You ever watch a youtube video or read an article and look at the comments. Then say to yourself none of you know what you are talking about. It happens very often. Im not the smartest person in the world but I will do a little research before commenting. Also I have never seen someone leave a youtube comment in real life.

Avy to post

This especially true when you know a little bit about sumn, and then another person is tryna talk like some expert but they're making the most simplest mistakes its like....bruh...you making a fool outta yourself and for what?

facts

like when someone says still water is better than sparkling

It happens in sports the most

if you've ever visited a subreddit on a topic you know a lot about and see what they are saying and what is getting upvoted you will never look at the internet the same its a paradigm shift

it happens pretty equally across almost all subjects tbh

its just human nature, dunning-kruger s***

there was one post in this other thread earlier that made me think this exact thought.

same type s*** is when someone THINKS they are recalling something correctly, some chain of events from a past time, and just completely fill the story/information with like 90% cap.

yea s*** like that makes me think precisely "wtf is this person saying?"

Until I got to college I didn’t realize that no one has a clue what’s going on

Just look at reddit people will comment based on news clickbait title before actually reading the article itself

True, I may notice the sports one more

Yep, especially when the topic is more subjective

Yeah whatever you are most knowledgeable about is gonna be the space you most experience it.

Poor performers have not yet acquired the ability to distinguish between good and bad performances. They tend to overrate themselves because they do not see the qualitative difference between their performances and the performances of others.

This definition lends itself to a simple explanation of the effect: incompetence often includes being unable to tell the difference between competence and incompetence, which is why it is difficult for the incompetent to recognize their incompetence.

yeah music, cars, USA social issues, video games and animals mainly dogs, wildcats & reptiles are the ones for me

everyone (well most people) are knowledgeable in at least one thing tho, everyone does know and not know what theyre talking about its a subject to subject n person to person basis

i will never comment on sports because I have no interst a all in it

i dont like talking politics much outside of usa things but im not comfortable at all on other countries, it took me so long to getr a good grasp domestically n many years of reading wtf do i know outside of very surface level s*** of another country politically or socially

i wont talk on movies i barely watch any its rare i will even watch one in a year lol my entertainment is video games, music, yt and the occasional anime i barely watch tv shows and i never watch movies unless its a friend(s), family or date thing

things i will only speak on lightly are fashion, paintings, technology things I have a passing interest in but havent dived super deep

i think most people just need to realize they dont know literally everything nor do they have to have an input on anything and thats ok

Another thing is that I like a hot take, especially if they have a good reasoning but most of the time its just like cmon man really

i’m afraid you will have to let this pass

Knowing that you don't know what you're talking about is possibly the #1 thing that people don't know

hot takes are sometimes not even really hot, more just large minority opinion.
the true hot takes are needed though for the greater good.

this is what ppl said/still say about journalism

once you read something written for the general public about your trade or profession or area of expertise, and see how some s*** just ain't so, you begin to wonder how accurate the things they say abt other s*** that you take for granted

Big facts

Sometimes the bait/hot takes starts the best conversations

Basically the midwit problem in a nutshell

kinda like op doin rn
