Joe Rogan - DeEvolution of Man

Unskilled and unaware of it: How difficulties in recognizing one's own incompetence lead to inflated self-assessments.
Kruger, Justin; Dunning, David
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. Vol 77(6), Dec 1999, 1121-1134.

People tend to hold overly favorable views of their abilities in many social and intellectual domains. The authors suggest that this overestimation occurs, in part, because people who are unskilled in these domains suffer a dual burden: Not only do these people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it. Across 4 studies, the authors found that participants scoring in the bottom quartile on tests of humor, grammar, and logic grossly overestimated their test performance and ability. Although their test scores put them in the 12th percentile, they estimated themselves to be in the 62nd. Several analyses linked this miscalibration to deficits in metacognitive skill, or the capacity to distinguish accuracy from error. Paradoxically, improving the skills of the participants, and thus increasing their metacognitive competence, helped them recognize the limitations of their abilities.

Over Weight Woman Almost Collapses Trying to Climb Hill
pretty sad...she looks in her early 20s maybe? Hardly fat by American standards.

The book Spark talks about people with agoraphibia running toward a mall (which they fear), and learning to associate the increased heartrate with something challenging/succesful... growing new brain cells.

Maddow & Olbermann Discuss McCain/Palin Spindoctoring
Proof that they just want to distract. Country First?!
“[A Palin daughter wedding] would be fantastic,” a McCain insider told the British paper. “You would have every TV camera there. The entire country would be watching. It would shut down the race for a week.”
