicators that impact daily lives. Food-price inflation hurts the poorest fifth of Americans, who spend nearly a third of their income on food, disproportionately to the highest-income fifth, who spend only 8 percent. Gas prices have risen 50 percent over the past four years, home prices have risen nearly 50 percent since the start of the pandemic, and borrowing money is more expensive. The Federal Reserve Board’s efforts to curb inflation have pushed up interest rates for mortgage payments, new cars, and credit cards.

“Many commentators’ eagerness to ignore inflation’s toll appears inescapably tied to Biden’s precarious reelection prospects. The president is more clear-eyed than his cheerleaders. Several months ago, he largely stopped touting the joys of ‘Bidenomics’ and talked instead about challenging the corporations that raised prices and padded profits,” Powell writes. But “mainstream economists cringe at this kind of populist rhetoric; their assumption is that the austerity that follows raising interest rates is an unfortunate but necessary medicine.”

“Perhaps the economic turmoil of Biden’s term will ease … and consumer agitation will cool in tandem with inflation,” Powell continues. But many Americans will continue to judge the economy by their checking accounts.

My reasoning is that I don't want to have to see it, that it's a waste of everyone's time and that they have no affect on the outcome of the election anyway. If you care about political debates you are an insane sicko. It's actually very lib coded to care about political debates tbh.

You know that you won't be forced to watch it at gunpoint, right?

(lol at debates being lib-coded; lib-coded is acting as if you'd be held against your will to watch it & having to come up with bogus reasons that debating is bad.)

eta: Is this something you've believed & said for prior debates, including 2020? I'm guessing it's a newly developed excuse but if you can pull up an older post of yours that proves me wrong I'll take the L.
