You Don't Know What You Don't Know

You don't know what you don't know.  And yes, there is research that says so.  From the Department of Psychology at Cornell comes this 1999 conclusion:

I'll  put it in simple terms:  Education =Ability

I'll put it in simpler terms: You Don't Know What You Don't Know

The less you train, the less you know and the less you really know about what you think you know and the less you know about what you don't know but think you know. In medicine, education is everything. There are no shortcuts to rising above the "incompetence that robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it."

It couldn't get anymore simpler than that, even for the uneducated.
