Psychology of Moral FailureDiscover the cognitive bias where people with low ability in a task overestimate their skill.

This dual burden means unskilled individuals not only make mistakes, but their incompetence also prevents them from realizing it. It's a paradox that makes us wonder: where might we be confidently wrong in our own lives?
