On The Peak of Mount Stupid Podcast

In a time when strong opinions are fashionable and pulling other people's views down seems normal, have you ever spent time considering why you think the way you think? On The Peak Of Mount Stupid is a podcast that introduces you to different ways of thinking and areas of philosophy and psychology that could help you to understand your biases and the lenses through which you view the world, all explained in a light-hearted and simple way. The aim isn’t to tell you what to think, but to explore different principles and ways of thinking. The format of the podcast is simple - each week Sam brings a philosophy or area of critical thinking to the table that Andrew doesn’t know about and explains it to him. They talk about it, try to get to grips with it and then try to apply it to day-to-day life.

On The Peak of Mount Stupid Podcast

The Dunning-Kruger effect

January 13, 2020 • Sam Hardy and Andrew Stansbury • Season 1 • Episode 1

In Episode 1, Sam and Andrew briefly introduce themselves and why they are interested in critical thinking. They outline why they are adding to this very saturated podcast market and why the listener may also enjoy getting involved.

They then go onto discuss a psychological principle called the Dunning-Kruger effect. Did you know that 50% of drivers think they are in the top 10% of drivers? The Dunning-Kruger principle explains why we think we know more than we do and how we can avoid being know-it-alls. It also helps to explain how Sam and Andrew are by no means experts in this field, but are learning about new ways of thinking to help benefit them in day-to-day life - and so can you.

Episodes are released at 7am on Tuesday mornings.
