The famous Dunning-Kruger curve never appeared in the study. The $1 lie experiment just failed its largest replication, and scientists are fighting about it right now. We cover what the research actually says, including the contested parts.
Every Wednesday: one cognitive bias, the real experiments behind it, cinematic visuals built for the idea, and one question that catches your own mind in the act.
Every claim traces to a primary source, and the sources are listed under every video. That is the whole point. Think sharper. Get fooled less.
