I have rarely heard such a good example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
I stopped listening after the first 5 minutes but I believe he literally says that he has "1% of the appropriate knowledge to answer this question." I continued to listen anyways. 1% is almost the definition of beginner for Dunning-Kruger[1].
"Spy the Lie" or "How Emotions are Made" are both good books that go into depth about why it's near impossible to accurately judge anything about what or how someone is thinking and that there are no* accurate universal theories about human thinking or the link between human behaviour and human thought. (Feldman Barrett extensively footnotes her research in HEaM and it's really impressive.)
So, in short, this is an armchair psychologist who's gotten lucky in his particular area of the world (probably California?).
[1] If you read carefully, you'll realize that I don't believe in Dunning-Kruger either, given what I say. Sorry!
