      There is a good old obscure word which describes people who are experts in one field trying to be experts in another field in which they are not so competent -it's called being ULTRACREPIDARIAN -comes from the Latin meaning "beyond the shoe" and is described by the Roman writer Pliny who tells the story of the Greek painter Apelles being corrected by a shoemaker over the way Apelles painted a shoe in a painting of a man -Apelles took notice of the critique about the shoe but when the shoemaker began to find other faults in the painting Apelles told him -don't go beyond the shoe-that's all you are an expert in.

    This is why 'beginners mind' is so important. It's a great habit to fact check one's self constantly and question beliefs one holds. I've learned to enjoy telling people, "I was wrong, you got it right". But then, my motto for decades has been, "I'd rather know the truth than be right." I didn't start there, I started always having to be 'right'. All I had to do was decades of work to grow as a person.

      The narcosissit will want to swap place with the victim by victimzing it self and steal the victim role in life.
      When in reality, the victims are not interested to see their filthy and miserable perspective about life, they are strugling to show their own disstorsioned thoughts and opinions with any price and have no thinking, on the way they affect others.
      They can not comprehend to distance them self, as we normal people, are not doctors or psychoterapeuts for their mental illnes and incapacity to distinguish their inner-side (ID, Ego, Super-ego, autenticity, autonomy, credibility, results, effects , analytical brains they lack ) .
      They transfer them self into victim life and steal the whole existence, because they can not comprehend their own identity, own ego and what they are made of.
      It is a whole parasitic hanging on other´s life, with no purpose , with no goals, only to disrupt and drag others down for no reason. There is only in their brain the fact that they are educated, they have family or happines. It is a desillusion of the ill trait.
      Thay don´´t have the capacity to leave, to give up when they are not wanted , bcz thier brain function is at the level of a toddler , they want to be where they fell that they are comfortable, without thinking that they harm those persons which are around them.
      They are nagging, they are constantly talking other things than it have to be said or imporatnt, they disstorsion the victim reallity with their awful manipulation and bullshiting. The outside factors are even more damagine the vixtim because many stupid people out there belive in the narcissist lies. They are able to invent a spyderweb full of lies, and they live in that lies forever. Because this is their brain understanding. I dont know why they are allowed to stay free to make more victims.

    I just think of it as there is the real world, and it operates on wholly logical principles, and then each of us individually have an emotional world (where we "feel" what it right) and it operates on our pleasure and pain principles. We just have to self-reflect on the times when our emotional world is trying to over-ride the real world, and readjust. It doesn't mean we're always wrong when our emotional world tries to take over, but you can't force the square peg into the round hole either.

    Perhaps this is a result of the accelerating and increasing complexity of human society in which people feel called upon and compelled to 'know' - albeit in a hopelessly superficial fashion - all manner of things, whether about technology, geopolitics, medicine, etc., therefore when faced with overwhelm people stick to an opinion that becomes an identity of sorts and, consequently, it is very hard for intellectual humility to shift it as such a stance when contradicted, challenged, doubted or proven to be wrong, is perceived as a personal attack.

Yes, the less you know, the less you know you don't know, and the reverse effect (Kruger-Dunning, maybe they should call it) is the more you know, the more you're likely to underestimate it or assume everyone else knows better, because you realise how much you don't know.

    Dunning-Kruger effect, in psychology, a cognitive bias whereby people with limited knowledge or competence in a given intellectual or social domain greatly overestimate their own knowledge or competence in that domain relative to objective criteria or to the performance of their peers or of people in general.
    Ordinary person with Dunning-Kruger effect is only bad to one self but when leader with lots of power has Dunning-Kruger effect that leader can cause lots of problem to all, for example the communist china party/CCP and putin.

      @Mr. Fossil -- Tolerance can only go so far as the acceptance that thoughts and beliefs are harmless. If an individual idolizes Adolf Hitler and espouses that idolization in ways, such as teaching children to hate others, do you tolerate or stand up to those beliefs? The current crop of Flat Earthers or Young Earth Creationists are actively recruiting young adults and children to "raise up the new armies of believers." Do you tolerate their conspiracy theories or call them out?

      And the wisdom & humility to realise that many things we thought were known are actually wrong so remain unknown; the ability to have eyes + wide open to imagine different truths & realities = creativity? To question everything no matter how often it's been copied & pasted & passed around and from one generation to the next and therefore is accepted as 'fact'; to have the courage to be able to disagree with accepted beliefs & 'norms'; in other words: dare to be different?
      Ask lots of questions & interrogate the answers we receive and robustly inspect the 'evidence' provided; good fakes can fool 'experts'.
      Someone once said to me that there is no truth - only points of view (opinions) = often true but occasionally there are some basic 'truths' which are very very (but almost never 100%) certain; rough estimates and working diagnoses - being rewritten and refined for ever...

    The problem with this video is that it tries to use a single measure, intelligence when there are actually two measures. Intelligence is the potential to learn and remember while this video neglects the other measure that's been well known all through history namely wisdom. Wisdom is the measure of the ability to properly use what intelligence provides. Trying to create new terms in order to avoid using the well known term is in fact an example of the effect that this video is about.

      Wisdom has to do more with life experiences than about knowledge. That's why wisdom is mostly associated with the elderly. Knowledge does play a part however. Some younger people can also be considered wise but these people have gathered much life experiences in their short time on earth.

      @@kikitaughtme Wisdom is being able to see the probable consequences of an act, the older you are the more often you are able to make wise decisions because of experience but experience is only one way to wisdom, actual thoughtfulness is the best way to practice wisdom.

      @@kikitaughtme I don't necessarily agree. Life experiences can expose you to more knowledge, but knowledge is what's important to wisdom. You can easily find knowledgeable teenagers who are wiser than some elderly. It depends on how much knowledge you've been exposed to and how varied it is. For example, a professor who had only studied one subject his whole life isn't likely to be wise. But a well-read person who'd been reading various topics from a young age is more likely to develop wisdom.
      intelligence + wide knowledge = wisdom
      and to link it to the video, being more intellectually humble leads to learn more and be more open minded to different topics so, this makes you more likely to develop wisdom.
      So the secret of wisdom is wide knowledge and intellectual humbleness.

    To begin with, there are different kinds of intelligences beyond the verbal and logical intelligences. Also, with aging, our verbal and logical intelligences change. In my 20s and 30s I used to be brilliant, including scoring very high on IQ tests. I was very quick in comprehending ideas,in seeing connections and in verbalizing them. Nowadays, as an older woman, I am significantly less intelligent in that way. My reasoning is slower. I have however, come to understand better the limits of my abilities.

    If only everyone are aware of their own limitation and you know ... be more humble. Because ignorance is within everyone.
    Tired to see _people_ whose so smug about their knowledge and refuse criticism (by someone they see as inferior) or even new ideas. Especially my experience in this thing called internet.
