When you find out about Dunning-Kruger and realise that that's why everyone else in the world is so stupid apart from you.
I sometimes genuinely expect people to know "basic quantum mechanics" and I'll start ranting about it as if they have some background knowledge and then when I saw the moon might not exist if I don't look at it my roommate looks at me like I'm crazy.
The funniest part of this comment to me is that it could be said unironically either by someone educated in college or on tiktok
I sometimes expect people to know "basic physics," which is apparently a bit much to ask sometimes. I don't mean having a firm grasp on what e=mc² actually means, I don't even have that. I'm talking about a firm grasp on energy simply being the capacity to do work, and the basic fact that there is no free energy device.
No, you cannot charge an electric car while it's driving by putting wind turbines on it. No, you cannot use gear ratios to achieve overunity. No, magnets can't solve the problem either.
PS, if you firmly believe that crystals vibrate on higher frequencies (eta: and that vibration can somehow heal you or something), but can't describe what frequency amethyst vibrates at in hertz, you are what Dunning and Kruger set out to study
I mean, pulling it back for a second, what the fuck would an "abstract study" even be about? What, would you publish the results of your thought experiment?
An abstract study has yet to be implemented. You cannot run an abstract study on it's own. Otherwise, it can be about anything.
for non programmers
An abstract class is a concept in programming.
void* study();
Journal of Philosophy would like a word.
Also every scientist who works in theoretical disciplines.
Clearly it's a meta analysis of abstracts.
It's just a study done on a higher abstraction level. Like looking at CPU as a collection of logic gates instead of transistors. Or programming in C instead of assembly.
Same problem in the abstract art business. Too many artists publish only a summary of their painting or song, instead of the whole deal.
What's the context for this?
A summary of a scientific paper is called an abstract, it’s a stripped down version of what the paper is covering.
The joke is that this person is not scientifically literate enough to understand that “abstract” in this context has a different meaning than in other fields of study like art
It's abstract, you wouldn't get it.
