Dunning-Kruger Science Club T-Shirt | Cognitive Bias Apparel

Behold, the ultimate paradox in cotton form! Our "Dunning-Kruger Science Club" t-shirt is the wearable equivalent of declaring yourself simultaneously the smartest and most clueless person in any room—a quantum superposition of intellectual states that would make Schrödinger's cat jealous.

Featuring a dazzling metallic gradient text that's trying just a bit too hard to look scientific (much like that guy at the party who just discovered Neil deGrasse Tyson videos), this shirt is adorned with various scientific doodads and laboratory whatnots hovering above the text. They're there to remind everyone that you've definitely seen science at some point, probably on television.

The irony is delicious enough to require nutritional labeling—wearing a shirt about the cognitive bias where incompetent people overestimate their competence is either brilliant self-awareness or a spectacular self-own. Either way, you'll be the walking embodiment of metacognition at your next trivia night.

The Backstory

For those who slept through Psychology 101 (we don't judge—those 8am classes are brutal), the Dunning-Kruger effect is the cognitive bias where people with limited knowledge in a specific area believe they're experts while actual experts tend to underestimate their abilities. Essentially, it's why your uncle who watched a YouTube video about vaccines feels qualified to debate immunologists at Thanksgiving dinner.

The design's scientific paraphernalia floating above the text represents the superficial trappings of expertise without the depth—like decorating your apartment with vintage telescopes despite not being able to locate Mars in the night sky. The metallic gradient text mimics the shiny veneer of confidence that often masks a canyon of incompetence, creating a wearable psychology lesson that's as educational as it is fashion-forward.

Perfect For:

-Psychology professors with a dangerous sense of humor
-Science enthusiasts who appreciate ironic self-reflection
-Anyone who's ever realized mid-argument that they have absolutely no idea what they're talking about
-That friend who confidently explained quantum physics after watching "Interstellar" once
