You Can’t Fix Stupid, But You Can Watch It Try To Fix Others In These 50 Iconic Self-Owns (New Pics)
The internet amplifies our voice, but that also means the ignorant, the silly, and the just plain wrong things we say are amplified too. Nowhere is this more hilariously evident than in the Facebook group 'People Incorrectly Correcting Other People,' where members document overconfident know-it-alls self-owning in public. Consider this list of the group’s most recent posts a cautionary tale about fact-checking yourself — and a reminder that sometimes, silence really is golden.

According to Dr. Don A. Moore, a professor and the Lorraine Tyson Mitchell Chair in Leadership and Communication at the Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley, overconfidence is "the mother of all psychological biases."
"First, overconfidence is one of the largest and most ubiquitous of the many biases to which human judgment is vulnerable," Moore said. "For example, 93 percent of American drivers claim to be better than the median, which is statistically impossible."
"Another way in which people can indicate their confidence about something is by providing a 90 percent confidence interval around some estimate; when they do so, the truth often falls inside their confidence intervals less than 50 percent of the time, suggesting they did not deserve to be 90 percent confident of their accuracy," the professor added.

It already is... The state of nuclear research in the USA is in a sorry state since the 1980s. The most recent reactor, McClellan, is from 1990. FermiLab's Tevatron has been abandoned since the 2010s and most of the FermiLab talent went to CERN, along with the best from Berkeley. Brookhaven is merely a blip on the radar, its level energy insignificant for modern research, with Jefferson in an even worse state. Oak Ridge is a safety disaster and -along with Sandia- is concentrated on the production of plutonium, military and reactor research.

"If we were appropriately humble about psychological vulnerabilities, we would be better able to protect ourselves from the errors to which human nature makes us prone," he highlighted. "Instead, an excessive faith in ourselves and our judgment means that we too often ignore our vulnerability to bias and error. Decades of research on judgment and decision-making have documented these heuristics and the biases they create. They include, but are not limited to, availability, representativeness, anchoring, framing, reference dependence, and egocentrism."

So what should we do if we don't want to end up thinking we're better than everyone else? Should we try to reduce our confidence (and risk falling into self-doubt), or should we convince ourselves that what others think of us doesn't matter and attempt to fail our way to success? Moore believes the answer lies in the middle.
"This Goldilocks zone of confidence is where rational beliefs meet reality," he said. "It is fundamentally based on truth and good sense. It is built on beliefs that can be justified by evidence and honest self-examination. It steers between the perilous cliff of overconfidence and the quicksand of underconfidence. It is not always easy to find this narrow path; it takes honest self-reflection, level-headed analysis, and the courage to resist wishful thinking."

While the comment is dumb, the chart pictured here is also a bit confusing and misleading. First off, they've omitted the original claim that originated this, that is, supposedly "it takes 7kg of grain to raise 1kg of livestock". There are issues on this assertion by itself, but even moving past that, a) people need both protein and carbs, so living on grain alone is not sustainable and b) the grain fed to livestock is (often) not the same we eat - it doesn't have to be zero sum. OF COURSE this doesn't mean the meat industry isn't riddled with issues - I come from Brazil originally, I know the damage it causes to the environment, society, worker's right and everything else - but we don't need misleading statistics to hinder the case for changing it.
Jaya 7 months ago
No, you can't live on only grain. But soy for instance, is used mostly as food for lifestock, and you can just make tofu out of the soy and eat it yourself, and that contains loads of protein. 1 kg of soy makes way more protein through tofu than through meat.

Cattle left to themselves will mostly eat grass. Humans cannot utilize grass as a food supply. The practice of feeding grain to cattle is a recent development. We do not need to make cattle extinct to save the climate.
Daniel Atkins 7 months ago
Cattle are fed grains and not as the sole source of their diet to fatten them up before slaughter or to increase milk production in dairy cows. Feeding them straight grain will k**l them as the grain will ferment in the four stomach chambers causing a dangerous gas build up that will rupture their stomach. Cows cannot belch. Source grew on on a farm and witnessed my father and grandfather shoving a hose down the cow's throat to release the gas and save the animal.

The $50k comment is from the Three Year Letterman which is a troll/joke account: https://x.com/3YearLetterman
Some might say that the middle way is the path to mediocrity. But it has long been valued.
In Nicomachean Ethics, for example, Aristotle argues that all virtues lie between extremes of deficiency and excess. He compares virtues to health, suggesting that just as both too little and too much physical exercise can destroy one's strength, both deficiency and excess can destroy virtue.
Courage, for instance, is a virtue that lies between a deficient condition—cowardice—and an excessive one—rashness. A coward has too much fear and flees from all danger, while a rash person has too little fear and confronts all danger. A courageous person, by contrast, judges which dangers should be confronted and which should not, and feels the appropriate amount of fear.

I actually think greg isn't "wrong" in certain contexts. For example he may have assumed they were talking about grades, which are always discussed as being out of 100. If someone said that their grade went down 10% and it started at 70, you would assume they meant it went to 60, not 63, because nobody talks about grades as percentages of the starting number, they talk as percentages of the maximum grade. Granted, one would hope that he could still follow the logic that Andrew is trying to explain.

Dunning-Kruger effect. If you graph out confidence over actual expertise, then at the very bottom and very top, people know they don't know everything and that they might be wrong. Experts know how broad their field is and how much there is to learn, and novices know they know nothing yet. In the middle, you can have a huge disparity between actual knowledge and confidence in the breadth of that knowledge.

As a mathematician, I can say that the problem here is not error, but ambiguity. The word "by" is being used two different ways. Whether 18% or 90% is correct depends on how you interpret that word. But strictly speaking, if you are going to multiple the current probability by 1.80, that's called increasing BY 80%. (10% chance increases to 18%) If you're going to add 0.80 to the current probability, that's call an increase OF 80%. (10% chance goes to 90%.)

I can't believe we get hundreds of new words all the time that are useless (fleek, rizz), but we don't fix the ambiguity of the term percentage. Everyone should learn the term percentage point, and we need to add a new word for percentage that specifically shows that you mean percentage and not percentage point. And we need to make a rule for what we mean by "a 50% difference", whether it should be calculated from the lower or the higher number. Why are we not fixing this?

Evolving doesn’t mean “improving.” Mutations happen constantly and sometimes they’re beneficial, sometimes not. Humans have a gene for manufacturing Vitamin C except for a tiny change that broke it. It didn’t matter if a species had a “broken” gene as long as they were eating fruit. Cats, for example have the fully functioning version. I hate it when people say “mother nature” did something because it sounds like directed evolution.
David Morgan 7 months ago (edited)
Sorry, but your understanding of evolution is very surface level. Monkeys never changed into humans, true (we had a common ancestor, and branched out into apes, monkeys and humans among others). However, that common ancestor demonstrates that new species DO arise from existing ones. We have fossil evidence of the process.

There's a difference between ambient temperature of your room and closed environment of an oven + additionally trapping heat in tinfoil. Your house is not an oven and is subject to a lot more than just straight heat - there's movement of the air, moisture, exchanging heat between objects etc. Basic physics. You can bake something (not everything) in low temperature, but it will definitely take a lot of time - hence the 4 DAYS. Neutral temperature for potato is lower than 25°C, even if only by couple of degrees. And any extra heat does SOMETHING to the thing it is applied to. Humans sweat, meat goes bad, plants dry out or rot. Potato isolated in aluminum foil slowly cooks 🤷♀️ That's actually how sous vide works. Isolated, long time in very low temperature.

They pulled up the wrong calendar month. March instead of October.

I love this! It was when the Gregorian calendar was implemented in Italy, Poland, Portugal, and Spain. The 4th of October was immediately followed by the 15th of October. Most countries had a switch over date when days were simply skipped. These were the first countries, and more followed, in dribs and drabs. Great Britain and Ireland switched in 1752. Sweden tried skipping leap years until they 'caught up' with the Gregorian, but due to wars things got complicated. In modern times, it was the one country that had the 30th of February, in 1712. It was to allow them to get back in synch with the Julian calendar. They later made the switch in 1753.

I think some people use that to say American? Like U.S.-ian.

That would be a great name for a salad dressing . . . "14,000 Island Dressing".

Which McDonald's origin are we talking about? When the McDonald brothers opened their stand, or after Ray Kroc bought the name and started franchising it?

Curiously, if one googles it, the top of the page mentions Des Plaines, Illinois, for some unknown reason, so this one is forgivable.

There was a guy named Ray Kroc from Illinois that took the McDonald brothers idea and made it national, so San Bernadino is correct - the confusion arises quite often it seems!

I guess I'm either very bored or too easily amused. Time to go put the kettle on and deal with reality for a while.

My wife and I visited a nudist resort inTexas in the 90s that had a sign that said "No gentile jewelry allowed"! We had a good laugh and got out of there.

My one question about many of these posts. There are so many ways to confirm spelling and facts on the internet unlike us old folks who used to have to refer to encyclopedias. There is no excuse to be so dumb and uninformed spouting baloney to others. These people drive, vote and might be able to procreate.
