Dunning-kruger Memes

The statistical distribution of water knowledge is truly magnificent! This bell curve masterpiece shows the intellectual journey of water comprehension. At the far left (IQ 55), we have the confused souls crying "nooo! Where water go!!" when it evaporates. The vast majority in the middle (IQ 85-115) simply accept that "water go right" without questioning the hydrologic cycle. Meanwhile, the rare intellectual titans on the far right (IQ 145) have transcended to the same primitive conclusion but somehow with cosmic understanding. The velocity equation V(t)=1120mm/s is just chef's kiss—implying water moves at a precise rate that only the 34% can appreciate. It's basically fluid dynamics meets Dunning-Kruger effect, and I'm dying at how the distribution perfectly captures humanity's relationship with H₂O.

The perfect illustration of the Dunning-Kruger effect in quantum physics! On the left, we have the self-proclaimed expert from "r/iamverysmart" having an absolute meltdown over someone questioning their expertise. They've "intimately studied" quantum mechanics and developed theories on "quantum immortality" (which, spoiler alert, isn't exactly mainstream physics). Meanwhile, the actual physics student on the right has achieved true enlightenment through suffering. After being broken by quantum mathematics and the sheer weirdness of wave-particle duality, they've reached the zen-like state of "I don't know a thing about anything." This is the scientific equivalent of climbing the mountain only to realize how small you are! The irony? Real quantum physicists would be the first to admit how bizarre and counterintuitive their field is. As Richard Feynman famously said, "If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics."

The Feynman quote about preferring unanswerable questions to unquestionable answers was meant to encourage scientific curiosity and skepticism. Then the internet happened. Now we've got armchair physicists who watched two pop-science YouTube videos declaring themselves the next Nobel laureate while completely missing the point. Nothing says "I understand quantum mechanics" like aggressively misinterpreting one of its greatest teachers and then refusing to study the actual math. The superiority complex is just *chef's kiss* perfect. I've seen undergrads with the same energy try to correct tenured professors. It never ends well.
