They consider this newsworthy? This just in: 2015 came before 2016.

Incompetent People Too Ignorant to Know It

A growing body of psychology research shows that incompetence deprives people of the ability to recognize their own incompetence.

With more than a decade's worth of research, David Dunning, a psychologist at Cornell University, has demonstrated that humans find it "intrinsically difficult to get a sense of what we don't know."

After 10 years spent confirming the obvious, I wonder if David Dunning realizes that he is the perfect example of his own conclusion.

Turkey coup: military attempt to seize power from Erdogan as low flying jets and gunfire heard in Ankara and bridges across Bosphorus in Istanbul closed

Looks like it may be the beginning of the end for Erdogan, but it remains to be seen what the outcome will be.
