“Not knowing the scope of your own ignorance is part of the human condition. The problem with it is we see it in other people, and we don't see it in ourselves. The first rule of the Dunning–Kruger club is you don't know you're a member of the Dunning–Kruger club.”

"An ignorant mind is precisely not a spotless, empty vessel, but one that’s filled with the clutter of irrelevant or misleading life experiences, theories, facts, intuitions, strategies, algorithms, heuristics, metaphors, and hunches that regrettably have the look and feel of useful and accurate knowledge…
What’s curious is that, in many cases, incompetence does not leave people disoriented, perplexed, or cautious. Instead, the incompetent are often blessed with an inappropriate confidence, buoyed by something that feels to them like knowledge." ~ David Dunning

Imposter Syndrome is a Humblebrag
Tumblr media
Everyone seems to want to talk about imposter syndrome these days. I find it tiresome and pretentious. Why pretentious? Isn’t it a mark of humility to admit that one experiences imposter syndrome? No. Imposter syndrome is a humblebrag.
The online Merriam-Webster dictionary defines humblebrag as follows:
“...to make a seemingly modest, self-critical, or casual statement or reference that is meant to draw attention to one's admirable or impressive qualities or achievements.” 
The Urban Dictionary puts it like this:
“ When you, usually consciously, try to get away with bragging about yourself by couching it in a phony show of humility.”
I suspect that loud and visible proclamations of imposter syndrome is intended as a strategy to preempt any change of suffering from the Dunning-Kruger effect, which David Dunning described as follows:
“...the scope of people's ignorance is often invisible to them. This meta-ignorance (or ignorance of ignorance) arises because lack of expertise and knowledge often hides in the realm of the “unknown unknowns” or is disguised by erroneous beliefs and background knowledge that only appear to be sufficient to conclude a right answer.”
In publicly entertaining the claim that one feels like an imposter, one is stating that one is not at all unaware of one’s ignorance, and therefore one cannot reasonably be held to be ignorant of one’s ignorance. It’s an elegant twist on the moral psychology of the scholar, but now it is merely overused and predictable—making it a much less effective strategy than it was, say, ten years ago.  
I have attended scientific conferences in which imposter syndrome was explicitly discussed. I was sorely tempted to raise my hand and say, “Are you sure that you are not an imposter? Have you considered that perhaps you really don’t know what you’re talking about? Is it possible that you are a fraud?” Of course, I didn’t ask any of these awkward questions, which would have been to violate the implicit social contract of the gathering.
If you think you’re suffering from imposter syndrome, maybe you’re just deluded and you actually are an imposter.

We Are All Confident Idiots
“In many cases, incompetence does not leave people disoriented, perplexed, or cautious. Instead, the incompetent are often blessed with an inappropriate confidence, buoyed by something that feels to them like knowledge. (…) Because it’s so easy to judge the idiocy of others, it may be sorely tempting to think this doesn’t apply to you. But the problem of unrecognized ignorance is one that visits us all.”

Dunning-Kruger Etkisi: Cahil Cesareti
Dunning-Kruger Etkisi: Cahil Cesareti
Dunning-Kruger Etkisi: Cahil Cesareti Neden cahiller bu kadar cesurken, uzmanlar kendi bilgeliklerini küçümseme eylemindedir? Bazı kişiler bir konuda kabiliyetlerini değerlendirirken kendilerine çok güvenirler. Fakat sergiledikleri performans elde ettiği sonuçlar farklı olabilir. Yani kendileriyle ilgili yanlış bir öz değerlendirmede olabilirler. Peki bu durumun nedeni ne? Elde edilen…

Questioning The King?????
Spoiler for the new Solaire video
I will continue to love Samuel Collins.
My love.
My cowboy.
My mate.
Mans really said, "You will not jeopardize the family and happiness of my mate, the pack, or myself."
Is there anything sexier than a man who puts his family first??? I only wish him happiness. Darlin definitely outside digging holes around the Solaire property. I just know David is relieved he wont have to deal with any clan links to the pack. He's got a wedding to plan.
Also.....
THE KIDS ARE NOT ALRIGHT. I REPEAT. THE KIDS ARE NOT ALRIGHT.
I hate how broken up about everything Vincent feels. Just got back on good terms with his second dad and baby boy don't wanna hurt nobody. I know Lovely a ride or die for Vinny, and he has to know that too.
William has lost a good man this night. A duke if you will. He has lost any possible trust of the Shaw Pack. Gonna lose his son too if he keep playing these games. Too old for this shit.
William. Do better.

Big Trouble in Little China (1986)
Tumblr media
Big Trouble in Little China is an odd duck that blends several different genres together. It may not be for everyone but it’s got a lot of personality and is certainly memorable. It’s got such a unique feel that those who like it are sure to call it a new favorite.
Trucker Jack Burton (Kurt Russell) is accompanying his friend Wang Chi (Dennis Dun) as he travels to the airport to meet his fiancé after years apart. After landing, Miao Yin (Suzee Pai) is immediately kidnapped by a Chinese street gang. When our heroes learn that she is to be wed to an ancient sorcerer named Lo Pan (James Hong), what choice do they have but to infiltrate his lair and rescue her?
As soon as you meet Jack Burton, you know this will be a different kind of movie. Kurt Russell’s performance, his dialogue and his swagger make this protagonist an instant icon. He sticks out even more once we're properly introduced to the story because he doesn’t belong. He’s a no-nonsense meat-and-potatoes kind of guy. What does he know about ancient prophecies, a trio of warriors armed with elemental powers, or magic? It’s like the movie was originally meant to have Wang Chi as its protagonist but Jack stumbled in at the last second and stole the spotlight - which is precisely the appeal. He’s so out of place that everything feels like a surprise. The fact that everyone but him (and the audience) are “in the know” means that sometimes, this movie is just plain weird. There was no buildup to that monster! Where did it come from? Where did it go? If this was “Grave Dangers in the Great Kingdom” with Dennis Dun and Suzee Pai as the main characters, you wouldn’t question it. With Jack? it’s wild stuff.
Everything I’ve told you about this film so far should be a detriment. Instead, it’s a strength because this movie is effortlessly cool. Big Trouble in Little China does its own thing and is having a great time. You get the sense that everyone on set probably didn't understand what this was all building towards but they all got along so well and had such a great time that it didn’t matter. The enthusiasm is infectious. Though best known for his horror and science-fiction films, director John Carpenter’s mark is all over this movie. It's unmistakably his, even if it stands out among everything else he's made.
All that said, I wish I liked this movie more than I did. While it is fun, sometimes it can feel aimless and unpolished. Maybe it has a few too many characters. Jack and Wang Chi are joined by lawyer Gracie Law (Kim Cattral), an old enemy of Lo Pan played by Victor Wong, Wang’s friend Eddie Lee (Donald Li) and Eddie's love interest Margo Litzenberger (Kate Burton). Then there’s this other girl the villains mistake Miao Yin for… but then it turns out she also fulfills the role Lo Pan wants her to in the prophecy… and it gets to be a lot of a lot. It’s clear Jack Burton is not the kind of character that could ever learn any sort of lesson or change. He’s exactly who he needs to be now, and forever. That’s why you like him. Everyone else, however, is in major need of story arcs or character development, particularly in a story like this one that is under constant threat of being overwhelmed by its special effects, creatures and wild developments.
I was hoping a second viewing of Big Trouble in Little China would make me fall in love with it. Looks as though this movie just isn’t my thing. That makes it sound like I don’t like it. I do like it. It’s just that everything I see on screen tells me I should fall head over heels in love and I'm not. A funny thing happened when I did view it, however. Someone else in the room did fall for it completely. Their instant enthusiasm makes me wholeheartedly recommend the picture. I hope it turns out to be your kind of thing. Even it isn’t, there are a lot of laughs, surprises, and memorable moments in Big Trouble in Little China. (April 7, 2022)

i'm listening to the audiobook for good omens rn and i've always been under the impression that ppl who read the book first were happy with season 1 because from what i heard, the adaption was super close to the book. but now i'm looking through the book omens tag (only found out this existed today and i enjoyed looking at the fanart) and it seems like it's not as universally liked as i thought? for season 2 and even the ending of the season 1 i get why fans of the book may not enjoy it. but from what i've seen, the show characters' personalities were just slightly different enough that some people didn't like them at all.

i wanna keep the crowley hate to a minimum here because that's not the point of this blog and i don't want to alienate people who can still love him despite what happened but like.
i need to grieve for a minute.
i loved that demon so goddamn much, but seeing him force a kiss onto the character i project SO much of myself onto... god. i'm gonna miss him but yeah no i can't even look at him now.
it's going to take a lot and i mean a LOT of work to get me to feel like he is a safe and comforting character again. if that's possible.

So…. The next chapter of Return to Shore is about 70-80% done, but the Geordi audio has thrown me enough that I can’t focus on it. Apologies to @darlin-collins as I wanted to get it done and posted on her birthday. I will have it finished and up first thing tomorrow.
Right now I need to listen to Sam and get some sleep
