+◊blockquote{“◊caps{James I was} always boasting of his skill in what he called kingcraft; and
+yet it is hardly possible even to imagine a course more directly opposed to all the rules of
+kingcraft than that which he followed…he enraged and alarmed his Parliament by constantly telling
+them that they held their privileges merely during his pleasure, and that they had no more business
+to inquire what he might lawfully do than what the Deity might lawfully do…his cowardice, his
+childishness, his pedantry, his ungainly person and manners, his provincial accent, made him an act
+of derision…On the day of the accession of James the First our country descended from the rank she
+had hitherto held, and began to be regarded as a power hardly of the second order.”

+◊note[#:date "2019-04-10"]{I had originally transcribed this quote alongside a link to ◊link[1]{a
+New York Times piece} about the Dunning-Kruger effect:
+
+◊blockquote{‘Dunning and Kruger argued in their paper, “When people are incompetent in the
+strategies they adopt to achieve success and satisfaction, they suffer a dual burden: Not only do
+they reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but their incompetence robs them of
+the ability to realize it. Instead, like Mr. Wheeler, they are left with the erroneous impression
+they are doing just fine.”
+
+‘It became known as the Dunning-Kruger Effect — our incompetence masks our ability to recognize our
+incompetence.‘}
+
+James I and others like him must represet some special subset of Dunning-Kruger, when the afflicted
+person is also so insulated by their class and power that they can never actually suffer the effects
+of their incompetence.}
