The ReplyGuy-ism and sense of entitlement — Vance thinks he's owed the opportunity to a "debate" about theology with the Pope, or that he can school the Pope on religious doctrine — is breathtaking.

Why Do the Least Qualified Often End Up in Power?
Machiavelli saw it coming centuries ago—and modern psychology backs him up.

@joannaholman Trumpet of Patriots is a bunch of folks who don't know as much as they think they know, and can't listen to experts.

Trumpet of Patriots should sign-off their ads with: "Written, spoken, and authorised by the Dunning–Kruger effect."

This makes me wonder about a #DunningKrugerEffect in #age #perception: do people who poorly estimate people's age tend to be more overconfident in their age estimates?
If so, my wisdom of crowds experiments make me think that people's assessments of my age may tell me more about *them* than me.
