The Derrick Effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled people make poor decisions and reach erroneous conclusions, but their incompetence denies them the metacognitive ability to realize their mistakes. The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their own ability as above average, much higher than it actually is. This leads to the situation in which less competent people rate their own ability higher than more competent people.

Get the Derrick mug.Derren is a name for someone who is an edgy fucking bastard. Usually an alpha male upon the virgin group, he is defined as "literally hitler." While he does this for shits and giggles, he fights against some white dude who is the CEO of racism for the position of CEO. His influence on people around him is about as comparable to a black hole, such as making ethnic groups a funny insult and getting his jokes stolen. The cream of the crop is that he is a minority, making the whole situation funnier.
