This was a widely shared and delightfully counterintuitive idea, but it’s not right. The first source that comes to mind is Dan Luu’s summary, but it’s been widely reported (though sadly hasn’t spread as wide as the original claim) https://danluu.com/dunning-kruger/ https://danluu.com/dunning-kruger/.

- bawolff 5y agoIm not sure im totally convinced (based on that article, i didn't read the citations) - that graph cuts off at a pretty low annual salary (200k). That's certainly a comfortable lifestyle, but that's still within the realm of what normal people on the high end of a good job make. Maybe the happiness cut off is further into the aristocracy - even if the increase in happiness is logrithmic in the amount of money, and that contunues. Logs grow slowly, maybe at some point it effectively doesn't matter.
