Dunning Kruger Effect

Most of us have blind-spots that result in certain cognitive biases.  It can impact our own ability to seek, learn and absorb new things.

In summary,

The competent correctly estimate their competence and overestimate the competence of others.  The incompetent overestimate their own competence vis-a-vis that of others.

More knowledge increases people's awareness of how little they know.  But apparently, it can reduce their awareness of how little others know.  Conversly, little knowledge gives a sense of omniscience; because to know you know nothing requires a sense of how much there is to know.
