OTA LEADERSHIP INDEX

David Dunning

ARCHETYPE

The Navigator

Judgement in the fog, money, risk and the call others cannot make.

David Dunning fits The Navigator because he charts the treacherous gap between what people know and what they think they know, a distinction he has mapped for decades with clinical precision. His warnings about epistemic trespassing and invisible ignorance are never abstract. They function as intellectual coordinates, handed to audiences so they can orient themselves in information-saturated terrain. He does not merely diagnose disorientation, he equips others to find their bearings.

EXPLAINING LIMITS OF SELF-KNOWLEDGE

We've written about epistemic trespassing, where people in one area of expertise decide they can trespass into another and make huge public proclamations.

DESCRIBING OVERCONFIDENCE IN EXPERTISE

Dealing with information is going to be the skill that we all need. Finding experts and evaluating experts is going to be a skill that we all need.
