In fact, too stupid to know they are retarded.


I recall reading a study about intellectual ability.

Stupid people were too stupid to realize they were stupid. They thought they were brilliant!

Smart people were smart enough to know they were ignorant about a great many things. Smart people tend to be humble because of their ignorance.

The study you are referring to is known as the Dunnin-Kruger Effect. It goes a long way toward explaining Leftist thought...

That’s the Dunning-Kruger effect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect
