The Danger of Thinking You’re Right

Conversation - B2-C1 | Advance Level

Description

Robert Greene once said that incompetent people cause more harm than evil ones. Why? Because they act with conviction, even when they’re wrong.In this session, we’ll unpack what incompetence really means, how overconfidence blinds us, and why true wisdom might start with saying, “I don’t know.”We’ll reflect on:- The difference between stupidity and ignorance.- Why “knowing it all” is often a red flag.- How humility can make us better leaders, colleagues, and humans.- Ways to deal with people who “think they know better.”This will be a thought-provoking and honest session where every opinion is welcome especially if it changes halfway through.

Questions list

1. Have you ever been too sure about something… and turned out to be wrong? What happened?

2. Do you think it’s possible to be both intelligent and incompetent?

3. How do you usually react when someone corrects you in public?

1. Why do you think people who know less sometimes act more confident than those who know more?

2. Can ignorance be dangerous when it’s mixed with confidence or authority?

3. Robert Greene says “incompetent people cause more harm than evil ones.” Do you agree?

4. What’s the difference between stupidity, ignorance, and incompetence?

5. Do you think social media amplifies incompetence or challenges it?

6. How can we stay humble and open-minded in a world that rewards certainty?

7. What do you think makes a person truly wise?

8. How do you personally deal with people who think they “know it all”?
