The video discusses the Dunning-Kruger effect, a cognitive bias where people overestimate their abilities due to a lack of self-awareness.

The effect is explained as a double curse: lacking skills and the ability to recognize these deficiencies. Strategies to counteract this bias include seeking feedback and continuous learning.
