This in essence leads to the weird universal: the people that whines about their suffering the most should be ignored, but the people who suffers the most are the ones who are proud of themselves in a masochistic fashion. This applies to status-seeking behaviors from "transtrending"/"transbian", to self-diagnosed neurodivergence (e.g. autism), to the "silenced alpha male" meme. https://archive.ph/lf6pE

In a more general sense, aren't the Dunning-Kruger effect (Better Than Average Effect) partly caused by the need for tribalism and prestige? If so then is it possible to tease out these people and face the real problem of society? https://theredqueen.substack.com/p/dunning-kruger-power-effect https://archive.fo/ZMSUI https://archive.fo/Sg3x0
