Confidence in Ignorance

from A Cup of Tea Hosted by Jared

Knowing a little about something can't be a bad thing or cause harm, right? Actually, having only limited knowledge can be more dangerous than having no knowledge or the most knowledge relative to others. This is the foundation of what is known as the Dunning-Kruger Effect. Host Jared discusses this effect at length by putting forth evidence that could either falsify or support the existence of this psychological phenomena. He also provides the context for which this effect can be observed in the real world as well as the very real consequences that falling in line with this well-known pattern can have on vulnerable people.
