Challenge Overconfidence and Foster Intellectual Humility
How Street Epistemology Explores Confidence and Certainty

These techniques foster intellectual humility and promote thoughtful introspection.
SE encourages individuals to explore the nuances of belief confidence, from identifying uncertainty in personal assumptions to addressing overconfidence in reasoning. This process helps uncover biases, refine reasoning, and promote open-mindedness.
