“In the field of psychology, the Dunning\u2013Kruger effect is a cognitive bias, wherein persons of low ability suffer from illusory superiority when they mistakenly assess their ability as greater than it is. The cognitive bias of illusory superiority derives from low-ability persons’ metacognitive inability to recognize their own ineptitude.[1]<\/a>” \u00a0Wikipedia entry on The Dunning-Kruger Effect<\/a> **<\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n

Don’t Ask a Fool <\/strong>(Why He Falls in Love)<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t ask the sun
\nwhy the sky is blue
\nDon\u2019t ask the river
\nwhere it\u2019s flowing to
\nDon\u2019t ask the stars
\nwhy they shine up above
\nand don\u2019t ask a fool
\nwhy he falls in love<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t ask me
\nwhy I love you
\nDon\u2019t ask a slave
\nwhat he wants to do
\nDon\u2019t ask a dead man
\nwhat he\u2019s dreaming of
\nand don\u2019t ask a fool
\nwhy he falls in love<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t ask tomorrow<\/em>
\nwhen there\u2019s no today<\/em>
\nDon\u2019t ask forever<\/em>
\nif you\u2019ve gone away<\/em>
\nDon\u2019t ask for more<\/em>
\nwhen there\u2019s never enough<\/em>
\nAh \u2014 but don\u2019t ask a fool<\/em>
\nwhy he falls in love<\/em><\/p>\n
