TL;DR: Veritasium tackles overconfidence—the sneaky bias that makes us think we’re always right—by breaking down the real Dunning-Kruger curve, exploring why our brains cut corners, and showing how feedback (from trading disasters like Nick Leeson’s to old-bank collapses) can keep us honest. It even argues that a bit of swagger can be handy, as long as you know when to check it.

Packed with expert insights from Professors Moore and Fischhoff, case studies, and practical fixes, this episode is your guide to turning ego into an edge.
