H.E. 26 - The Illusion of Confidence

The Illusion of Confidence is just one of the many ways that our intuitions mislead us. Look for the text version of this post at www.happilyeduc.... Please visit and let me know what you think.

It really warms my heart that you might be interested in reading my dissertation. The sad thing about dissertation writing is that generally no one reads them. Mine will be on ProQuest when it's finished, but unless you're affiliated with some sort of academic institution, you may not have access to that. Assuming I'm allowed to, I'll post it on my blog or in some other free place. A note of caution though - it will be long and boring. But I'll summarize it in future blog posts.

Well done!

Doesn't sound boring at all. I subscribe to the theory that there is an audience for everything.
I have access with a major University in the U.S. so I'm sure Digital Dissertations (now ProQuest) is available to me.
Best of luck!

The Dunning-Kruger Effect sounds like a variant of the Socrates quote "True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing."
My personal experience is that those who hesitate to speak with authority on a given subject tend to make suggestions rather than state facts, and that possibilities are more reliable than probabilities. However, absolutes are rare in those with more knowledge.
I'd been interest in reading your dissertation once completed. Where will it be published?

You can be more confident with better camera.....
