It can be quite embarrassing when someone speaks with confidence and turns out to be completely mistaken. While everyone can make mistakes, there are some individuals who express their incorrect beliefs with unwavering certainty. This trend may be increasing, as studies indicate a decline in IQ scores among Americans from 2006 to 2018. For those who are curious, there’s a Facebook group called “Well, That’s Just Incorrect,” where users highlight amusing instances of people confidently sharing wrong information. If only we had the same level of confidence as these individuals, it might make a difference in how we approach discussions.
What do you think about the confidence some people have in their incorrect views?
