This thread, and
@InstiGATOR1 in particular, has convinced me Dunning and Kruger only tested their theories in the workforce after spending time on message boards.
Either the phenomenon they made well known, illusory superiority, or the book title they wrote, “Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments”, would apply to Insti’s nonsense. A career in lecturing to children only makes this more obvious.
Yes, Insti, you are the only one to ever notice taxes or that Florida does not have income tax. Please tell me more, like your 25% inflation of the highest federal tax bracket possible during AP’s career. (The top possible rate was 39.6, not 50. the effective rate would have been lower, especially if you all are correct that he has so many child support obligations. The fact that you start at the wrong marginal rate only highlights the D-K effect at play).
BTW, Insti, when calculating his true spending, you also didn’t account for his investment advisor’s fee or the mutual fund expenses. How can we discuss mass wealth loss without diving into those details or the extra pump of vanilla AP likes with his Starbucks? We just are not smart enough. I’m going to search the internet for a cool picture to post.
Edit: cool, I found one and it’s been used before. This dog might be sniffing almost as hard as Insti is trying to seem super smart in this thread:
