Cognitive bias. False memory. The Dunning-Kruger effect. What do they all have in common?

They show how unreliable our minds can be.

In this episode, we explore the science and philosophy of self-knowledge.

From flawed reasoning and failed planning to empathy gaps and epistemic humility. But explained using normal English...

Along the way, we uncover powerful tools to help you become more reliable, more curious, and a little less wrong.
