art of the solution.

So that's my reframe is you can certainly ask a person their own opinion, but it would be a bad system to start with. What do you think about that stranger's shirt? Bad way to start.

All right. Now, I'm trying desperately, not desperately, but I don't want to get dragged into the actual debate. You know, I think there's plenty of room for people to have different opinions, but different opinions is not what the turd in the punch bowl's about. That's more about the spectacle. So I don't have to be yes or no on the Fuentes question. I simply have to be a good job of being me and maybe that will have some influence on some of the younger.

All right. Next.

I saw on the X account ArcheoHistories. I always wondered about this the origin of the Dunning-Kruger effect. Now, you've heard of Dunning-Kruger, right? That's where people who know the least often have the most confidence about the rightness. So, the less you know, the more confident you can be.

Well, apparently that was based on one or at least it was triggered by one story that back in 1995 there was a bank robber who believed that if he put lemon juice on his face when he robbed the bank, the bank cameras wouldn't be able to see him. And his thinking was that since lemon juice was a component of invisible ink that therefore logically if you put lemon juice on your face it would make you invisible on camera.

Now that is not the case it turns out. And he actually smiled at the camera because he was so sure that he would be invisible. So he easily got caught because his face was quite identifiable on the camera and he was surprised and he exclaimed reportedly quote but I wore the juice.

Now I guess there were some researchers who heard that story and thought we have to look into this. What's up with that? And then through research they discovered that it is common for people who know the least in this case he didn't know much about cameras or invisible ink to be the most confident and indeed he was confident because he actually robbed the bank thinking he was safe.

So I just mentioned that because I think it's fun to know where that came from and it's a slow news day.

I'm looking in the comments to see somebody had a Tony Robbins comment here. Let me see that if I can make that out. Tony Robbins, if you just ignore problems with your thinking blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, then you get in trouble. No, I don't think ignoring problems is always the right way to go. I'm not sure I understand that comment, so I'm going to let that go.

Anyway, according to NewsBusters, Craig Bannister is writing that facts flip voters view of the Trump economy. So the thesis here is basically the fact that Trump did an address to the nation recently and he mentioned all the economic successes and apparently the mainstream networks seemed to have somehow locked out the graphics that would show how right he was about the economy being better in all these different ways. So that would
