Exploring Shibboleths and Insider Lingo

The curse of knowledge occurs when an individual, often unknowingly, assumes that others have the background or knowledge to understand a particular topic.

In this episode, we discuss how the curse of knowledge works, the factors that enhance or mitigate it, and how to effectively account for it in our personal and professional lives.
