- rectang 8y agoThe formulation I like is the "curse of knowledge". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_knowledge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_knowledge But overcoming the "curse of knowledge" is exactly what makes for good teachers, good designers, good communicators, and so on! This idea that you better you are at "teach", the worse you are at "do" and vice versa is A) a sharp dig at academia, and B) a result of the cognitive dissonance we feel when someone is extraordinarily good at something valuable but has underdeveloped teaching skills.
