So you recently sent me an email after an episode in which we had discussed the Dunning Kruger effect, and you wrote, I was chatting with a colleague yesterday. about his skepticism of the Dunning Kruger effect.

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript (34 minutes, 5,967 words), segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.
