Have you ever wondered why some people overestimate their abilities, even when they lack the necessary knowledge or skills? This video explores the cognitive bias that causes people to believe they are smarter than they actually are.

    Nicely done video. Simple and to the point. Probably falling for it myself, looking back did it myself. As older I get recognize it more and more. Specially since the internet. Sadly, can not fix stupide.

    Almost all the managers I have worked for suffered from the Dunning Kruger effect
  • @chenkarp
    This effect is the basic character of most CEO's I have met.
  • In America this effect is quickly become the workplace standard. The American workplace is infested with managers who were hired because they have a degree, but absolutely no experience in the fields they're hired to manage workers in. So we end up with managers who do a lot of big talking, while bossing around people whose jobs they themselves, don't know how to do.
  • I've spent 45+ years in the skilled trades. I really don't think it is so much that they overestimate their abilities, it is that they underestimate the difficulty and complexity of the jobs. They watch a highly skilled tradesman work for 15 minutes and then think it's a menial task that anyone could do.

    I can think of a group of people I am supposed both to "care" about and to always think well of, who could have been created by the god named DunningKruger. The description is on point.
  • I’ve seen this effects in people going into investments they don’t know, getting peanuts & call themselves great investors.
  • @williamkz
    Example: 80% of male students rated their driving skills as 'above average'.
  • @tonywyli
    It seems that the Untied States as a country suffers from Dunning-Kruger effect.
  • I just learned about the Dunning Kruger effect, and I understand it perfectly!
  • @jpt3640
    Seeing it daily in YT comments. Where people glorify the video/author even if the facts are totally wrong. They just felt the entertaining overall sound and were comfortable.
  • I am working with a lot of work in my work place. Most of them inflat what they are capable of doing, puffed with ego, not really open or honest. I don't care if anyone feel offended by unfiltered truth.
  • @tzodearf2596
    This used to be called "being wise in one's own conceits," or just plain "presumption," as far as I know.
  • @pavlvstanner725
    Jeeze Louise, this perfectly describes the most annoying people in my life.
  • @lpin9365
    This has nothing to do with stupidity. The right title should be "Why losers think they are smart?"
  • @SFTCombat
    I deal with this everyday at work. I’m the president of my company, and I always explain the reasoning to my decisions. But no matter how much I explain, how much research I do, people that fall into this effect, simply ignore all.
  • @jamesharmer9293
    I have met a lot of these people. They're a pain in the arse!
  • does this apply to hubristic doctors who insisted MRNA shots are safe and still continue 'practicing' quackery?
