Long time man! I only discovered this through a resteem.
Did the title make you think I am a jerk? Maybe it would if you thought it was something that I think
No, cos you put it in quotes!
The phone survey is surprising. I'd think pulling people on the phone would make it more likely that they would wear their humble mask. You got a real person there asking you such a question, you're likely to deny it, like you would in real life. But that's not what we see here.
On the other hand, I'm quite happy about the educated/uneducated breakdown. Cos that's exactly what I had predicted from experience! It's often said that educated people think too much of themselves, but if you consider how much they actually know, they're quite humble. And you see people who know very little, and they're quite the opposite of humble! And then you guesstimate the trajectory their ego would take if they knew as much as the people who actually know things, and you predict the kind of ego that only exists in psychos. So my prediction was either that the ego is a fixed thing, more or less the same regardless of education, it's role mainly to keep you upbeat in the face of adversity, or else that education actually humbles you.
