I had no point. I just wanted to criticize myself.

I'm Angela Duckworth. I'm Stephen Dubner. And you're listening to No Stupid Questions.

Today on the show, we know misogyny is wrong. But what about misandry? Hey, tell me more about how you hate me.

Also, how do you stop obsessing over things you can't change?

All who ruminate are ruminants, but not all ruminants necessarily ruminate.

Angela, my question for you today is a little circular and a little meta.

It's totally fine.

So you recently sent me an email after an episode in which we had discussed the Dunning Kruger

effect. And you wrote, I was chatting with a colleague yesterday about his skepticism of the

Dunning Krueger effect. I think my updated view is that it may occur and likely does, but does so

alongside regression to the man. Okay, typo. Now, plainly, that was just a typo. You meant to type

regression to the mean. But when I saw that, I thought, wow, regression to the man. That is maybe

the world's best Freudian slip ever, especially in light of a different recent conversation you and I had.

Because in this other conversation, you had brought up the Trier stress test.

The Trier Social Stress Test.

I just want to play you the clip to get it fresh in our mind. Okay. Have you heard of the truer social stress test? I've not. I have a theory that only men name things after themselves. So guess who came up with this social stress test? Yes, that's right. Trir. Trir did, and he was a dude. Okay. Now, interestingly, Angela, that turned out to be

wrong. Wait, what turned out to be wrong specifically? Well, here, I'll play you the fact check,

because Rebecca came in at the end of this episode to tell us what was actually what. So let's hear that

clip, too. Angela says that she has a theory that only men named things after themselves, and she cites

the Trier Social Stress Test as an example.

Men have certainly named quite a few things after themselves throughout history.

However, the Trier Social Stress Test doesn't fit the bill.
