My shows may be 10-12 minutes up to about 30-45 minutes - depending on the topic and if I bring a guest in via online connections. The content will be clinically sound material, opinion, and topical headline issues (trauma, school shootings, workplace depression, bullying, parenting, etc). I have 45 years in behavioral health. I'm the co-creator, and co-writer of Episodes-The Movie and The Episodes Project, including Spotlight on the Community.

MindSet with Tom McNulty, M.S. - The Dunning-Kruger Effect in Today's Society
Tuesday, 10 February, 2026
Sadly, our society is overflowing with misinformation and intentionally incorrect and overestimated proclamations from individuals who are invested in protecting their own incompetence. Their primary objective is to protect and inflate their own sense of self, their flawed knowledge base in an effort to appear superior to others. They defend their intellectually deficient claims in order to control those they believe cannot see through their mask of deception. We see this daily in politics, religion, medicine, and all those in positions of expected skill strength. Too often, they are self-inflicted by the Dunning-Kruger Effect - a psychological condition of "cognitive bias". The Dunning-Kruger Effect is attributed to those who proclaim skills they do not posses. Typically, these are individuals who are attention seekers who believe they are fully equipped to render opinions or carry out tasks they have little to no knowledge about that field. Many such individuals' incompetence is a defense mechanism against their insecurities and/or a need to feel superior. Some people underestimate their skills they truly have, but most tend to fabricate their abilities. Obviously, in key areas such as medicine, politics, and other critical fields can lead to tragic outcomes or a flock of dismayed followers. Please listen to this podcast and share it with friends, professionals, media, and teachers.
