Man vs. Beast II
Manage episode 497137391 series 2889078
In this sequel to our “Man vs. Beast” episode, we answer the internet’s burning question: Could 100 unarmed men defeat a silverback gorilla? Turns out—yeah, they actually could. And that revelation cracks open a deeper psychological truth.
Jeff and Mace break down the clash between Dunning–Kruger delusion and Impostor Syndrome paralysis—why the least capable people overestimate themselves, while high performers secretly feel like frauds. It’s a full-force takedown of self-perception, backed by real research, wild survey data, and at least one fake commercial you’ll wish was real.
If you laughed, learned, or questioned your own grip on reality, smash that five-star rating and share this episode with the most overconfident or self-doubting person you know.
