What A Simple Question Reveals About The Most Dangerous Cognitive Bias

This video dives into our hidden blind spot—overconfidence—by asking a deceptively simple question: “How confident are you that you’re right?” You’ll see the real Dunning-Kruger curve, discover how your brain takes shortcuts (and why a dash of self-assurance isn’t always bad), and learn why feedback is the secret sauce for keeping your ego in check.

Along the way, we unpack dramatic case studies—like Nick Leeson’s rogue trading that sank Barings Bank—and introduce a new Kickstarter tabletop game designed to help you recalibrate your certainty. By the end, you’ll have practical tips (and a fun way) to spot and stop overconfidence before it trips you up.
