"Incompetence is bliss, say researchers"
BY ERICA GOODE New York Times
There are many incompetent people in the world. But a Cornell University study has shown that most incompetent people do not know that they are incompetent.
People who do things badly, according to David A. Dunning, a professor of psychology at Cornell, are usually supremely confident of their abilities -- more confident, in fact, than people who do things well.
Noooo, you don't say. Thought that I'd revisit my lame attempt at keeping some form of virtual diary going. It started off with a bang (i.e. one post) but yeah due to my own incompetence it never seems to go too far past the "maybe I should write in my blog" thought. But here you go.
Admitting previous defeat well I'll give it another go.
So following on from the procrastination months ago I'm at it again, doing yet another essay at the last minute. I always wonder if there are some people that just live on the thrill of writing pages and pages of "crap" that only one other person is ever going to read?
Hmmm, definatley not the way I prefer to spend my precious hours but what can you do? I think I'll just sit here listening to incomprehensible Punjabi rock, contemplating my absolute incompetency to string together a single scentence for the essay from hell :)
