When you find out about Dunning-Kruger and realise that that's why everyone else in the world is so stupid apart from you.

Unlike most people, I see what you did there.

"You ever notice how stupid the average person is? Now realize that half of them are dumber than that!"

I sometimes genuinely expect people to know "basic quantum mechanics" and I'll start ranting about it as if they have some background knowledge and then when I saw the moon might not exist if I don't look at it my roommate looks at me like I'm crazy.

I do the same with psychology. Except it's worse because people think they DO know psychology when they absolutely don't

I'm so glad I don't have to deal with people pretending to know physics that often. Usually I just get "why the fuck did you major in physics" and then I go cry

This is telling a lot about your psyche.

Makes me smile, but ... Dr. Cog, can you try a bit deeper?
