The habit gets a new name.
Sara Foster’s “research” on flight variables is a new level of anxious flying. She thinks she’s an expert after studying the weather and turbulence tracker. The pilot and co-pilot politely listen to her concerns. Meanwhile, actual experts roll their eyes.
Everyone’s an expert on everything, until they’re not. Foster’s TikTok is a prime example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Stay curious, doubt yourself, and talk to actual experts – but maybe not in the cockpit.
The routine arrives with confidence: amateur experts taking over the internet.
