    Don’t confuse your capacity to understand with other people’s capacity to explain.

      No individual really has any way to discern the two, from their own perspective. Except in retrospect, anyway. One can only guess, based on an assessment of one’s own general intelligence and linguistic facility. Which obviously is not something you, an internet stranger, have any access to.

        It’s actually pretty simple, if you’re superior to everyone else you’re living in a delusion created to couch your own inferiority complex.

          Luckily that’s not what I believe. But people in this particular thread have been incredibly disappointing

              If I’m saying that people are disappointing then it means they’re less than my expectation and thus not confirming anything.

              In contrast, you confirm the expectations I have developed of you in particular with each successive reply.

                Yes, it’s classic Donning-krueger.

                Anything that would disprove your confirmation bias is simply filtered out.

                  Which is it - “Donning”-Kruger or confirmation bias? And why are you still talking to me if you think I’m incapable of changing my mind? Lmao.

                  You obviously haven’t observed enough of me to justify this judgement, and hence there’s no evidence I can offer you to convince you you’re wrong. So with you having long abandoned any attempt to argue your case and instead just browbeating me, I certainly don’t find any compelling reason to continue talking to you. Bye.

                  If we interact again, try to imagine yourself in the shoes of someone who doesn’t hold your opinions, and shape your argument to convince that person.

                    Donning-Kruger means a permanent confirmation bias, so it’s both.

                    If we do talk again, I’ll try to put myself in the shoes of someone who is euphoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessings. But because he is enlightened by his own intelligence.
