This has actually been studied; dumb people actually think they are smarter and more clever than they really are. In effect, dumb people don’t know that they’re dumb.
It’s interesting. The level of aggression in your post comes across as defensive. Perhaps you wonder if you’re perceived as a person with unjustified self-confidence or as someone with sociopathic tendencies? You come across as someone who wants to be smug, sarcastic and witty. Unfortunately, your post is riddled with as many logical fallacies and made-up words as anyone else up here. You’re not special. “Irregardless”? Seriously? You do have remarkable insights though, as Stoneburg points out, but it’s not necessary to rip a apart everything that Freemal stated nor to be abusive. Freemal’s points are also interesting to read and I find them enlightening.
My main quibble with what Freemal asserts is that there are several blanket generalizations that could be refined for greater accuracy. For instance, confident people are not all delusional. Some, possibly even a significant number might be. The point I think is that people who are self aware cannot look at the condition of other people in the world, those who live at the top as well as the bottom of the heap, and still feel very good about themselves and all the things they do to contribute to the distribution of these undeserved privileges and privations. Isn’t the happy-go-lucky businessman careening down the highway in his SUV while his kids watch a DVD in the back and his wife nags him about rolling over the 401k as he worries whether the stripper at the club might have caused him that little herpes-like sore at the corner of his mouth, which he’s checking in the rearview mirror at the moment he collides with the guardrail, really as much a victim of his multi-faceted ‘denial’ as a perp? To be a functioning member of the social infrastructure, requires varying levels of denial. To be fully or mostly self-aware (and not be a hypocrite) one cannot participate in society. There are many reasons hermits go into the wilderness. This would be one of the major ones. So while you make valid and interesting points, GHO57, overall I’d agree moreso with the points Freemal made.
This is a very old zombie thread (I know, it’s almost Hallowe’en).
Regardless of your opinion of the poster, I would note that the poster in question has not visited this site in two years, so your opinions may not actually be relevant to him or her.
Welcome to the SDMB, but you might want to check posting dates before you respond to a thread.
Hey, I didn’t check the date. True. Hope my post disturbs the undead. 
I love halloween.
Everybody thinks they are a good person deep down. I’m sure Hitler thought he was a decent guy deep down. Sure, you may have to act in certain ways but there is a good reason for it. etc etc etc.
It’s like a sense of humor. Everyone thinks they have a sense of humor but these same people look around and see people that don’t have one.
A story I have said on here before about a neighbor hitting my wife’s car apologising prefusely…then lying to the insurance company about it being her fault…I’m sure she thinks she is a good person. She also still goes to church every Sunday and considers herself a Godly woman…even though she bore false witness and stole and could even correct to this day…but she feels she is good with God because she is a good person. In reality she is a lying, thieving piece of shit but she doesn’t think so…
This delusion that one is a good person is common/normal with people.
From Bull Durham:
OP:
You got defensive when several people here pointed out the rambling and over-wrought nature of your posts.
Do you consider yourself a “good” person to have deflected this consensus criticism and to continue in your erroneous ways?
I wonder if a little of this kind of delusion is essential for functioning. When a person is constantly doubting their “goodness”, they find themselves in a depressed, anxious state…unable to get out of bed and go about the business of living. It’s almost like you need to have a tiny sliver of a blindspot just so you aren’t always fixated on castigating and/or fixing yourself.
