This in another form is The Dunning-Kruger Effect. ![[Image: thumbs-up.gif]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=dl.dropbox.com%2Fu%2F52566856%2FRatz%2Fthumbs-up.gif)
Wikpedia Wrote:The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled people make poor decisions and reach erroneous conclusions, but their incompetence denies them the metacognitive ability to recognize their mistakes. The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their ability as above average, much higher than it actually is, while the highly skilled underrate their own abilities, suffering from illusory inferiority.
Actual competence may weaken self-confidence, as competent individuals may falsely assume that others have an equivalent understanding. As Kruger and Dunning conclude, "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" (p. 1127).
(Aspects of cognitive dissonance reflect similar asymmetries.)

Mine isn't very awesome, it's actually the Turkish name for the movie based on Chingiss Aitmatov's short story "the girl with the red scarf".
It's also an instrumental song by Moğollar.

"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."

I just noticed how much I like Stimba's sig:
Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.
Sounds like good advice to me.

I thought I thought it up but the devil is such a deceiving character so I can't be sure from whence came my inspiration.
Anyway Happy Aus Day heathens.
