Youare not so smart is a podcast about people who have no idea what they are doing. This week, we talk to the scientist responsible for coined the term dun and cougar effect. Professor David Dunning of cornell university in New York shares his insights on self-image with us.
Have you ever been confronted with the fact that you were in over your head, or that you had no idea what you were doing, or that you thought you were more skilled at something than you actually were? At its most extreme, this is called the Dunning-Kruger effect - the fact that it is very easy to be both unskilled and unaware, and in this episode we explore how it works and where you might expect to see it your own life.
