Episode 170: Ignorance and intelligence

In the course of life, we often find ourselves in the place of
the learner. This could be because we're starting a new course of
study, or because we're entering into a new level of mastery. In
these moments, ignorance feels close to us, and we're more aware
than usual of the extent of our knowledge. Unfortunately, some of
us have a tendency to overextend this ignorance into judgments
about our intelligence. In this episode, I'll discuss why this
doesn't make sense.
