A good way of combating Dunning Krueger is just following Socrates famous advice- "I must be smart, I know that I know nothing"


"To know what you know and what you do not know, that is true knowledge"
(Various iterations attributed to Confucius, Loa Tzu, Socrates, et al)

I have to keep reminding myself of this and other quotes! (I posted this quote on my office wall over 45 years ago, providing copies to my kids and grandkids throughout the years).

I ran into Quantum Mechanics (Nee Quantum Physics) as an amateur just over 40 years ago via John Gribbin's book, "In Search of Schroedinger's Cat". 40 years later, still an amateur reading more and still counting, it's become abundantly clear to me that I don't know anything AT ALL!
