STM Podcast #66: Liz Dorval - The Dunning-Kruger Effect: Why Incompetent People Think They're Great

On episode 66, we welcome back Liz Dorval to discuss the Dunning-Kruger Effect; social and psychological strategies to mitigate its harm such as fostering the growth mindset, eliminating echo chambers, and teaching how to accept feedback; appealing to authority because of our general inability to be specialists in a multitude of areas; why self-diagnosing is often counter-productive; Jordan Peterson’s fear of tyranny and why his reasoning is biased; how con-men use sophistry to deceive the public; and why Dunning-Kruger doesn’t exist on the intellectual extremes.
