Dunning-Kruger
(Michael, have you seen this?)
"The Dunning-Kruger
effect is a type of cognitive bias in which people believe that they
are smarter and more capable than they really are. Essentially, when people lack the skills needed to recognize their own
incompetence."
Yeah, . . . And it's not only people we disagree with who have this cognitive bias, eh? We walk among us.😉
"How to Avoid the Dunning-Kruger Effect" --from Psychology Today "To avoid falling prey to the Dunning-Kruger effect,
people can honestly and routinely question their knowledge base and the
conclusions they draw, rather than blindly accepting them. As David
Dunning proposes, people can be their own devil’s advocates, by challenging themselves to probe how they might possibly be wrong."
Yes, I’ve seen it and liked it. If only Individual-1 were a drinker, this could be his brand.
ReplyDeleteI'd add to what PT says: it’s always good to remind yourself of how much you don’t know. (Like, say, by walking into a library.)
ReplyDeleteMICHAEL: Maybe you even posted it? Libraries are the best antidote to Dunning Kruger! A visual representation of How Much I Don't KNow!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! That "ad" is hilarious.
