The problem with the world today is that intelligent people are full of doubts, not because they’re wrong, but because they understand complexity.

Meanwhile, those who lack understanding are full of confidence, and their certainty is mistaken for wisdom.

Social media amplifies this issue, rewarding boldness over thoughtfulness, making false confidence appear like truth on a massive scale.

We are caught in this massive loop where individuals with limited knowledge overestimate their competence and yet their messaging is amplified. In contrast, the true experts, aware of the complexities, leave room for error and flexibility, a trait that contributes to their expertise and yet this leads to their message to being diminished in comparison.
