How am I misapplying it?Who doesn't do it?No, if I were a psychologist I would have explained to you that your brain cannot live in conflict so you need to rationalize things to confirm your bias.Are you a psychologist? Or just pretend to be one on the interwebs?^ dunning effectI believe it wasn't until just recently that the right even admitted that we have a class structure in our society. And they probably don't even realize they admitted it. LolTen to one, the poorly educated rubes never read anything by Marx or Engels, just boogie men that faux "news" told them about. Marx Engels Soros, Alinsky etc, just trigger words.

The reality is that what you just did was a textbook example of the dunning effect. Which is why you are not arguing that it wasn't.
I don't believe you are applying the dunning effect properly Dr.
And no, not everyone assumes they are superior to others and that others are inferior to them. That's the dunning effect in a nutshell. Its application extends to beyond intelligence.
Intelligent people see themselves as nothing special and don't see others as less than special.
