your overly positive outlook means you are either deliberately ignoring or unable to see the other side of it, and so there's no point in our continuing this conversation.

you've stated your position over and over, i've reworded mine, no progress will be made.

> Exactly. Therefore, I should not be discouraged, but instead focus on upping my game to the level of my taste.

it doesn't mean you should do anything. there's no need for this self improvement. the self improvement tactics are not informed by dunning kruger. they are not an application of dunning kruger.

in the absence of dunning kruger if you run with a self improvement mentality the input, action and outcome are the exact same. your behaviour is not informed by it. if you weren't self improving before dunning kruger, then you might be on to something - but i'm certain that wasn't the case.

in fact you are in danger of spending too much time on the improvement, whereas dunning kruger could be telling you, as you are competent "it's good enough".



I suggest going with either "there is no point in continuing" or "I will repeat again my possibly mistaken notion about why I think you're wrong." Because doing both makes you look like somebody who cares more about "winning" than having an actual discussion where people learn things. That's certainly the feeling I'm leaving with.
