THE DUNNING-KRUGER
EFFECT & THE ENDTIMES
Have you ever attempted to explain to someone that a
Khazarian Jew is not related to Shem and is not an actual descendant of
Judah? How about explaining to someone
that dispensational pre-tribulational rapture was designed by Darby/Scofield in
the 1800’s and elevated to the level of widely accepted doctrine by the Dallas
Theological Seminary? If you have, then
you most likely completely wasted your time and effort.
These individuals will never be convinced of anything regardless
of the facts and information that is given to them. It’s an epidemic called the Dunning-Kruger
syndrome. It’s why ignorant people are so certain that they’re right.
The American Dunning-Kruger Epidemic (Or Why Ignorant People Are So
Sure They’re Right)
Daisy Luther - April 10th, 2018 - The Organic Prepper
The Dunning Kruger effect is a cognitive bias (preconception) in which
individuals, who are unskilled at a particular task, believe themselves to
possess above-average ability in performing the task.
Cognitive - involving conscious intellectual activity (as thinking,
reasoning, or remembering)
In many areas of life, incompetent
people do not recognize—scratch that, cannot recognize—just how incompetent
they are.
To know how skilled or unskilled
you are at using the rules of grammar, for instance, you must have a good
working knowledge of those rules, an impossibility among the incompetent. Poor
performers—and we are all poor performers at some things—fail to see the flaws
in their thinking or the answers they lack.
What’s curious is that, in many
cases, incompetence does not leave people disoriented, perplexed, or cautious.
Instead, the incompetent are often blessed with an inappropriate confidence,
buoyed by something that
feels to them like knowledge.
A whole battery of studies
conducted by myself and others have confirmed that people who don’t know much
about a given set of cognitive, technical, or social skills tend to grossly
overestimate their prowess and performance, whether it’s grammar, emotional
intelligence, logical reasoning, firearm care and safety, debating, or
financial knowledge.
Each of us possesses certain
foundational beliefs—narratives about the self, ideas about the social
order—that essentially cannot be violated: To contradict them would call into
question our very self-worth. As such, these views demand fealty from other
opinions. And any information that we glean from the world is amended,
distorted, diminished, or forgotten in order to make sure that these sacrosanct
beliefs remain whole and unharmed…
Sacrosanct ideological commitments
can also drive us to develop quick, intense opinions on topics we know virtually nothing
about.
The good news is that there are
folks in the middle, who may not have a deeply held opinion on hot-button
topics. These are the folks who can be reached by logic and facts. It’s nearly
impossible to battle confident ignorance, but with facts, you can influence
people who are undecided.
Conversely, highly competent
individuals may erroneously assume that tasks easy for them to perform are also
easy for other people to perform, or that other people will have a similar
understanding of subjects that they themselves are well-versed in. This could also be applied to the
understanding of scripture and prophecy, although it is evident that most
groups or individuals rarely agree on any concept.
Competent: having the necessary ability, knowledge, or skill to do
something successfully or to understand a concept.
Of course, some people have applied the Dunning-Kruger
effect onto Donald Trump, which may be true, however it could also apply to the
person(s) leveling the charge. I suspect
everyone experiences some degree of this effect regarding a particular concept,
thought pattern, or physical performance.
Several instances within the scriptures, God has proclaimed
that various levels of blindness to the truth will be directed on people
through the age. Certain groups like the
Christian Zionists could and should be considered blind to certain Biblical
truths and they will most likely remain blind until an event occurs that forcefully
slaps the truth in their face.
The “slap in the face” event will probably be the prophesied
destruction of Jerusalem. The nation of
Israel is desperately false flagging gas attacks in Syria in an effort to
invoke the USA to declare war on Syria which will lead to a devastating war
with Russia. If Israel continues to bomb
certain parts of Syria they could be attacked by Russia which has been promised
by Russia to occur.
Isaiah 59:10 NET We grope along the wall like the blind, we grope
like those who cannot see; we stumble at noontime as if it were evening. Though
others are strong, we are like dead men.
Zephaniah 1:17 NET I will bring distress on the people and they
will stumble like blind men, for they have sinned against the LORD. Their blood
will be poured out like dirt; their flesh will be scattered like manure.
In my opinion, the largest and most dangerous Dunning-Kruger
current prophetic issue is the dispensational pre-tribulation rapture
concept. The Dallas Theological Seminary
development of this concept has led to the so-called seven year period of a
future tribulation period. This idea was
enhanced by the misunderstood so-called final week of Daniel’s 70 weeks
prophecy. The wrong starting date was
used and then enhanced with a historical oversight which left out the reigns of
certain Persian kings. These omitted reigns
were later confirmed as history due to recent archeological discoveries which
were never used to correct the original accepted theory of Daniel’s 70 weeks.
The unbiblical dispensation concept led the commentators to
claim the Church Age was merely an additional inserted dispensation until the
invented pre-tribulation rapture occurred which would take out all vestiges of
the Church allowing the Jews/Israelis to recommence their dispensation and rule
the world. (i.e. the Jews are attempting to rule the world but not in the manner as
preached by the evangelical Christian-Zionists and dispensationalists).
The DTS dispensationalists appear to have discovered the
book of Revelation as a roadmap to the timing and activities of the invented
seven year tribulation period. Some
commentators, aka Hal Lindsey, write and teach that actual locust-appearing
demons will swarm to earth from a pit in the ground and terrorize earthlings
with their leader either being a Nephilim or a fallen angel/Watcher named
Apollyon. Others view a literal zombie
like group of demonic horsemen marching toward the nation of Israel after they
are resurrected from the Euphrates River.
They visualize an earthquake so tremendous that it moves every square
inch of the earth’s crust (that would be a killer earthquake); the loss of most
sea life and the majority of animal life; with almost all water on the surface
of the earth turned to blood.
Visit the “prophecy” section of the “Before it’s News”
website and you will encounter the most scripturally twisted, convoluted, and
invented misunderstandings of end-times prophecy on the internet. The more bizarre the theory or story line the
more attention and hits a post receives.
The sad part is that the writers of these posts must actually believe
the trash they are posting.
Conclusion
My original, long-ago, opinion basically centered around the
dispensation-tribulation concept. The
first thing to go was the idea of a pre-tribulation rapture. The “revelation is a roadmap to the
tribulation” idea soon became shaky due to the many different interpretations
concerning the timeline of events as written in the Revelation. When presented with the historical view of
the Revelation, it was, at first, dismissed, but the continued reading and
study of the idea soon made me a believer.
I now see no other viewpoint or understanding as relevant.
Many readers may not believe anything that is stated in this
post. In that case either you or I are
suffering from the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Chuck Baldwin Concerning Christian Zionism & Scofield
The only reason the United States (and Israel) can get by
with these unconstitutional and unconscionable acts of aggression in the Middle
East is because the vast majority of evangelical Christians who put the
warmongering politicians in office have been propagandized to believe that
these wars for Israel are “holy” wars. They believe that the Rothschild Zionist
State of Israel is a reincarnated Biblical Israel. They further believe that this
reincarnated Israel is divinely appointed to have all of the land that God gave
to Old Testament Israel under the Abrahamic Covenant. But as theologian Adam
Clarke (1760 - 1832) wrote in his commentary on the Abrahamic Covenant in
Genesis 15:18, “This promise was fully accomplished in the days of David and
Solomon.” And so it was. But because Christians have been brainwashed by
Scofieldism, they believe that wars fought against any Arab country—no matter
how unconstitutional, no matter how illegal, no matter how murderous, no matter
how aggressive, no matter how horrific—are in accordance with “God’s plan for
Israel” and, therefore, divinely justified.
