It's an expanded subset of the behaviours known as the Dunning Kruger effect.

Interestingly, it's somewhat more pronounced in western societies.

But then, so is democracy.

He's a nice guy, has passed exams, knows the buzzwords and his dad is a very smart guy therefore his credentials cannot be denied and he is eminently qualified for the job? Sounds like the house of lords.

What? Who are you on about?

[James Deuce]

What? Who are you on about?

Kirsten Dunst and Freddy Kruger, that's who you were talking about? Isn't it?

Sorry... was trying to throw out a potential real world example of the Dunning Kruger effect hence the ? at the end of the sentence... where those doing the hiring are confident in their ability to pick candidates based on the supposed credentials of the candidate. Marks out of 10

Aye. Both confidence inspiring individuals no doubt. Do I need my crucifix or my chainsaw?

Ah, OK.

And yes I believe there’s likely some D/K effect in most such interviews.


There is, however a corollary. While a person’s competence is often mistakenly rated highly based on his apparent confidence it’s also true that highly experienced and skilful individuals also come across as highly competent. Because they are.

So ask yourself this: are you qualified to judge?

I guess that last question is the crux eh. We never know until we find out... shame there's no gauge for measuring leadership ability. Money doesn't seem to work .

But there is: The results of a second election to the same job.

If the Maoris get to claim the wind in NZ, are we able to choose their wind, or the stuff that blows across the country, from around the planet?

Quite true. Aren't monopoly suppliers (antitrust) illegal?

I'm glad Hone Harawera's name has entered this discussion. He is a loud mouthed, disagreeable part maori. His mother has purple hair.

You do realise her history, don't you? Search for "maori support unit" and "abuses"...
She is scum of the highest order and it has remained in her family.

Hone is great. My number one pollie - and I'm a Greens voter.

That figures.

He's the sonny bill williams of politics: The fuckin man!

At least he stays on the same (retarded) pathway, unlike sonny-switch-codes-at-the-drop-of-a-hat-williams.
Or are you meaning "he goes where the money is"?

Nah just that they're both the best at what they do.

And if they're getting under the skin of the "average" kiwi (and I mean that in both senses of the word), then that just confirms it for me

An interesting take on things there JD, quite possibly true! I'm all for making good on things we did not do properly the first time.
I've about had enough of this govt's total denial of NZ'ers voices being heard when it comes to what we want as a country, (smacking bill, for instance) a referendum and like their red brothers before them, they ignored it!) But the thought that our brown brothers are in fact fighting for us all when it comes to asset sales is one that I'd never have considered until you pointed it out.
I have one problem with this though.
If we assumed that this is in fact their objective and if they succeed, how much is it going to cost every OTHER ( you know,non brown invader) NZ'er to live here, what with having to support all of them in they way to which they are quickly becoming used to.

Something I have always asked and never had a logical answer to ...... is ..... if the Maori sailed into NZ and TOOK the land by domination (force) and then sold it to the whiteys ...... is it true that the land was stolen by the Maori and then the whiteys received stolen goods??????

The more I look at things the less im convinced the Maori have any rights to any claims and compensations but in fact ..... wouldnt it be more true that the former peoples of this nation have the rights to claim compensation for the injustices the 'invading' peoples imposed??

waits for the backlash on that opinion...... in commenting ... appreciate I was raised in a Pah and am married (37 years) to a Maori lass. I am NOT anto Maori .. I am anti racism and division in this country.

Who are these people you speak of?

And their 'best', what is that?
