    @aRandomCat

    Thank you for the word narcissistic though. It does fit in a lot of ways, and it's one I hadn't thought of.

    @strangeattractor I wrote but didn’t publish a think about it. It’s basically culture shock but down a power gradient, like a white tourist in Asia. Something like an illegibility effect kicks in. You don’t understand what you see (the culture shock part) but because you assume superiority, you have high-modernist contempt for it/false confidence in your judgments rooted in ignorance.

    @aRandomCat

    Hmm, do you think that would fit for situational use? I notice people doing this some of the time, only toward some topics, not necessarily all of the time indiscriminately like a narcissist would.

    @strangeattractor narcissistic? The belief that everything in the world can be categorized within the narcissists model (which is deemed to be perfect and whole). Dunning kruger would be the specific narcissism towards a domain, say “intellect” or “ping pong”

    Is there a word for something similar to the Dunning-Kruger effect, but for context?

    Arguably, a person having a Dunning-Kruger moment is lacking the context of an expert, so Dunning-Kruger could be a special case of a more general concept.

    Is there a special word for it? Something that implies no-self-awareness-of-need-to-code-switch and clueless-about-contexts-beyond-their-personal-experience?

    I loved this on Linux from Greg Kroah-Hartman:

    "There is no other operating system out there that competes against us at this time. It would be nice to have something to compete against, as competition is good, and that drives us to do better, but we can live with this situation for the moment :)"

    Growing tissue and cancer cells in a lots-of-hidden-variables medium might explain why lab results from vitro haven't translated to breakthroughs in vivo. https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2019/01/cancer-culture-media-plasmax/579283/

    I wanted to look up the amount of carbon in ppm in our atmosphere, and found out we had passed 400ppm 5 years ago. When I was growing up, the church building that my church rented had posters warning of passing 350 ppm already.

    @riga Well you've also got Jeffries tubes. Jeffries must have had a good patent on it.

    Also shields, deflector array, warp core, dilithium matrix, holomatrix, transporter, replicator. And everything has a "frequency" that can be used to hack it.

    I love how generic the generic technical component names on Star Trek are. "Intensity Grid" "Phase Modulator" "EPS Converter" XD

    @vgr

    I think it helps to have time to follow curiosity. If there are questions that I want to know the answers to, and I have time and energy to pursue them, that can take up a lot of my attention. Sometimes that eventually leads to conflicts, if there are obstacles or societal incentives to dissuade people from finding the info.

    It's hard to follow curiosity in a context where time and attention are claimed and commanded - like most elementary and high schools in North America.

    Merry Christmas! Last night I watched It's a Wonderful Life, described for the blind by George H.W. Bush! Of course I went into full #MST3K mode immediately. "Not gonna do it. Wouldn't be prudent."

    I think that yes, there is some of that, but also there is a thriving culture of people who love, for example, smaller indie games, and are more-or-less kind about it.

    @BruceJia

    Yes, for me it was better. I think it depends on the person though. There were some courses about how to model electrical systems, fluids, etc. with the same mathematical framework, but for the most part each person had to decide what to do with the information, and what direction to choose. The Co-op system helped with that, my classmates got many different types of work experience, and we could compare and talk to each other about it.

    Ah, well I chose systems design, an interdisciplinary program, and learned a bit of everything, so I can relate to not wanting to decide right away.
