BREAKING NEWS: A deal has been done

[Whorty]

Yes, agreed, but then you are SO much cleverer than the rest of us. It must be so frustrating to be cleverer and richer and happier than everyone else

So glad you agree with me. Good boy. Now go and do your homework before tea-time

So, what are the differences between Boris’ wonderful deal and the terrible May deal that he resigned over?

Looks like just the backstop, everything else looks the same to me...

Incompetent people tend to:

Overestimate their own skill levels
Fail to recognize the genuine skill and expertise of other people
Fail to recognize their own mistakes and lack of skill

Anyone who has interacted with senior permie management will recognise this effect...seems without this your chances of promotion are very low...

I was listening to a podcast about bias in User Research with either Dunning or Kruger, I can’t remember which one it was. And he said that he is astounded with the number of people who misinterpreted the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Not really pertinent to the thread but a fascinating listen none the less

Evidently.

That's not fair!

It has been proven that remainers have a higher IQ than leavers

It doesn't say that.

It doesn't say Leavers are thick.


It says Leavers are... stupid

Brexit has its risks. But staying in the EU is now unthinkable | The Spectator

[Cirrus]

This article doesn't

The psychometrics article was talking factually about what Brexiteers are like. It accords with my assessment of the few friends I have that voted Brexit: inclined to believe any old nonsense without questioning it, and more inclined to be reckless. Be clear: this personality trait pattern leads to above average success and above average happiness but unfortunately also leads to sub-optimal actual outcomes (as distinct from the perception such people have of the outcomes). Generally speaking my view is live-and-let-live but when their flawed decision-making leads to a super-massive cock-up like Brexit then the rest of us have to intervene and say "No, stop it".

The Spectator article is just a sermon from the pulpit of the Brexit Church. You may like what is says or you may not. It's not however in any way factual.

For what it's worth, I think the article is bollox. The Tories asked for a load of nonsense and then set off on an impossible, ridiculous track (courtesy of 17 million idiots) and the EU unsurprisingly said "They have zero chance of winning this game so we'll just sit back and quietly let them stew in their own juices"
