Have Audiophiles lost their CIVILTY!


Have we lost our ability to respect each other and our differing opinions.  Why are some people so insecure that they are hell bent on being right?

The 'Dunning-Kruger effect' is the best explaination I've heard. The less you know, the more you think you're right. (as shown in the comments above.)

“The first rule of the Dunning-Kruger Club is that you don't know you are a member of the Dunning-Kruger Club.” David Dunning The Dunning-Kruger Effect is when people are too ignorant to understand that they really don't understand. Their confidence exceeds their competence in a certain area.

How it works

  • People with limited knowledge or competence in a given area overestimate their abilities. 
  • They may be quick to offer solutions or advice without fully understanding the problem. 
  • They may take unnecessary risks because they believe they possess superior skills. 

 

I am waiting for my cue to talk about how I feel. Oh wait. Everybody knows it. I'm good.
