Same problem in the abstract art business. Too many artists publish only a summary of their painting or song, instead of the whole deal.
When you find out about Dunning-Kruger and realise that that’s why everyone else in the world is so stupid apart from you.
I sometimes genuinely expect people to know “basic quantum mechanics” and I’ll start ranting about it as if they have some background knowledge and then when I saw the moon might not exist if I don’t look at it my roommate looks at me like I’m crazy.
The funniest part of this comment to me is that it could be said unironically either by someone educated in college or on tiktok
I sometimes expect people to know “basic physics,” which is apparently a bit much to ask sometimes. I don’t mean having a firm grasp on what e=mc² actually means, I don’t even have that. I’m talking about a firm grasp on energy simply being the capacity to do work, and the basic fact that there is no free energy device.
No, you cannot charge an electric car while it’s driving by putting wind turbines on it. No, you cannot use gear ratios to achieve overunity. No, magnets can’t solve the problem either.
PS, if you firmly believe that crystals vibrate on higher frequencies (eta: and that vibration can somehow heal you or something), but can’t describe what frequency amethyst vibrates at in hertz, you are what Dunning and Kruger set out to study
Unlike most people, I see what you did there.
“You ever notice how stupid the average person is? Now realize that half of them are dumber than that!”
