Looking at the screens too much in the cyber cave?
Trios always make for interesting relationships....

The world looks like a mess and there is too much wrong to right?
Feel chilly and need a friend?
I see three superheroos via google images and (come for the cats stay for the empathy) reddit in a short story of freindship.

This is a very important concept. Only rarely, if at all, does one have 100% of the truth about something. You must continually question even things about which you think you have the stone cold truth.

The American Dunning-Kruger Epidemic (Or Why Ignorant People Are So Sure They're Right)

Authored by Daisy Luther via The Organic Prepper blog,

It’s time to address an epidemic in the United States. It’s one that could be deadly, particularly to liberty.

It’s an epidemic of Dunning-Kruger. It’s why ignorant people are so certain that they’re right.

What’s that, you ask?

The Dunning Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which individuals, who are unskilled at a particular task, believe themselves to possess above-average ability in performing the task. On the other hand, as individuals become more skilled in a particular task, they may mistakenly believe that they possess below-average ability in performing those tasks because they may assume that all others possess equal or greater ability. In other words, “the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others.” (source)

Some of our most stubborn misbeliefs arise not from primitive childlike intuitions or careless category errors, but from the very values and philosophies that define who we are as individuals. Each of us possesses certain foundational beliefs—narratives about the self, ideas about the social order—that essentially cannot be violated: To contradict them would call into question our very self-worth. As such, these views demand fealty from other opinions. And any information that we glean from the world is amended, distorted, diminished, or forgotten in order to make sure that these sacrosanct beliefs remain whole and unharmed…
