SAVE THE MIDWITS!11!1!!1

[Anonymous No.12795582]

What causes pseudism? Is it really just Dunning-Kruger?
How can we combat it?
Pseudism seems to affect midwits the worst and in the most awful ways. If, indeed, you really are smarter than ~80% of the people you know, then how would you know you aren't really an intellectual or really even that smart?
What, if any, is the evolutionary function that pseudery has played?

Can science even answer this question or is it in too primitive a state to answer these psychological questions?

Confidence in yourself and what you know/what you are capable of is so persistent because it helps your chances in success, similar to why a "bluff" works so well in a poker game.
Why did you need this answered? Why make this random thread? >>>/b/ is much better for these 'questions'.

[Anonymous No.12796113]

>>12795893
It's not such a random question tho, and I want a /sci/entific answer to this question.
I'm specifically interested in the literature and how valid it is. Everyone cites Dunning-Kruger, but is there more to it?
I like your bluff-theory though, "fake it 'til you make it" is actually pretty good advice.

>What causes pseudism? Is it really just Dunning-Kruger?
mostly, yes.
>How can we combat it?
why do you care? if it happens then that stock was never valuable.
>then how would you know you aren't really an intellectual or really even that smart?
it's a simple understanding really.
you can't really convince someone of it though, they need to conclude it themselves.
>What, if any, is the evolutionary function that pseudery has played?
not everything is an evolutionary function anon. Somethings are just noise, the consequence of things which occur.
You make a mistake with assumptions.
There is no grand will of life anon. it just is. and we are.
there was no meticulous plan.
humanoid have not been around for very long at all.
You criticize other beings.
are you the epitome of perfection anon?
maybe once polished you'll be admired.
>>12796230
i agree. People tend to obsess over such meaningless things, but never know/accept how meaningless it was.

The Dunning-Kruger effect didn't emerge from scientific praxis and wasn't originally stated in a scientific context.
It's incredible how midwits gobble up this shit since it supports their worldview.
>He, look what I found. It's called Dunning-K.. something thing. Stoopid people don't know shit
>I am smartz. The other are stoopid.
>It's everyone's else fault but me. I'm the disregarded genius.
That's how midwits think.

That's literally the basis of all evolution tho...uh, anon, do you think evolution is a synonym for progress or reaching a goal or something?
The whole process is all about which noise is the most useful and which noise should get filtered.

Imagine not caring about what allowed you to score a given IQ. Acting like you're 'above' thinking IQ is meaningful is very much a sign that you likely aren't quite intelligent or perceptive enough to understand what IQ is or why it might matter. This is completely different from actively bragging about your IQ because you have no better achievements though.
