Just a branch off thought I had when you said many people with PhDs have had Dunning-Kruger. In general, I think the way the term is used (especially online) is used incorrectly.

Everybody should experience Dunning-Kruger, it’s part of the process of learning something. People who use it as an insult should be calling their accusee arrogant instead.

How does the post have anything to do with what you just quoted from the community rules?

I am trying to say the post has nothing to do with science.

Academia = Science ?

If one hasn’t fallen victim to Dunning-Kruger, then they have not advanced their knowledge in any meaningful capacity.

Is this a science meme? Am I on Reddit?

Research related to National Defense are usually kept confidential, and corporations have an incentive to not share there research to maintain competitive with their competitors. Neither of these seem out of the ordinary regardless of where you are on the globe.

Even still. The US government funds various institutions that share their research publicly, so I am not sure where you are really going with this.

Funny enough, you would probably categorize me as a “STEMlord” if you knew me in person. In general I try to keep these types of communications as straight-forward as possible online. Many non-productive discussions that I have seen online originated from statements meant to impose heavy implication. These kinds of statements are generally taken worse with the lack verbal communication and body language. From what I have seen, it is generally better to give these faceless discussions some effort up front to ensure level footing for both people.

PS: I do believe humanity needs professions outside Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.

Not sure. Didn’t watch the whole show and it was quite awhile ago. He did discuss his research regarding black holes.

That is George Washington’s Wikipedia page. It includes his whole life, there is plenty of information in there that is unrelated to politically charged violence. You can at least do your cohorts the courtesy of having a pointed and deliberate discussion. Put in a little effort, it doesn’t hurt.

I would venture to say that almost every group and/or sovereign nation’s origin involves war/violence.

It is bad practice to post links without also providing quotes from the source to support your claim. You are wasting the other person’s time.

I wasn’t aware that publishing peer-reviewed work for anybody to read was “gatekeeping”.

Yes. People conducting cutting-edge research should receive suitable compensation. Don’t see a problem with that.

The kids who stop at highschool or go into a trade really don’t get that level of problem solving and critical analysis.

I wouldn’t be too hasty with the condescension towards the blue-collar working class. Problem solving and analysis is just a service at the end of the day, just like repairing an air conditioner. The value of both services also fluctuates.

There are reputable scientists that have been guests on Joe Rogan. Brian Cox was just on quite recently.

Only correct response. Good work.

I would say that the Republicans winning the popular vote made it a pretty decisive victory.

It is not secret that the US has attracted talented academics for many years. I am sure that these kinds of advertisements are not new.
