I don't doubt there could be a correlation but is this "study" legit or are you being comical/snide? it comes across as defensive or at least snide. did I need sauce to support that humility is a virtue? how about every deep state swamp creature is a psychopath which feeds off of narcissism, or are we unable to "prove" that?
all good fren. my initial draft response made me stop and realize that you might be genuinely relaying a study, because at first I was thinking what an asshole, ha. as we know studies can say whatever the commissioner of the study wants, but this study you reference I tend to believe. in reality, many of us (me included) were confident idiots when we were younger so I imagine this type of mentality could be associated with criminals, and those that never grow up, or as we say here "awaken". I mean logically, what criminal goes into perpetrating a crime thinking they are going to get caught?
you're quite welcome. I think it's a great article that really does articulate the dilemma almost perfectly. it's more or less why I find Socrates and the quote (it has variations) attributed to him so profound:
"If I am the wisest man alive, it is for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing"
I take it to mean not that one can't have a strong sense of what the truth may be, but they realize they can never truly KNOW with 100% certainty and they realize their own strongest beliefs are challengeable and could be disproven. also what I consider to be the truest of anons on GAW

I read an article that articulates the confident idiot psychology quite well and I think this is it if you want to give it a read: https://psmag.com/social-justice/confident-idiots-92793
