人們做了一些愚蠢的事情，不得不在網(wǎng)上分享

Back in late 1999, two psychologists from Cornell University—Justin Kruger and David Dunning—put it to the test whether people who lack the skills or abilities for something are also more prone to lack awareness of that lacking. They started off their research paper with an example of a Pittsburgh bank robber, McArthur Wheeler. McArthur was arrested in 1995 shortly after robbing two banks in the middle of the day, with no mask on, or any other kind of disguise. When the police caught up to him and showed him the footage from security cameras, the robber was confused. "But I wore the juice," he protested. As it later turned out, the poor man believed that if you rub your face with lemon juice, it will be invisible to security cameras. Yeah, right... The two psychologists did other tests too that proved that their theory stands correct—the less competent you are, the more you think highly of your intelligence.

回到1999年底，康奈爾大學的兩位心理學家賈斯汀·克魯格和大衛(wèi)·鄧寧進行了一項測試，測試缺乏某些技能或能力的人是否也更容易對自己的欠缺缺乏意識。他們的研究論文從一個匹茲堡銀行劫匪麥克阿瑟·惠勒的例子開始。1995年，麥克阿瑟在中午搶劫了兩家銀行后不久就被捕了，當時他沒有戴面具，也沒有任何其他偽裝。當警察追上他并給他看監(jiān)控錄像時，這名搶劫犯被弄糊涂了。“但我是用了果汁的，”他抗議道。事實證明，這個可憐的人認為，如果你用檸檬汁擦臉，安全攝像頭是看不到的。是啊,沒錯……這兩位心理學家還做了其他測試，證明他們的理論是正確的——你的能力越低，你就越看重自己的智力。

What later has become known as the Dunning-Kruger effect could probably explain why some incompetent people are just so damn annoying. Also, it can provide an insight into why we enjoy spending time with those who are able to laugh at themselves and their dumb brain farts. Don't you think it takes a smart person to admit that they can be very, extremely, overwhelmingly dumb? Therefore, all of these 60 people, who were brave (and smart!) enough to publicly admit the dumbest things they did, deserve a medal. While we won't actually send a medal to each one of these people, we suggest you take a scroll through this list where they are sharing instances that made them question their own intelligence. As always, vote for the ones you like the most and don't forget to share dumb moments that made you question your own mind!

后來被稱為“鄧寧-克魯格效應”的現(xiàn)象，或許可以解釋為什么有些無能的人就是那么討厭。同時，這也能讓我們明白為什么我們喜歡和那些能夠自嘲的人待在一起。難道你不認為一個聰明的人必須承認他們可以非常，極端，壓倒性地愚蠢嗎?因此，這些人，他們足夠勇敢(也足夠聰明!)去公開承認他們做過的最愚蠢的事情，都值得一枚獎章。雖然我們不會真的給這些人每人發(fā)一枚獎章，但我們建議你瀏覽一下他們分享的例子，這些例子讓他們質(zhì)疑自己的智力。和往常一樣，給你最喜歡的投票，不要忘記分享那些讓你質(zhì)疑自己想法的愚蠢時刻!

A couple of weeks ago, I heard my neighbors cat meowing, so I responded with a "meow" of my own. This went on for about 3-4 exchanges until I opened the door and found it was not a cat, it was just another dude meowing back at me.

My coworker asked if there is lactose in eggs, I thought to myself "they both come from the same animal, so maybe". For 5 seconds, I thought milk came from chickens.
