What A Simple Question… dives into the world of overconfidence, showing how our brains use sneaky shortcuts and why the classic Dunning-Kruger curve isn’t quite what you think.

But it’s not all doom and gloom: a little swagger can be good if you balance it with honest feedback. The video lays out science-backed hacks for keeping your ego in check (spoiler: feedback loops are your new best friend) and even teases a tabletop game on Kickstarter designed to help you bust that dangerous bias.
