Are you at the peak of the Mountain of Stupidity or in the Valley of Despair?
One way or another, I’m sure you are all familiar with the Dunning-Kruger effect.
You might have heard about it under the label of confident idiots, describing a behaviour of an unskilled individual being unaware of the lack of a specific skill, instead assuming to have a skill-level that is even superior to the experts in the field.
Are Subject Matter Experts really experts?
How do you know and what are the impacts of not knowing what you don’t know.
