Just something random that I thought would be interesting to post for whatever reason 😀
What's your take on this?

I'd say a bit of both!

There's something called the Dunning Kreuger effect where people with a lack of knowledge on something overestimate their knowledge on it.

It’s like when Wikipedia says generation z starts between 95-97 since opinions vary to which one it should be and i try to tell them as a 1995 kid i’m one on the cusp and they start getting aggressive and persistent with their claims that it’s official that it starts in 1997 so you might be on to something there 😀

Tbh some of those generation years are pretty arbitrary, so I don't get what the fuss is over.

Try telling social media people that😏
Like if you are born at the end of a generation you will not be like someone born at the start of it so it’s a dead argument, I 100% agree with you.
 
If they are stupid, I don't think they have the reasoning to know that they are stupid. Their stupidity will make them think that they are smart.
 
As much as I would like to sat that stupid people do know they are stupid, some of the things I have seen people do that have been really stupid tell me that they really do not know that what they were trying to do was stupid.

I think it depends on the person. Some people act stupid for attention and know they are acting stupid but others tend to act stupid but not really see the error in their ways.
