It's pain dealing with people that think they can't fight because they know too little about fighting to know how much they actually know. Whoever you are, even if you're too tier MMA fighter there will always be guys that think they can beat you up in a fight even tho they never set foot in a ring. There is 2 reasons why people think they can fight. 1 delusion/dunning Kruger effect 2 insecurities. No matter how good you are you will hear. "There's no rules in street fight" "i would beat you up" and stuff like that.
The options talk I think is objectively good as it provides more insight on the situation and an opportunity for us as a community to learn quite a bit about how this situation might unfold however please reconsider trading options if you have absolutely no experience or even very little experience as they present huge risk. You can literally lose all your money trying to play them.
If you think you have learned and know everything about options because you have read a few books or posts, let me introduce you to the Dunning-Kruger effect:
>"TheΒ DunningβKruger effectΒ is theΒ cognitive biasΒ whereby people with lowΒ abilityΒ at a task overestimate their own ability. Some researchers include in their definition also the opposite effect for high performers: their tendency to underestimate their skills. The DunningβKruger effect is usually measured by comparingΒ self-assessmentΒ with objective performance. For example, the participants in a study may be asked to complete a quiz and then estimate how well they did. This subjective assessment is then compared to how well they actually did. This can happen either in relative or in absolute terms, i.e. in comparison to one's peer group as the percentage of peers outperformed or in comparison to objective standards as the number of questions that were answered correctly. The DunningβKruger effect appears in both cases but is more pronounced in relative terms: the bottom quartile of performers tend to see themselves as being part of the top two quartiles."
This means you very much probably should not be playing options just because you think you know what you are doing, you should ensure you have not only paper-trading experience with them for probably a number of years, but also real world experience with them before trading options. If you are a new trader because of Gamestop like I am, please consider staying well away from this risk until you are completely certain and familiar with what you are doing.
Actual good, safe drivers never state themselves to be "good drivers" because it's not a skill that needs to be spotlighted, while those who do claim to be "great drivers" are more likely to be the nutjob swerving between lanes and frequently cause near crashes which only entrenches their own belief of their superior driving skills. The Dunning-Kerig effect is the psychological response of being more confident in your proficiency in a skill than your ability should grant you, at least in English speaking countries, where in Japan it has been shown the opposite where individuals underestimate their own ability in a skill. To change my view, simply make a case that another set of individuals is a better example of the Dunning-Kerig Effect, and simply pointing towards those who hold political or religious beliefs with confidence isn't related to the Dunning-Kerig Effect since it is not a skill that can be demonstrated.
Edit: Auto corrected "DunningβKruger" to become "Dunning-Kerig", apologies
TDLR: are neuropsychologists and experts really that ignorant when it comes to identifying autism or are some suspected autistic people suffering under the dunning kruger effect? Can we really say that we know better than the experts?
After my neuropsych evaluation I shared a table listing suspected autistic traits concerning each of the three DSM-V criteria. I'm aware that many of these probably aren't symptoms, but for alot of these not everybody does these lol. I received the results today and in the notes the neuropsychologist wrote that I maintained eye contact well and could hold a conversation.
These two things, as you all obviously know, aren't intuitive to us and I don't sense the rhythm of conversation. However I could keep a conversation then because the conversation had purpose, a function! These things feel like playing chess. I wasn't able to articulate this or internal manifestations of my suspected ASD, and I thought I had a pretty strong case, I only shared the table before I left. But he also wrote this:
>[my name] is advised that reports in the research literature reflect that it is not terribly uncommon for individuals among the general population to evidence symptoms that might arguably be considered autistic in nature[source he cited, another source], and it is very common for lay individuals to read over the highly subjective diagnostic criteria for an ASD and loosely interpret such in a pathological direction.
The neuropsychologist had a few clusters of people, albeit probably related, who gave horrible reviews on google for feeling dismissed and not receiving an ASD diagnosis.
So is there something some of us laymen are missing? I mean, I know what's going on in my mind better than the neuropsych, but he's spend 12+ years training to do what he does with decades more experience, is (presumably) immersed in the literature, and has a large network of colleagues who can share ideas. Not to mention above average intelligence.
Those of you who are professionals or even live for your special interests, you observe how laymen swear they know what they're talking about when they're arguing about a subject they know not even the basics of. If we're humble we can admit that all of us are on the shore of a cosmi

Hi guys, today I had a "mentorship" call my FB Community set up for members. It was actually eye-opening but it made me kind of sad, unsure about where to go in the future.
I'm 22, currently designing and developing WordPress websites to small businesses and solopreneurs. It's not technically hard, but I'm just a drop of water in a sea of millions of WP "Devs" that click up your website in page builder. Somehow I managed to find enough business to bring me 4x the national average wage, so I though I was doing really well for my current situation.
However, looks like I'm setting myself up for a long-term failure with this kind of entrepreneurship. After my call with this mentor, I finally heard in words of another person what was already there in the back of my mind. I don't think I have anything really good to offer. I can make you a website, optimize your conversions, make a simple marketing campaign, but that's basically it. Anything above this scope is out of my hands and I'm stuck in a some sort of a hamster wheel of completing easy projects that don't make me grow as a person / improving my skills and yet not being able to take on bigger projects because of this same lack of technical skills.
On the other hand, I don't want to stay in the operative, I'd rather just improve my sales and marketing and do design while someone else actually implements it. But even if I take on this path, I just become one out of the many professionals that offer web design.
So basically in a matter of 30 minutes, I hit both the top and the bottom of the Dunning-Kruger Effect Chart. And now I'm in a kind of sticky sitation where I'm not really sure where to go from here.
This mentor I talked to suggested getting into the nitty gritty of some specialized field, like startups and identifying their main problems and then designing my whole solution and my whole persona around it. With that, I should then reach out only to prospects with the same problems and pitch them my solution. This seems to be the most viable option and in the future I can probably scale from doing only web design to solve startup solutions to maybe advising them also on marketing etc., but still being a master of that niche.
I played with some thoughts before about putting an end to my just-another-wordpress-website-guy type of work and getting into UX design, but to be honest seeing that I would have to say goodbye to a big chunk of my earnings if I stop being 100% in the current business kind of

Do you guys also consider yourself to be wise and knowledgeable beyond your skill level?
It is becoming more obvious to me daily that this is how I operate. My mind ramps me ul to be this superhero that is changimg the world yet I am more like the villain that uses other capable people to my advantage. And it is not even a real advantage, itβs more like I amintellectually challenged compared to those around me and with the amount of dissociation that goes on on my brain by the hour most of what I hear about and could actually use as good info is not put down to long term memory.
I feel like a person with a severe disability due to my ignorance.
His ego is so big he doesn't seem to understand he's only popular because he makes OK beats. He thinks he's the second Jesus and rides into churches on a horse. He truly believes people worship him and are inspired by his godlike wit and intelligence, and is the gift to mankind.
He sounds like he has the IQ of a banana when he blesses his "genius thoughts" upon the earth. The more attention he gets the more he believes it's attributed to his influencial ideas, but he doesn't seem to realize he married a person who only became famous because people fall for drama and mindless tv when they're off work and feel like unplugging thier brain for an hour.
His cognitive function is more comparable to someone with alziemers. He has rambling thoughts spewing from a seemingly delusional state and he's getting worse over time. His ego and complete unawareness to his mental state are baffling. He is nowhere close to being the unique, one of a kind, mesmerising influence that he seems to believe he is.
