I find it ironic that an excellent quote by a great thinker which advocated humility is now so often used as a means of dogmatic one-upmanship against religious people as a whole.

Looks similar to the Dunning-Kruger effect to me.

As Kruger and Dunning conclude, "the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others"

I see this quote like once a week on here, but not really complaining- it's such a great quote that it just reminds to keep using it.

Funny, because I find so many on this sub reddit to be completely certain of their belief system
