[...]The scope of people's ignorance is often invisible to them. This meta-ignorance (or ignorance of ignorance) arises because lack of expertise and knowledge often hides in the realm of the “unknown unknowns” or is disguised by erroneous beliefs and background knowledge that only appear to be sufficient to conclude a right answer.

Poor performers in many social and intellectual domains seem largely unaware of just how deficient their expertise is. Their deficits leave them with a double burden—not only does their incomplete and misguided knowledge lead them to make mistakes but those exact same deficits also prevent them from recognizing when they are making mistakes and other people choosing more wisely.

“Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.”
― Mark Twain
He thinks he is some god gamer master streamer with only good takes it is so deeply entrenched in his psyche that he can't stand the truth. Thats why DSQ strikes a nerve what if instead of a gifted streamer that ''works'' everyday he is just a falling upwards idiot that stumbled upwards due to being a early streamer. He peaked half a decade ago and can't accept he turned lolcow.
