On average we do not have qualities or abilities that are superior to other people. Illusory superiority is a condition of cognitive bias whereby a person overestimates their own qualities and abilities, in relation to the same qualities and abilities of other persons; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases

That's known as the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Stop mentioning this effect. Every time I see it I get a big headache. Maybe I'll write a userscript (some kind of monkey whatever lol) one of these days to regex replace lol.
