No clearer sign of an NPC than that 😂

>> What I do find mildly frustrating is when people are so confidentially sure of a position that they have almost zero knowledge in.

Dunning-Kruger at its finest

The curious mind is conscious of what it does not know, admits its shortcomings, and seeks the truth.

The NPC mind just Dunning-Krugers its way through life convinced of its own correctness.

NPC: would rather be "right" than find the truth

Type 1 at least has a grasp of the concept of “money printing”.

IMO Type 2 is more challenging to educate as politicians and financial illiterates happily feed their incorrect cause of general inflation.

The struggle is real

I’ve seen both but the ratio seems to be 1 to 5

Also, Trump’s import tariffs are highly inflationary as well as retarded.

I don't always pretend to know something about something that I know nothing at all. but when I do, I know it all.

welcome to the human race

they've been printing 7% more money for decades

productivity growth typically is 5%

7% - 5% is 2%, the targeted rate of inflation but really it should be negative 5%, which works just fine in the software or computer industry

Unfortunately I find this to be true with most people I know. They take a stance on a subject and stick to it even though you can tell they know nothing about what they are talking about and keep repeating the same sensational lies MSM keeps feeding them. People refuse to take even a little bit of time to research the things they think they know.

Read a book a long time ago called “People of the Lie” wherein the author M. Scott Peck defines evil as “ militant ignorance.”

So true

Then there is Yeats ... "The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity" (The Second Coming - 1920) ... or

Bertrand Russell "The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure, while the intelligent are full of doubt" (Stupidity Rules - 1933) ....

If only both sides could see the common enemy

💯

It’s like they’d bet their lives on it. Do I laugh or cry?!

“It's not so much that I get annoyed by people not knowing things. There's a million things I don't know. What I do find mildly frustrating is when people are so confidentially sure of a position that they have almost zero knowledge in.”

Aptly said. I sometimes struggle with my own internally held positions and wonder how anyone can be so god damned sure of themselves when it’s clear they haven’t really put in the work to understand the nuances of a concept
