Why Dumb People Think They’re Smart – Dunning-Kruger Effect EXPLAINED!

You’ve probably seen it — someone who knows very little but acts like they know everything.
That’s the Dunning-Kruger Effect, a well-documented cognitive bias where people with low ability overestimate themselves, while highly skilled individuals often underestimate their competence.

In this episode, we explore:
• Where the term “Dunning-Kruger” came from
• The original 1999 study that kicked it off
• Why this bias shows up in classrooms, politics, online debates, and even at work
• How to recognize it in yourself or others
• How to develop intellectual humility without losing confidence

🎓 Plus: examples from real life, studies, and simple visual charts to help you never fall into this trap again.
