The Dunning-Kruger effect is a bias in the brain in which you tend to think you are better at something than you actually are. The Dunning-Kruger effect is widely held across a variety of skill sets. In the United States, it’s generally held by a lot of people who think they are smarter than they actually are — but it’s particularly held by people who have been made untouchable by the system.
Now, if you’ve been made untouchable by the system and you’ve just been rising through the ranks for years based on your intersectional identity, you are going to think you are much better and more competent than you actually are.
