Nuance: Why the Loudest Voices Know the Least

About this episode

The episode explores the Dunning-Kruger effect and the dynamics of certainty and hesitation in communication.

Why do the loudest voices sound so certain—while the most informed ones hesitate? In this Nuance episode, we break down the Dunning–Kruger effect, how bias fills in missing details, and why realizing you might be wrong makes it harder to yell. This isn’t left vs. right—it’s human.
