About this listen
Welcome to the wild world of the Dunning-Kruger Effect—a mind-bending cognitive bias where the less you know, the more you think you know. In this episode, we unravel the hilarious (and true!) story of a bank robber who thought lemon juice would make him invisible, and how this bizarre crime inspired groundbreaking research into overconfidence and self-awareness.
Discover why incompetence can blind us to our own shortcomings, while true experts often underestimate themselves, assuming everyone else knows what they know. We’ll break down the psychology behind self-assessment bias, explore why smart people sometimes feel like imposters, and reveal how continuous learning and honest feedback are the real superpowers for personal growth.
If you’ve ever cringed at your own past confidence or wondered why some people just don’t “get it,” this episode is for you. Packed with relatable stories, surprising science, and practical tips, it’s a must-listen for anyone obsessed with understanding the quirks of the human mind.
Hit play, share with your favorite know-it-all (or humble genius), and subscribe for more brain-bending psychology podcasts that make you smarter every week!
