CORRECTIONS:
1) Someone posted: "A 10x increase is actually an increase of 900%, not 1000%. Remember that an increase of 100% is 2x."
2) And another example of how my math sucks: "@williamverhoef4349 wrote:
At 9:34: 10/10,000 = 1/1000 = 0.001 = 0.1%"
3) A couple of people pointed out that the spike in Google searches for 'flat Earth' following Lamar's announcement does not mean they all started believing in a flat Earth. i should have said they 'became interested' in a flat Earth.
This video has been re-uploaded for several reasons:
1) I got a lot of 'complaints' that the two Dunning-Kruger effect graphs I used are not in the Kruger and Dunning study. I never said they were, of course, and it should be pretty obvious that these are just drawings designed to illustrate what has become known as the Dunning-Kruger effect. This was in the video description, but a lot of people did not read it.
2) There were a couple of occasions when I wrong attributed principles to the Kruger and Dunning paper, rather than the Kruger-Dunning effect. That was a mistake, which I am now happy to correct in the video. If you don't mind me saying so, that is the difference between research and Do-your-own-research. When you research something and discover it's wrong, you correct yourself, and go with what is correct. When you DYOR, you look for what you believe in and refuse to correct it, even when it turns out to be wrong.
3) The Dunning-Kruger Effect was never in Kruger and Dunning paper, which is why I made the distinction. The former is a principle popularised and inspired by the paper. Again, I made that clear in the video description, but this time it has been spelled out in the video itself.
My apologies to those who had already started discussions in the other comments section. Please continue them here.
