The web2 is full of "experts" [PT/EN]

Navegando por alguns fóruns e redes sociais da web2, eu me deparo com muitos especialistas de "porra nenhuma". Cara, como podem pessoas que sabem tão pouco sobre um assunto ter tanta convicção do que estão falando?

Eu posso ter algum conhecimento sobre algo, posso dar minha opinião sobre o assunto que estão discutindo, mas sempre me sinto inseguro sobre o que falo, mesmo sabendo que muitas vezes tenho o melhor domínio sobre o "tal tema" do que vejo em alguns bate-papos. Então, por esses motivos e também por ser um pouco introvertido, acabo apenas lendo e observando, sem me manifestar na maioria das vezes.

Mas hoje eu acabei entendendo um pouco desse fenômeno, onde especialistas de pouco conhecimento têm a grande necessidade de expressar seu "enorme conhecimento". Navegando em alguma rede social no meu tempo de ócio, acabei vendo uma publicação sobre o Efeito Dunning-Kruger. Não tenho certeza se isso tem algo relacionado com o que acho (lá vou eu novamente com minha incerteza), mas depois de ver como é o gráfico e como funciona esse fenômeno nas pessoas, acredito que essa seja a explicação.

Bem, o efeito Dunning-Kruger é um fenômeno psicológico no qual pessoas com habilidades limitadas em determinado assunto tendem a superestimar suas competências, enquanto outras que possuem maior conhecimento sobre o assunto se sentem ignorantes diante da complexidade que existe sobre aquilo. São lados opostos da mesma moeda.

Existe também um gráfico que demonstra o efeito de maneira mais didática:

Talvez esse seja um gráfico em que muitas pessoas se identifiquem, é um processo normal quando nos deparamos com algum assunto. O problema é que muitas pessoas preferem estacionar no primeiro pico, não dão continuidade no conhecimento sobre aquele assunto e preferem ser os donos da razão, de todo o conhecimento e serem absolutos.

E é dessas pessoas que param no primeiro que vemos aos montes em redes sociais, pessoas que ficam imersas em seu mundo de "grande conhecimento" e que, muitas vezes, passam desinformação e acabam atrapalhando aqueles que estão em outra parte do gráfico buscando a evolução.

Browsing through some web2 forums and social media, I come across a lot of "experts of f*cking nothing". Dude, how can people who know so little about a subject be so convinced of what they are saying?

I may have some knowledge about something and can give my opinion on the topic being discussed, but I always feel insecure about what I say, even knowing that I often have a better understanding of the "said topic" than what I see in some conversations. So, for these reasons, and also because I am a bit introverted, I end up just reading and observing, without speaking up most of the time.

But today, I finally understood a bit about this phenomenon, where people with limited knowledge have a great need to express their "vast knowledge." While leisurely browsing a social network, I came across a post about the Dunning-Kruger Effect. I'm not sure if it relates to what I think (here I go again with my uncertainty), but after seeing how the graph works and how this phenomenon affects people, I believe this might be the explanation.

Well, the Dunning-Kruger effect is a psychological phenomenon in which people with limited abilities in a particular subject tend to overestimate their competence, while others who have more knowledge about the subject feel ignorant in the face of its complexity. It's like opposite sides of the same coin.

There is also a graph that illustrates the effect in a more didactic way:

Perhaps this graph is relatable to many people; it's a normal process when we encounter a subject. The problem is that many individuals prefer to remain at the first peak, not furthering their knowledge on the subject, and instead, they prefer to be the owners of reason, all-encompassing knowledge, and absolutes.

It is these individuals who remain at the first peak that we see in abundance on social media—people who become immersed in their world of "great knowledge" and often spread misinformation, hindering those who are in another part of the graph, seeking growth and progress.

I also saw that you are from Nigeria. Do you participate in any groups on Discord from your country? Usually, such groups provide great support, with many people willing to help us get started. If you spoke Portuguese, you would be very welcome here in our Brazilian community.

As a guest curator for @ecency I decided to accept your boost request as the topic is deep and interesting.
Besides, when I myself say to people that I am a crypto-professional I always say that I am the number 2 or 3 in the market, as there are already too many "number 1"

Thank you for the support! There are indeed many "number ones" out there, people who are constantly trying to promote themselves as the ultimate authorities on "knowledge"!
