>thinks he's smart (and to be fair, is pretty knowledgeable in some fields of science)

<I'm smart at [thing] so I must be smart at everything, including [other thing]

>isn't actually good at [other thing]

<The solution [to hacked systems] seems to me, to create unbreakable systems t. black science man

I guess it's just a form of the Dunning-Kruger effect,

We have a term for people like that in Swedish (Fackidiot = faculty retard) it's basically just a form of dunning-kruger effect where experts within a single field start to believe that they are experts in all the fields. You see this happen a lot with high profile hollywood actors who get into politics.

Learning when and when not to shut up is a form of intelligence all on it's own.

More like a form of wisdom, but yes. Also, the more knowledgeable a person is in his field of study, the more he thinks he is qualified to speak on ethics, politics, economics, music, art, science, etc. But the thing is, nobody is exempt from the Dunning-Kruger. Our culture is a culture of narcissism where we are compelled to express our worthless and misinformed opinions on anything and everything. Everyone is a critic.
