👋 Hey there! My name is Abhishek. Welcome to a new edition of The Sunday Wisdom! This is the best way to learn new things with the least amount of effort.

It’s a collection of weekly essays on a variety of topics, such as psychology, health, science, philosophy, economics, business, and more — all varied enough to turn you into a polymath. 🧠

The latest two editions are always free, the rest are available to paid subscribers.

With a modest contribution you’re not only helping keep The Sunday Wisdom going, you also get access to 200+ past issues

Now, on to this week’s essay.

This is the second part of a two-part essay where we explore human thinking, based on the learnings from Tim Urban’s excellent book, What’s Our Problem?. This week we’ll especially try to understand why, despite being super stupid, some people are still super super confident. It’s about 1,500 words.
