The Dunning-Kruger Effect

The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities.  It was first described by the psychologists David Dunning and Just Kruger in 1999.
From:Wikipedia.org The Dunning-Kruger Effect


Basically, the Dunning-Kruger effect is where people think they know more than they actually do. They are basically confident and clueless. The most glaring example of this is our current President.

I would submit that another glaring example of this is Umar Johnson.  Why are the effects of the Dunning-Kruger Effect so potentially dangerous, especially if those who operate under it are in a position of authority or posing as one in a position of authority.

The Effects of the Dunning-Kruger Effect

Making poor decisions

Poor decision making can affect any and all areas of one's life, including, career, relationships, and family.  Because one suffering under the Dunning-Kruger Effect, believing they know more than they do, can make poor choices, such as making purchases one cannnot afford.

Resisting feedback

Because those suffering from the Dunning-Kruger Effect already believe they "know it all," they cannot accept constructive criticism, leading to mistrust, and a lack of personal and professional growth.

Forming opinions based on misinformation

Overly confident or arrogant people often form opinions on what they think they know rather than basing their opinions on facts and evidence.  This can often lead to the spread of false information or rejection of rules and evidence, which can have dangerous consequences.

How to Avoid the Dunning-Kruger Effect

Realize that not knowing something doesn't make you unintelligent.  It just means there is something you don't know.  You can take the time and effort to learn about a topic and gain more confidence as you improve your knowlege.

Learn to take criticism constructively and use that constructive criticisms to make positive adjustments.

Challenge yourself to not make assumptions in order to avoid jumping to conclusions.  Look for facts and evidence.  Doing ths will help you be more thoughtful about the conclusions you draw.

If only those who suffer under the Dunning-Kruger Effect, who I believe included Umar Johnson, would take heed.

Don't Believe the Hype

Take a bit of advice from Public Enemy, please. Don't believe the hype ! What hype am I talking about? The idea the Umar Johnson has actually acquired a building, in my view, is a bunch of hype. Umar Johnson claims the has bought a building, or a set of buildings located at 610 - 611 East 17th Street in Wilmington, DE. Okay So, let's look at the records. Exhibit One is the records of recent sales in New Castle County, Wilmington, DE Exhibit One - Recent real estate sales in New Castle County, Wilmington, DE Let's look at Exhibit Two below where we see that the last purchase of this property was in 2017.

Baby Mamma Number Three...

Umar Johnson has no right to tell anyone anything about families, children, or education as far as I'm concerned. Why? Because, y'all, Umar has just been "tagged" with Baby Mamma Number Three. I will not do the woman involved the disservice of putting her name out on this blog, but just pay attention to the video  below. This man, who is clearly irresponsible , who is telling you that he needs your donations to create a school for Black boys, although he can't explain where the money is , who tells you he isn't going to show you his plan because y'all too stupid to understand, unless you have a $10,000 check , then he can let you in on the plan, with his tax liens and a pretend relationship to Frederick Douglass, AND who has six degrees , none of which he has shown, who lies about celibacy , who has THREE, count 'em, THREE baby mammas , yet he is unapologetically African , who doesn't respect any man who is not committed to a Black wo...

Damnitall to hell!  I was just here, minding my own business, progressing and enjoying my life! BUT... I've sat back and watch more of Umar Johnson with his lies, schemes, scams, disrespect, danger, hypocrisy, usury, foolery, fuckery, and disregard of Black people and I'm beyond sickened of what I'm seeing in this goddamned fool who supposedly has six degrees. Oh my God!  Where do I start? Weakness At this block party, there were people, supposedly the New Black Panther Party, allegedly had assault weapons pointing down at the crowd from a roof of the trap bandos.  From what I understand of the laws of Delaware concerning open-carry weapons, having open-carry assault weapons is illegal.   Thank the heavens that nothing happened.  But, that situation, in and of itself is dangerous, especially with women, children and elders present.  Why have that at a "family" oriented block party?  What was Umar Johnson expecting?  Did he reall...
