Dunning-Kruger, Meet COVID
Join us live this afternoon (Monday, June 1) at 5:30 EDT, 4:30 CDT, 2:30 PDT.
Join Alison, Dave and I for some fun, irreverent conversation, cool science, and intelligent, straight talk about the realities of interesting times. You can also interact with us live on YouTube.
Today's conversation: We'll be talking about the Dunning-Kruger Effect, motivated reasoning, and a virus that believes in us whether or not we believe in it.
We are now watching comments on the YouTube feed, so you are welcome to join in, offer comments, and ask questions live.

It would be funny were it not for the fact that before Washington University took the video down it had been promoted by the Washington Times and watched by 112,000 people.
Here is my personal rebuttall:
