dunning-kruger hits the nail on the head.
as long as the spectators think that they all play better than those on the field, it can still be endured. it will be bad if such people vote and can damage the well-being of the world. here the dunning-kruger-effect is called populism.
I don't know if it's just missing IQ or simple laziness to deal with the complexity of things and have to admit in the end that you simply can't know everything because your lifetime is too short.
Then one idiot gives the other idiot a simple answer to highly complicated questions and these people think they have more answers than others.
At a certain point, this assumption of knowing everything runs in arrogance, and even if that person should realize that everything he knows is wrong or incomplete, there is no way back, because that way would lead back until the cradle.
So I don't see this as an "effect" but as an incurable and highly contagious disease because people are too easily willing to take on ready-made answers - because it is almost impossible to ever guess that they are wrong and because too many other idiots claim the same thing.
