When you find out about Dunning-Kruger and realise that that's why everyone else in the world is so stupid apart from you.

Unlike most people, I see what you did there.
Real eyes realize real lies
Deep
"You ever notice how stupid the average person is? Now realize that half of them are dumber than that!"
grabs popcorn to watch inevitable argument about mean vs median
Central Limit Theorem 🤝 Me in first year stats
"Mean and Median are the same"
I'll be "IQ is a normalized distribution", someone else take "IQ isn't intelligence"
I'll take "IQ is a flawed measure of intelligence, but intelligence is probably still normally distributed"
I sometimes genuinely expect people to know "basic quantum mechanics" and I'll start ranting about it as if they have some background knowledge and then when I saw the moon might not exist if I don't look at it my roommate looks at me like I'm crazy.
I do the same with psychology. Except it's worse because people think they DO know psychology when they absolutely don't
I'm so glad I don't have to deal with people pretending to know physics that often. Usually I just get "why the fuck did you major in physics" and then I go cry
I'm assuming you wish you'd gone for marine biology instead, sharkfucker420?
You could say that
This is telling a lot about your psyche.
;)
And how does that make you feel?
Makes me smile, but ... Dr. Cog, can you try a bit deeper?
I mean, pulling it back for a second, what the fuck would an "abstract study" even be about? What, would you publish the results of your thought experiment?
An abstract study has yet to be implemented. You cannot run an abstract study on it's own. Otherwise, it can be about anything.
for non programmers
An abstract class is a concept in programming.
Journal of Philosophy would like a word.
Also every scientist who works in theoretical disciplines.
I was actually wondering this the other day. Could I be so abstract that I don't even really say anything useful at all in the paper, but still make it sound like there's something to it? 🤔
So basically anything made by ChatGPT? ;)
AI generated nonsense has been published before. Even got by peer review. That was even before ChatGPT.
Clearly it's a meta analysis of abstracts.
It's just a study done on a higher abstraction level. Like looking at CPU as a collection of logic gates instead of transistors. Or programming in C instead of assembly.
What's the context for this?
A summary of a scientific paper is called an abstract, it’s a stripped down version of what the paper is covering.
The joke is that this person is not scientifically literate enough to understand that “abstract” in this context has a different meaning than in other fields of study like art
It's abstract, you wouldn't get it.
