Recursive Dunning-Kruger Effect

When someone is aware of the Dunning-Kruger Effect as a concept, and incorrectly presumes this awareness of the concept means he is not subject to it.

Flat-earther: Why are people so convinced the earth is round?
Another flat-earther: Because idiots have a tendency to think they're smarter than they are. In reality, they are sheep!

Person not divorced from empirical reality: You suffer from the Recursive Dunning-Kruger Effect.

psychic-recursive gene

The gene responsible for making some people believe that anything from homosexuality to kleptomania can be tied to a single gene.

He says he's found a gay gene, an anti-social gene, a literary gene and a deep-sea exploration-promoting gene. I guess his psychic-recursive gene is working overtime.

Here's what recursion is:
- What means "what means"?
- Who is "who is"?

Recursiotation

A method of designing algorithms that consists of recursion and regurgitated code that no one is able to explain.

"This partitioning algorithm was written using recursiotation, I have no clue how it works but it does so please leave it alone."

recursion

Recursion is when something repeats. It does it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

That picture is having a smaller version of itself and a smaller and a smaller all the way down forever. It's recursion!
