topic: [[Deciding]] people: #on/haydenrichards created: 2023-05-14 *I know the first paragraph of every book in my library so I'm a genius.* This reminds me of [[don't believe everything you think]], be skeptical of your knowledge because you probably don't know as much as you lead yourself to believe It's kind of like [[Evidence of Understanding]] includes being able to teach someone else what you know. This exists in the cognitive domain I would think, so [[Propositional Knowing]]. This is one of the [[cognitive biases]], where we tend to believe that we know more than we do. This matters because when people are telling us what they know, if we ask them to explain something more deeply, since we are confused, they often will struggle to say why they believe what they believe. This can help expose the [[Cognitive Dissonance]] of their actual non-expertise without an argument, by approaching with genuine [[curiosity]]. Then the speaker can undergo their own [[cognitive reframing]]. They do the work, not you! ##### What would the opposite argument be? The worst thing that happens is that they actually hold expertise in this area and they can help US learn something unexpected. tags: #note/idea | #on/bias | #on/knowledge ##### Sources: [CommsLab: How to CHANGE MINDS with "Don't-Know-Mind"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Patk5bp-tVw)
