    I was reading a news article about anti-vaxxers, this prompted me to once again ponder the 'Dunning-Kruger Effect', as it surely has relevance here.

    And this led me here: https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/articl...ty-for-dummies

    Some parts of society are what I call 'constructively ignorant' and are so wilful in their attitude that they actively refuse education or enlightenment, leading to their inability to respond to everyday life in a worthwhile way. I'd expect many repeat offender criminals fall into this group.

    You need to be well informed to estimate how ignorant you may be.

    It would appear that most, if not all, of the current Cabinet suffer badly from the Dunning-Kruger effect.

    Would this apply to the middle class parents who refused regular vaccines for their kids back in the 90s/00s? Until they had their bums slapped by govt.

    I am certain that he would have no recollection of ever having met me; wonder if he will give me £20,000,000

    If you're referring to when you worked at Pizza Express, I'm sure he would remember you. I'm told your 12" meat feast is unforgettable
