Sure - government spending has constantly grown for decades, and in 2020/2021 we just lived through a mass collectivization of society in which private ownership of property was suspended throughout the United States and the government took over payment of salaries. Our society also pays for an ever larger and more bloated academic sector which is overwhelmingly left leaning in orientation, so are tech firms, so are most media companies. That's just a handful of examples.

So to be it's obvious that you're wrong, and the reason we disagree is because none of this is in any way precise or rigorously defined!

Dunning-Kruger is a garbage paper lol. Go read it. It's a good example of non replicable psychology research. People quote it mindlessly having never read it, without realizing they're Dunning-Krugering themselves by doing so.

Even if you believe Dunning-Kruger is fictitious, you can't use it as an appellation on those who don't.

Yes, I was pointing out the irony.

The irony doesn't work if it's based on something that one claims is logically fictitious.
