Episode notes

As a young person, you don't realize just how much of the world you don't know. Now that you're older, some sometimes that's because you just know more. The key is not to fill your head with too much knowledge until you've really diving into something.

The less we know, the more we know it. David and Tamler talk about the notorious Dunning-Kruger effect, which makes us overconfident in beliefs on topics we're ignorant about and under-confident when we're experts. Plus, we break down an evolutionary psychology article on why poor men and hungry men prefer women with big breasts. Trust us, it's a really bad study. We're sure about it.
