The Confidence Game

Great article! I have suffered of overconfidence myself, this is totally true; when you have a lot information you’re not necessarily better informed. For example with memories, having good long term memory can be a curse. You recall more than the average person, but that doesn’t mean you will recall better. Memories are tricky, and suffer alterations all the time. Thanks for this article, gave me inspiration for writing my next article!
Cheers
