You read two posts. Watched one video. And felt like you knew enough to decide? That’s the “Illusion of Information Adequacy” - a cognitive bias that tricks us into believing we have enough data, when we don’t. We confuse exposure with understanding, and worse, with expertise. Real-life examples: – thinking you understand crypto market after one thread – believing you can coach others after one motivational book – hearing one health tip and changing you lifestyle But shallow knowledge is dangerous. It closes the door to curiosity and growth. Stay skeptical. Ask more. Go deeper. Ever fell into this trap?

Great point! I've definitely underestimated topics after brief exposure. Once thought I understood investing from a few articles - learned the hard way I didn't. Your reminder about staying curious and digging deeper is spot on.
