Kevin Weitz, Psy.D. and William Bergquist, Ph.D. To recognize superior expertise would require people to have already a surfeit of expertise themselves. David Dunning (2012) There is a growing body of knowledge coming out of psychology and cognitive science that you have no clue why you act the way you do.

Recently, the conservative essayist, Jeff Jacoby, wrote a brief piece entitled “Nobody knows anything.” (Jacobi, 2022). He was commenting on the often-failed prophecies made at the start of 2021 about the upcoming year. Many mistakes were made by the prophets, pundits and experts of 2021 – perhaps more than is usually the case when seeking to predict and plan for …

The title “Google-fueled, Wikipedia based, Blog-sodden” is taken from Tom Nichols book entitled “The Death of Expertise”. While this description may be a little over the top, we are living through a period in our history where people are dying (as a result of the Covid pandemic), many of whom could be saved if they followed the advice of medical …
