This is the lemmy.ca AmA.

To ensure a respectful, enjoyable, and inclusive experience for everyone involved, we have established the following rules and guidelines:

Practice Politeness and Courtesy:
- Use polite and considerate language when asking questions or engaging in discussions.

- Avoid spamming or repeating the same question multiple times. Give others a chance to ask their questions as well.

-Use NSFW and trigger warning TW in brackets if you talk about sensitive subject.

Respect Boundaries and Privacy:
- Do not ask personal or invasive questions unless the participant explicitly invites such queries.
- If a participant declines to answer a question or requests to move on from a topic, respect their boundaries without pressuring them for a response.

Engage in Meaningful Discussions:
- Prioritize thought-provoking and insightful questions that foster engaging conversations.
- Be open to different perspectives and use the AMA as an opportunity to learn and broaden your understanding.

Remember, these rules and guidelines are in place to ensure a positive and informative environment for all participants. Failure to comply may result in 3 strikes warnings, temporary restrictions, or permanent bans at the discretion of the moderators.

in the future, a mod check and balance system might be implemented . Subject to change : [You might appeal your ban by contacting a special appointed moderator to judge if the ban was abusive.

Special appointed mod can create jury like conversation with randomly chosen users with jury votes to decide if bans are legit or not.]

Do you think that there is like an opposite to the Dunning/Kruger effect were really smart people think of them selves as dumber than they really are

I've tended to score suspiciously high on most aptitude/iq type tests my entire life (70s kid, among the earliest ADD diagnoses, etc) and tbh i think I am quite a lot dumber than those tests imply.

Show of hands all y'all "talented and gifted" kids that never did nuthin ...

*edit: to be clear, I don't think 'raw intelligence' or anything similar necessarily confers a lot of life benefits. It can, but doesn't always or maybe even most of the time.

Absolutely, though I wouldn't say it's an opposite Dunning/Kruger, just that smart people are further along the x-axis.

Having the knowledge to understand how much you don't know is both a blessing and a curse.

The curse: It is hard to project a true sense of authority, because to yourself, you do not believe you're competent enough.

The blessing: humility. You understand that everyone fits on the graph somewhere.
