Love your stuff Brian! Just thought I'd point out that this graph (whilst intuitive) doesn't actually represent the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

David Dunning himself, mentions this in the following MIB podcast: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1HOw5iLUH5jGEUbrFWHIwY?si=1TtUiQjXT36485_IfYoxFA

On his weblog, Dennis Jerz states:

"No evidence from their study supports the narrative that the confidence of learners starts out at zero, spikes, nose-dives, and then climbs again — even though the Internet is full of graphics purported to illustrate that very narrative."

I've only been following you for and a few months, and am thrilled to say I've learned so much about life and investing, keep up the good work. Cheers from Australia.
