  1. El peligro de juzgar en un segundo

    Por qué las redes sociales nos vuelven jueces exprés sin conocer la historia completa

    Caminas por la calle y ves a una persona gritando furiosa en medio de la acera. Lo primero que cruza por tu mente es que te encuentras ante alguien violento, maleducado y con pésimo carácter. Es una reacción casi automática. Sin embargo, lo que tu cerebro ignora en ese instante es el contexto. Quizá esa persona acaba de sufrir un asalto, recibió una noticia devastadora o está defendiendo a alguien. Este fenómeno tan común tiene un nombre en la psicología clínica y se conoce como el sesgo de correspondencia, o error fundamental de atribución. Consiste en la tendencia humana de juzgar la personalidad de los demás basándonos únicamente en una acción aislada, dejando de lado por completo las circunstancias que provocaron esa conducta.

    En el ecosistema de las redes sociales, este error de juicio se multiplica de forma alarmante. Las plataformas digitales están diseñadas para la inmediatez y el consumo rápido. El cerebro humano, que por naturaleza busca ahorrar energía y esfuerzo cognitivo, prefiere tomar la información más llamativa y cercana para sacar una conclusión veloz. En lugar de investigar, leer los antecedentes, el contexto o buscar la noticia completa, nos quedamos con el video de diez segundos o el título escandaloso de la publicación. Saltamos directo a la yugular con los adjetivos calificativos y a los insultos porque la pantalla nos deshumaniza y nos hace sentir protegidos detrás del teclado.

    A esta mezcla tan explosiva se le une un invitado muy conocido en el análisis de la conducta llamado el efecto Dunning-Kruger. Este concepto explica que las personas con menos conocimiento sobre un tema suelen ser las que experimentan una mayor seguridad falsa y se sienten con el derecho absoluto de opinar como si fuesen expertas. En el mundo virtual, cualquiera que lee un párrafo de tres líneas siente que posee la verdad histórica, médica o legal para linchar públicamente a otra persona sin entender realmente lo que pasa. El problema no es solo la falta de información, sino la incapacidad de reconocer la propia ignorancia, lo que cierra la puerta a cualquier intento de empatía o comprensión.

    Para contrarrestar esta oleada de juicios exprés, el primer paso es aprender a pausar nuestro propio pensamiento. Cuando veas algo que encienda tu indignación en internet, recuerda que estás observando apenas una pieza diminuta de un rompecabezas mucho más grande. Pregúntate qué pasó antes de que la cámara empezara a grabar o qué eventos privados arrastra el protagonista de la historia. Dejar de juzgar a la primera no te hace menos crítico, al contrario, demuestra una madurez intelectual y un respeto profundo por la verdad que tanta falta nos hace en la actualidad, hagamos del fediverso un mejor lugar.

  2. Der bekannte Dunning-Kruger-Effekt gerät weiter unter Druck. Eine neue Studie zeigt, dass das klassische Muster wohl teilweise durch statistische Effekte entsteht. Nach methodischer Korrektur zeigt sich sogar ein gegenteiliger Zusammenhang:

    Mit höherer Fähigkeit kann auch Überkonfidenz zunehmen.

    Das widerlegt nicht die gesamte Forschung, schwächt aber die populäre Vorstellung vom „selbstsicheren Inkompetenten“ deutlich.

  3. Ich gehe fest davon aus, dass Merz das tatsächlich so meint, wenn er sagt, er will das Beste für das Land.
    Das erklärt auch seine tiefe Angefressenheit und Enttäuschung, wenn er kritisiert wird. Er empfindet das wahrscheinlich als Kritik an seiner Person, selbst wenn Kritik sachlich bleibt.

    Nur ist Merz halt leider Dunning-Kruger auf Steroiden und merkt einfach nicht, dass er Vollgas auf eine Klippe zusteuert und dass es nicht mehr Tempo braucht, sondern einen sehr krassen Richtungswechsel.

    Das soll jetzt kein Plädoyer für Mitleid werden. Ich denke nur, es ist wichtig, hinter die Fassade zu schauen, um zu verstehen, dass diesen Mann weder Petitionen noch Demos von seinem Höllenritt in die Verderbnis abhalten werden.

    Die Ja-Sager, mit denen er sich in Trump'scher Manier umgibt, werden es in jedem Fall nicht rausreißen.

  4. RE: psicospace.it/effetto-dunning-

    L’effetto Dunning-Kruger ci ricorda una cosa scomoda: spesso chi sa poco tende a sopravvalutarsi, mentre chi conosce davvero un tema è più consapevole dei propri limiti.

    Non è solo una curiosità da manuale di psicologia, è un modo utile per capire come valutiamo noi stessi, la nostra conoscenza e le nostre competenze.

    #LLM|s are Dunning-Kruger Reshapers & Amplifiers.

    I made Mr. Slop-A-Lot create this meme.

  6. This is Pauline Hanson, Australia's very own orange Trump — right down to the hair, the bluster, and the endless victimhood.
    When asked about taxpayers forking out $150k+ a year for her daughter Lee Hanson to "campaign full-time in Tasmania" while on the payroll as an adviser to a NSW senator, this was her classy response to the journalist:

    "Honestly, you never give up. I've never seen a person that's such a trashy journalist... you've got this obsession with constantly trying to pull down myself, my party, or Mrs Rinehart."

    Simple question: What does it say about the political IQ of the Australians who keep voting for this?

  7. How does a thing like #DunningKruger ever profilate in the evolutionary lineup, you may find yourself wondering?

    But our psychology of "getting shit done" doesn't actually rely on knowing the facts. It's based on confidence. Confidence might include facts or it might not.

    Very smart people who know a lot of facts sometimes get choice paralysis and anxiety. IMO this is why we have such a high profilation of Dunning-Kruger. Evolution does evolution things!

  8. In their final act on the national stage, the #boomer generation left the #USA with a #supplyshock, #joblessness and #stagflation. And never once did their #dunningkruger diminish, so there will be no apology, no introspection. Only surprise that we are not enthusiastically supporting funding for their statues. #boomers

  10. @Bot4Sale @msdropbear42 I agree… but that’s exactly the problem.
    How does anyone watch Sky News Australia and not question why it’s so consistently one sided?
    At some point you’d think viewers would ask why it’s not just reporting facts and letting people make up their own minds.

  11. In a post to his Truth Social propaganda mouth piece, Trump posted, "As everyone knows, | am an extraordinarily brilliant person.."

    Trump's post belongs in the dictionary as an example of the Dunning-Kruger effect

  12. 🤔 Random thought. I do not mean this in a pejorative way. More anthropologically speaking, in terms of "studying people" and observing their interactions with each another & emerging tech.

    – How folks choose to use AI (or not) reveals little glimpses into one's thought process and ability (willingness?) to pay attention to seemingly inconsequential details. Code nuance, so to speak.

    – In that way, it is a bit like the phenomena of the Dunning-Kruger effect. That is a fascinating story (link in the comments). Two psychologists posited that without a certain baseline level of self-awareness, humans tend to over-estimate their own abilities.

    – I think that tends to compound with AI. Someone can prompt their way to passable results. Which to the untrained eye (vibe-* coder, designer, businessperson) look just like the "real thing."

    – Emulating versions of success they have seen others have. Without comprehension. Like me in the 1990s, thinking if I could wear Air Jordans then… Maybe? A half-Asian kid could play basketball at that level.

    Such workflows tend to result in some comical outcomes. Those who create the vibe-work present it to others who vibe-evaluate it, and everyone continues along happily until something breaks. That inadvertently places a heavier burden on those who understand the fundamentals, to serve as a backstop against quality control.

    I half-jokingly said to another principal engineer friend:

    > "I miss the days when iffy devs tended to move slowly. Now they can churn out iffy stuff at ludicrous speed."

    Essentially, the difference between these statements.

    1️⃣ "AI writes better code than me. It can keep large chunks of contextual details straight. Whereas I cannot. Ergo, AI is better at writing code than all developers."

    2️⃣ "AI writes better code than me. I use it to generate things that appear correct to my eyes. However, levels of human competence exist beyond my own."

  13. "Or what they consider that to be. That is what makes them so unpredictable. Consequently, they couldn’t care less about international law.

    Second parallel: their megalomania has led to massive military miscalculation."

  14. "Both Putin and Trump clearly acted out of a kind of megalomania. Their behaviour is evil and unlawful, but rational motives are not the decisive factors. Rather, Putin and Trump are primarily concerned with their own greatness. Or what they consider that to be."

  15. Greg Dworkin quotes Acyn of MeidasTouch, who says,

    "Trump on Iran: We really had regime change. This is a change in the regime because the leaders are all different. I think we can say this is regime change."

    Dworkin responds:

    "A 6 year old could do deeper analysis."

  16. "This is the first war of my lifetime that lacks even a coherent phony justification. It's also the first war of my lifetime in which the president who launched it is simultaneously engaged in a desperate search for a trapdoor through which he can escape."

  17. "Especially in an administration so driven by the whims of one man, that man’s ignorance and unearned confidence can have a profound, even catastrophic effect. In the Iran war, we can see Trump’s ignorance operating at multiple levels from the general to the specific, each of which has its own consequences."

  18. "We have ourselves a Dunning-Kruger president, one who is supremely confident in his abilities on a range of topics where he is completely ignorant. And now he has taken us into a Dunning-Kruger war, defined by that fatal combination of ignorance and confidence."
