Something that stunned me the first time I travelled to the United States was how incredibly ignorant many people were. Even those who had university degrees, although they were very competent in their narrow field of study, were ignorant of everything else. Worse was the total lack of curiosity behind that ignorance. It seemed that the only incentive to acquire knowledge was only to improve one's employability and professional skill to generate more revenue. The pursuit of knowledge out of pure curiosity and desire to improve oneself seemed to be frowned upon as frivolous and a waste of time.
I have long assumed that the US equivlent of the "little Englander" approach to the rest of the world was the result of the considerable distances between quite small towns that, apart from the great metropolitan cities, make up a considerable proportion of the US population. It was an assumption that arose, not from travel, because I've never been to the USA, but from the conversations undertaken over the past 40 years with people from the US, which included a number of years working as a travel guide in a resort town in the UK.

The course I undertook no longer exists, even though the department at my university was the accrediting authority for a number of other educational establishments.

What he lacks is a set of convictions and ideology apart from "I wanna have power". He is quite smart in depicting himself as an almost lovable idiot which gives him the big advantage that his opponents massively undererstimate him.

He pretended (or not) to be against the people ignorant people were against so they flocked to him. I think Lyndon Johnson summed it up: "If you can make the worst white person think he is better than the best coloured person, he won't notice you picking his pocket. Heck, give him ANYONE to look down and he'll empty his pockets for you." That's what Trump did and those inclined fell right for it. And tat need to feel better than the best of "the other" is why they can't let him go. If they admit the Emperor has no clothes, what does that say about them?

The problem is that this has had such a lasting effect. These people who voted for Trump now dont believe anything the opposing political side says and will go out of their way to find the most nonsensical explanation for something. Everything is anything but what it actually is for them.
Never understood what the appeal of trump was. The first time I saw on the prentice I thought he was disgusting, he made me feel sick. With Boris Johnson I understand it, he is a kind of funny, for parties for instance. But Trump, I really don’t.
I couldn’t believe that the Mcarthur Wheeler story was true. I also read that he tested the lemon juice effect with a Polaroid camera and, since the picture came out blank, he concluded that it worked.
Biden's flaws are very different from Trump's. It also doesn't help when you have a system where those in your party (Joe Manchin) keep voting against your agenda. The ability to get things done is very restricted. For all Biden's flaws, he isn't a threat to the very way of life in the US. If he loses an election, he will concede. Trump's sense of entitlement which derives from the very flaws this video points out means he would rather people died and laws are broken before he acknowledges an election defeat. An incumbent that refuses to acknowledge the results of an election if it goes against them, you know what they're called, right? The very dunning -kruger tendencies of Trump badly hampered the US COVID response and 100s of thousands more people died than should have because of it.
I am from the UK and I thought Trump achieved some considerable success in his 4 year. The normalization of relations between Israel and the Saudi's, making NATO countries live up to there expectations with regards to millitary spending. Although it failed meeting the North Korean leader in a attempt to normalize a stabilized relationship the first American president to do so was a step in the right direction.
@@timcastle1844 I wouldn't bother waiting. He's gone off to check out the new Border Wall. Barack Obama built some of it, most presidents do. They build or renew a part of the wall during their time in the W. House.

There is truth here. I know very intelligent, rational and logically thinking people who absolutely love Trump and believe everything he says.... this truly boggles the mind.
what I dont understand is that I know extremely intelligent people, bordering on genius, who think Trump was excellent and had a great plan. how do you explain that?
I know smart people who fall for the likes of Ben Shapirio. A lot of people can so easily be fooled cause they fail to be able to think for themselves and just follow the crowd. They eat up everything they hear as if it's the truth. Many people are also blinded by patriotism and the american identity.
You know what's a pity, you are doing here exactly that what you blame these guys of what you describe. It is all very one sided. Why not take a right wing politician one time and a left wing the next. Try to make it less full of your own view who this person is or how bad they are. Try to just approach it objective. This is just one big bash show. Personally I am not so Fond of trump but who cares, just make it objective. Now you have all these readers totally agreeing with you because your just answered what they already thought.
I think the decline of the united states began when Nixon announced in August 1971 to sospend temporarily the convertability of the dollar into gold or other reserve assets, which meant the US defaulted
Sadly, there are enough rich toffs, and people who have become artificially rich by the London/South East housing market, that the Tories will always have a safe base of power (although the recent Chesham and Amersham by-election might throw some doubt on that). Add to that the other folks that will vote Tory (disenfranchised ex-labour supporters who voted for Brexit, the "upwardly mobile" uber capitalists that the '80s spawned and their progeny, Farmers, fishermen and others who thought the EU was giving them a bad deal etc.), and you have the current shit-show we have, with Labour and LibDem parties being entirely ineffectual in parliament, and unable to mount a serious threat to the Tories. In addition, with the likely Independence referendum in Scotland, and assuming a Yes vote for Scottish independence, you would then lose an extra 50 something non-Tory voting seats at Westminster, making the Tory stranglehold even greater in the remaining parts of the "United" Kingdom (bear in mind that, by some considerable margin, the SNP is the third largest Westminster party as of now, with 48 seats to the LibDem 11 or 12).

Very watchable digests of current affairs, thank you. I find the ‘looking past the camera’ shots rather strange in the same way it’d be a strange to be addressed that way in real life. For anyone else likewise bemused, try walking around the screen and periodically glancing at the video; it’s eerily lifelike. 🙂
I agree. As long as he’s looking to camera it feels as though he’s talking to me personally and I feel engaged. Then someone comes along and shoves me out of the way and he talks to them instead. Makes me disengage a bit. Its a trendy thing to do. Along with unnecessary close ups of hands eyes ears and the like. Camera operators have a hard time keeping still these days.
i find it hard to trust people who present the negative without showing the positive, no matter what side of the spectrum you find yourself on. this video is well-produced and edited a but I didn't hear a possible solution to all this anywhere in the video.
Wish that was going to be so that Biden bloke the sandwich short of a picnic I hope it works out for USA it's very easy to criticise are you BBC Guardian independent which is not very independent one of those other shirt newspaper journals types who are you
The same thing that happened to the UK. Inflation brought about by the after effects of a pandemic and energy companies in particular, price gouging to recoup lost profits of 2020. That affects everything because energy is used to make things, grow things and transport things. Trump tanked unemployment by making bad pandemic decisions and unemployment went from 3.67% (a less than 1% improvement from the Obama administration) to 8.05%. Now, it's back down to just over 5% and steadily going down. Their gas prices are also falling, which right-wing media other there is actually complaining about, if you can believe that????
I agree, we need to bring an end to this kind of thing. But you fail to mention how. How is this supposed to be limited? How do we end salience bias? A goal is pointless if you have no way of reaching it.
Couldn’t agree more, but certainly in the U.K. the politicians are heavily influenced by the media owners, I would suggest this link needs to be broken.
And big money donors. CEOs get regular meetings with the UK Cabinet. The ordinary person has to gets, what? 100,000 signatures to even get a question asked in Parliament. It's almost an oligarchy system.
Stupid is as stupid does, and unfortunately, stupid will always be around...so we must all stand diligent against the stupids....it is the new war we must stand against in this near future.
I think this was released in election day , very interesting choice of words at the end 7:31 , where instead of saying ''Vote Biden'' they choose ''a bit of boring old......'' clever :))))))
Trouble with a theory, is that it can be used for both side of the argument. You could also say Biden suffers from it as well. Biden convinced millions of students he would get rid of student debts, but he hasn't. So you can't just blame Trump, blame anyone who opens their mouths, including me.
That's completely different. Making a manifesto pledge that is stalled because you have political systems like a filibuster (where you have to have at 60 senate votes to pass a policy, meaning you need at least 10 votes from opposition) makes it impossible to pass anything. In a climate where the opposition opposes, not necessarily because the policy is bad for American people, but because they what to sabotage the governing party then turn to voters and say: "See? They aren't doing anything", it is nearly impossible to complete a manifesto. THIS issue is one of personality, not policy. You have a bombastic personality claiming to be a genius but shows no such traits. The man has claimed to know more than the Generals that serve under him, but had to be constantly told that he couldn't do things like "buy Greenland". He has mused why nuclear missiles can't be fired into a hurricane to stop it, or if UV light could be infused into the human body- during a PUBLIC HEALTH BRIEFING. He will NEVER admit to making a mistake, big or small and lied constantly. Not just ambiguous things, but demonstrable lies that could be easily fact checked. Then he would insist he was right or just deny he said anything, when there are video receipts. The man said constantly that COVID would go away all by itself, as if he knew that. Do you not understand how dangerous that kind of lie, based on an inflated sense of knowledge, is? I hope this has explained why Joe Biden's flaws are completely different to that of Donald Trump's.
He built a small amount of new wall, and patched up some existing barriers, if you call that building a wall. Funny we haven't seen any pictures of a brand new wall spanning the whole southern border. Funny how some folk believe anything, just because Trump** said it.
Also 'cognitive ease', 'what you see is all there is' and therefore a reaction of primitive 'fight or flight thinking ( fast thinking) , rather than dull slow thinking that is often 'rational humility' ie I don't know, but I will make an effort to find out by research etc ( ref ; Daniel Kahneman’s, “Thinking, Fast and Slow”, nobel prize winner)
Im not sayin this guys right... but.. hes very negative about people... never talks anything postive about them.. it makes me feel hes a bitter person...
Nothing is really said. It's a shallow, silly dialogue empty of any real analysis. 🤔 Fact is, Trump is a winner and like him or not (snobs don't, that's clear, the big question to explore is why) he is a real person and that puts him 5 ♠️♥️♦️♣️ streets ahead of any of the strange creepy characters he might be compared with. As for criticising him for the mess he found himself presiding over, that's same old predictable shallow and sensational reportage that facilitated the nonsense, which goes back a very long time indeed...
When Trump took over as president, he had an economy that 53 months of steady, consistent growth. An American record. Unemployment was at just over 4%. There was a Pandemic Response team in place, after the Ebola alarm and Wall Street was pretty comfortable. The mess is what Bush Jr left Obama after the 2008 crash. The mess Trump later made, was of the Pandemic response. That was his chance to show what kind of leader he could be...... and he messed it up bigly.

Makes me disengage a bit. Its a trendy thing to do. Along with unnecessary close ups of hands eyes ears and the like. Camera operators have a hard time keeping still these days.
This video is a load of nonsense
And you know nothing and can learn even less.
Thank you for the info
i find it hard to trust people who present the negative without showing the positive, no matter what side of the spectrum you find yourself on. this video is well-produced and edited a but I didn't hear a possible solution to all this anywhere in the video.
Thanks
Just bitter
You can't say trump isn't a capable guy. Not saying he's smartest guy ever but he isnt stupid.
Cunning does not equal smart.
Brilliant explanation!
Brilliant !
Cool... good job they've got sleepy old Joe to lead the way in boring old fashioned sanity
Wish that was going to be so that Biden bloke the sandwich short of a picnic I hope it works out for USA it's very easy to criticise are you BBC Guardian independent which is not very independent one of those other shirt newspaper journals types who are you
I love these 'The Truth About...' videos! 👍
We should have an annual award.
I have to say it,
AMAZING OPENING😍😍😍😍😍😍
and you thought it would get better after Trump *enter* sleepy Joe Biden. Haha what has happened to that country.
The same thing that happened to the UK. Inflation brought about by the after effects of a pandemic and energy companies in particular, price gouging to recoup lost profits of 2020. That affects everything because energy is used to make things, grow things and transport things. Trump tanked unemployment by making bad pandemic decisions and unemployment went from 3.67% (a less than 1% improvement from the Obama administration) to 8.05%. Now, it's back down to just over 5% and steadily going down. Their gas prices are also falling, which right-wing media other there is actually complaining about, if you can believe that????
Moral: people can be made to look very foolish if they act on faulty information.
So in the case of Donald Trump the dk-effect is not just limited to Donald Trump himself.
It's also in the people that worship him.
I agree, we need to bring an end to this kind of thing. But you fail to mention how. How is this supposed to be limited? How do we end salience bias? A goal is pointless if you have no way of reaching it.
Same as this country.
I call it the Hollywood effect, with added bullshit.
I agree wel said 👍
BYE BYE BIDEN. DONALD TRUMP 2024 let’s do it! F*CK YEAH!
You poor, deluded fool!
Couldn’t agree more, but certainly in the U.K. the politicians are heavily influenced by the media owners, I would suggest this link needs to be broken.
And big money donors. CEOs get regular meetings with the UK Cabinet. The ordinary person has to gets, what? 100,000 signatures to even get a question asked in Parliament. It's almost an oligarchy system.
Stupid is as stupid does, and unfortunately, stupid will always be around...so we must all stand diligent against the stupids....it is the new war we must stand against in this near future.
Please make one on Justin Trudeau :)
The first person to accuse someone of the Dunning-Kruger effect is usually the one demonstrating it.
But he has a long history going back to his dad.
Wow, you've got "squared balls" man, as we say in Italian! Thank you for this video.
Ha!! What does that mean? Squared balls. That's great.
Balls²?
What about Balls³?
@@SebAnders Even better!
I think this was released in election day , very interesting choice of words at the end 7:31 , where instead of saying ''Vote Biden'' they choose ''a bit of boring old......'' clever :))))))
Great, Thank you.
He is so smart you can’t even see at front of you but wait. Biden is smart man probably for you.
Okay. What about Biden??!
Trouble with a theory, is that it can be used for both side of the argument. You could also say Biden suffers from it as well. Biden convinced millions of students he would get rid of student debts, but he hasn't. So you can't just blame Trump, blame anyone who opens their mouths, including me.
That's completely different. Making a manifesto pledge that is stalled because you have political systems like a filibuster (where you have to have at 60 senate votes to pass a policy, meaning you need at least 10 votes from opposition) makes it impossible to pass anything. In a climate where the opposition opposes, not necessarily because the policy is bad for American people, but because they what to sabotage the governing party then turn to voters and say: "See? They aren't doing anything", it is nearly impossible to complete a manifesto.
THIS issue is one of personality, not policy. You have a bombastic personality claiming to be a genius but shows no such traits. The man has claimed to know more than the Generals that serve under him, but had to be constantly told that he couldn't do things like "buy Greenland". He has mused why nuclear missiles can't be fired into a hurricane to stop it, or if UV light could be infused into the human body- during a PUBLIC HEALTH BRIEFING. He will NEVER admit to making a mistake, big or small and lied constantly. Not just ambiguous things, but demonstrable lies that could be easily fact checked. Then he would insist he was right or just deny he said anything, when there are video receipts. The man said constantly that COVID would go away all by itself, as if he knew that. Do you not understand how dangerous that kind of lie, based on an inflated sense of knowledge, is? I hope this has explained why Joe Biden's flaws are completely different to that of Donald Trump's.
Trump and Johnston were made from the same mould.
He DID build the wall and it DID help to keep people from streaming in!👊🗽🇺🇸💪
Yeah but... he didn’t though, did he?
He built a small amount of new wall, and patched up some existing barriers, if you call that building a wall. Funny we haven't seen any pictures of a brand new wall spanning the whole southern border. Funny how some folk believe anything, just because Trump** said it.
The Brexit shining red bus effect. See it and believe.
Also 'cognitive ease', 'what you see is all there is' and therefore a reaction of primitive 'fight or flight thinking ( fast thinking) , rather than dull slow thinking that is often 'rational humility' ie I don't know, but I will make an effort to find out by research etc ( ref ; Daniel Kahneman’s, “Thinking, Fast and Slow”, nobel prize winner)
Fan of Pindex then? 😂
this article is total rubbish
People also believe you tube videos. I'm not saying you're wrong.
Im not sayin this guys right... but.. hes very negative about people... never talks anything postive about them.. it makes me feel hes a bitter person...
Can we have some truth on Joe biden??
“Donny”
This doesn't explain anything, just another hit piece
Really!! You must the stupid he is talking about if you can't understand what he is saying.
Trump is actually pretty smart, lmao. His IQ is above average.
Half of America were conned by that oaf!
Nothing is really said.
It's a shallow, silly dialogue empty of any real analysis. 🤔
Fact is, Trump is a winner and like him or not (snobs don't, that's clear, the big question to explore is why) he is a real person and that puts him 5 ♠️♥️♦️♣️ streets ahead of any of the strange creepy characters he might be compared with.
As for criticising him for the mess he found himself presiding over, that's same old predictable shallow and sensational reportage that facilitated the nonsense, which goes back a very long time indeed...
Oh dear!
@@timcastle1844 ♥️
When Trump took over as president, he had an economy that 53 months of steady, consistent growth. An American record. Unemployment was at just over 4%. There was a Pandemic Response team in place, after the Ebola alarm and Wall Street was pretty comfortable. The mess is what Bush Jr left Obama after the 2008 crash. The mess Trump later made, was of the Pandemic response. That was his chance to show what kind of leader he could be...... and he messed it up bigly.
