We're not the ones with dumbass ideas, and we know how to run things so they actually work.

We live in the real world.

I read this study and the method they use to measure "education" is absurd.

For example, one of the questions asked responders if "systematic obstacles remain the dominant barrier facing African Americans". If you answered "no", the authors of the study marked you as uneducated.

That is a bizarre measurement technique.

Another question asked responders if "guns are an important tool for self-defense". If you are answered "yes", you are marked as uneducated.

Trump won among white college-educated voters. I wouldn't trust affirmative action college-educated voters to pour piss out of a boot.

As predicted, the results showed that those who scored low on political knowledge were also the ones who overestimated their level of knowledge. But that wasn’t all. When participants were given cues that made them engage in partisan thought, the Dunning-Kruger effect was made even stronger. This occurred with both Republicans and Democrats, but only in those who scored low on political knowledge to begin with.


quote:

While the results of Anson’s study suggest that being uninformed leads to overconfidence across the political spectrum, studies have shown that Democrats now tend to be generally more educated than Republicans, possibly making the latter more vulnerable to the Dunning-Kruger effect. In fact, a Pew Research Center poll released in March of this year found that 54 percent of college graduates identified as Democrats or leaned Democratic, compared to 39 percent who identified or leaned Republican.

They're equating people with college degrees with being smarter or more informed than those without. That's a completely false premise.
quote:

This speculation is supported by evidence from empirical studies. In 2016, an experiment found that 45 percent of Republicans believed that the Affordable Care Act included “death panels,” and a 2015 study similarly found that 54 percent of Republican primary voters believed then-president Barack Obama to be a Muslim.

Most Democrats believe Trump colluded with Russia despite no concrete evidence. That's the same premise.

quote:

Unfortunately, Anson’s study shows that getting through to these people becomes more and more difficult as the nation becomes more divided. And with Trump’s fiery rhetoric and fear-mongering, that divide appears to always be growing wider.

This was a pretty pathetic political piece disguised as a scientific study. The fact that someone with a PhD would put something out there as if it were a valid study is a pretty good indicator of just how much TDS has affected them.

This is an extremely sloppy piece that would embarrass anyone with an ounce of shame.

The study didn’t show that at all. Liar.

And when your article links to Huffpo, it’s probably biased.
