The more I learn, the dumber if feel. It’s humbling to discover there’s so much out there that we’ll never learn.

The amount of knowledge in this world combining all sciences is practically infinite.

This is a great explanation of this - other videos I have watched just say basically “we aren’t smart enough to understand our incompetence so we over estimate” which misses so many nuances and details of the study. This makes way more sense and shows why this study is important. Thanks!

The ONLY thing I know for sure is that I don’t know ANYTHING. I appreciate you for creating this channel. It’s a constant source of valuable intelligence, suppositions and insights. Thanks!

In life you should always be learning and finding ways of improving in every aspect of it

You can't know what you don't know until you know it. 💯

Knowing your shortcomings is key to being successful.

I don't understand overconfidence. The simple realistic thought that comes immediately to mind is: If a particular skill were so easy, everyone would be good at it, and it wouldn't really be considered a skill.

When I graduated high school back in '69, I think my IQ actually was around 80 or a bit under. However! Over the years, I've managed to boost my level of intellect (and probably my IQ as well by a few points) with a lot of book reading and on-campus college classes, mostly lower division. So my point is a lower IQ can be dealt-with, overcome to an extent, with a bit of tenacity, a good program, good intentions (to do good, fit into society, work-ethic etc).. So hang-in there! As the decades have passed, I've noticed society does seem to operate with a bit of a dumbing-down effect, as well, which seems to impact young people the worst (when we should be inspiring young people, just the opposite is occurring, -We're turning them off to learning/achieving). So it's not all on the individual. If we've let things decline, it's on all of us.

Smart people will tell you they are not that smart but I can assure you they know their abilities deep inside.

I have always lacked confidence in anything I've done. BUT, I wouldn't say my confidence drops at a steep rate, when I have learned to do something I didn't think I could do. I built a piece of furniture and my confidence actually went up from when I first started. I am very confident I could build that piece again. But another project, maybe bigger? It will drop because I haven't tackled that before.

Thanks for letting me aware. I just realized right now I'm having Dunning krugger effect too.

There is no need to rely on confidence once experience, knowledge, expertise, active listening, and humility govern one's life.

My dumb a$$ was like: "Kruger? That one from Nightmare on elm street?" 💀💀

This explains the Untied States of America. The movie Idiocracy illustrated this big time.

[frinoffrobis]

the more I learn the more I realize what I don't know

[schuylerhecht]

So my low self esteem means I'm a friggin genius!? Sweet..🤣

The more you know, the more you realise you don’t know.

a wise person knows his own foolishness.
