As with most of my interactions with reality, as we know it (?), there is the Dunning–Kruger effect.

This seems to follow me everywhere I go and it annoys the fucking shit out of me.

I’m going to throw this article into this pile of shit along with so much other things right now.

it is insane to me that someone could write paragraphs like this or this and not realize they’re falling for Holmes’s shtick that allowed her to con billions of out people; but i’m also astonished every editor on this story signed off on it and didn’t step in to say, “hey, maybe the serial liar is lying and you need to rework this story?”
