[...] these conditions are natural to the psychology of the resentful or the dumb; do we need to mention the Dunning-Kruger effect? I’m not trying to defend Judeo-Christianity per se, except that as Schopenhauer argued, it [...]

[...] This is why politicians ignore and manipulate you, average citizen: you don’t understand how government works, like you don’t understand even the basics of how your car or computer work, like how you couldn’t successfully run a farm, or even excise an infected appendix. So you get the Saturday morning cartoon version because if they told you the truth, you’d be sure they were wrong. [...]

[...] Here we see the correlation between abilities and personality traits. These people aren’t bad at economics because they are liberals; they became liberals because they’re bad at economics, and have related personality traits. If you’re not good at orderliness, you’d better not have a personality geared toward it — in addition, you’re unlikely to have that personality, since appreciation for orderliness only comes with an ability to do it well (this is a restatement of the Dunning-Kruger effect).

This makes perfect sense and I am very glad you posted it. I have felt for quite some time that the incompetent love to pat each other on the back and convince each other how great they are. Somehow this all seems relevant and fitting for the “Reality TV Nation” we have become and our narcissistic tendencies that are becoming more played out and prevalent. I could have never imagined a reality where so many people who really have little to no talent in things that matter have elevated themselves up to such a level of self-importance. And yet, this seems to be the way so many things have become. Strange indeed, but given this research you have posted about it seems to make perfect sense then why we have become what we have become.
