      I disagree with this quote to be honest. You may think they are stupid, but you are not always right. When someone is really trying to prove their point, and you turn away, that's a really douchebag thing to do.

      @EXISTENTIAL CRISIS Well, sometimes you can misjudge. I've had moments where I have a good debate with someone else, but they turn away and ignore me after a while. I can understand why, and I have almost done it before, but what you are actually doing is closing off the opinions of others, which is bad.

    • @MissElisabelle

      To me, it's more like: don't argue with people who want to make a point and be right at all costs. No matter how stupid or smart they are.
      I like discussing with people politely, share ideas and perspective. If I know I am not an expert in a matter, I shut my mouth and listen. I may not agree, but if I am no expert, there is a slight chance I might say something stupid.
      So I let the ignorant yell at each other.
      And I talk only after a thorough research.

    This is so eye-opening. When I was teenager, I thought I knew everything (because I didn't know much at all). It wasn't until I was in my early 20s that I realized that I didn't know sh*t (because I was learning more about the real world). Every day, there's something new to learn. And even if you're very knowledgeable in something, there's always someone more knowledgeable. Stay humble.

    My dad gave me a little piece of advice when I was young that sounded something like this. He told me that whenever you start a new job you're in a situation where you don't even know what you don't know.
    He told me to keep my mouth shut and to pay attention to everything. I should also periodically ask my supervisor what he felt I needed to work on. He said if I did that long enough I would move into the category of people that at least know what they don't know.
    He said I should be happy to be in that category because then I could confidently research and learn the things that I knew were important and relevant to my job performance.
    After watching this video I cannot be happier to have had my father in my life for 17 years. Sure he passed away when I was still a boy but he at least taught me how to be a man before he died. Love you dad, it's 2019 I'm 39 years old, and I still miss you every single day.

      I don't know exactly why this sprang to mind, but in the middle of the Blue's Stanley Cup season they went with a rookie goaltender named Jordan Binnington. In an interview he said something like, "My plan is to keep my mouth shut and learn." He didn't strut around like a "know it all" prick. He ended up being phenomenal and cool as a cucumber.

    On a similar note, I find the most annoying people to be those that make fun of another person for not knowing something. They think that it's a person's own fault for not knowing something, when in fact a lot of the time it's impossible to learn something that you haven't even heard of.
    What you don't know can't hurt you, and can't be entered into Google because - again - you don't know it.

      No. If that were true, no one would continue to learn anything for more than 3 weeks. There would be no experts. Experts might not be omniscients, but they will always know a crapload more than anyone else, why do you think they bothered to study a field for 5, 10, 20, 40 years, their whole life? They are smart people, if they thought it is not worth doing it, they would not have learned anything. Yours is an absurd conclusion. It sounds clever, but it's not solid logic. Say, when you eat a lot, do feel hungrier? Or when you get more money, do you feel poorer? Personally, the more I learn something, the more I feel that I know MORE, not less. It will never be 'all', but so what. I don't confuse 'a lot' with 'all'. A lot is a lot, The video is more about stupid people who DON'T know, and go 'I get it'. Not the ones who DO know.

If you truly are intelligent that section of not feeling knowledgeable will be smaller and for most of your time learning that subject you'll feel pretty confident (depends on the subject)

      most of the folks where I work are afraid to say someone that's wrong and be known as giving bad information or data. that's a sure way to kill your rep. if you're not 100% sure say you'll look into it or give qualifiers to answers like "I believe," or give an outright confident rating to information, and agree to get back to the person. have your boss or colleagues in on the decision and work through things together. why would you ever fake confidence or information which might damage reputation? (i get that the effect says the incompetent doesn't even realize they are incompetent) maybe for a one-time sale, maybe.
      overall this effect is meaningless because the incompetents usually don't graduate with 4 year degrees in competitive fields or find themselves in professional jobs. they're weeded out and serve in non-professional jobs, struggling. the main benefit of this observation is for teaching and instruction skills. but I could be wrong on that, maybe it has more practical purposes -- self-reflection?

    Boy, was I wrong.
    I've learned more and more and more. And everytime I've learned more, often trough failure, I came to realize: Damn this is complex.
    I'm actually doing this as a job now. And I love it. And the stuff I do is good, according to any standard. HOWEVER: I know there is so much more. I've only conquered the very top of the Iceberg. I'm pretty confident to say, that there is propably another 70+% to still learn.
    And know what? I'm not going to do that mistake ever again. Some topics may seem very simple at first glance, but in propably 95+% of cases, it's propably way more complex then you could imagine in your wildest dreams.

I spent the last 2 weeks making sure it was extra exceptional work.. that could only achieve the highest marks... I had the highest marks out of everybody on the course... I only found out at the time that she had been giving my coursework to somebody else because my GF at the time was asked to assist with organising everybody's coursework into Folders with labelled sections to mark the areas of the course.. because even though we were supposed to do it ourselves many people hadn't... anyway I decided to help my GF at the time tidy it all up.. and she spotted my work that she had seen me do at times in other peoples folders... so yeah.. my lecturer was corrupt and she cried to me asking me why the people on the course hated her and I told her straight it's because she keeps having favourites and neglecting everybody else...

      True. That's why it is a great step to move from "unconsciously incompetent" to "consciously incompetent". Only then can learning start. The main job of a teacher in my opinion is to show students how much they need to know, and then help them obtain that knowledge.
