IQ, Psy Ops and the “Civilization” of the Scam
"There is therefore a kind of Dunning-Kruger effect for
different IQ distribution groups, not just the presumed superiority of
the lower IQ groups’ delusion, but also in higher groups where we
encounter the pillars and engines of social order (scientists, doctors,
lawyers, etc.). This class of persons curiously suffers its own forms
of deluded superiority owing to the same ego-fragility and relativistic
delusions that recall Socrates’ questioning to the artisans and
politicians of his day. Whether it be the local craftsman or the
slightly more clever (or cunning) politician, Socrates discovered the
same delusion persisted, that each class of persons presumed to know,
when in fact, they did not. And for both the lower class wage worker,
up to the 'wise' politician, the delusory effect was the same."
