Is anyone else caught in a weird Venn diagram of Imposter Syndrome and furious indignation and disdain for actual imposters in your field? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Context: I'm a second year medical student and currently residing in the deepest pit in the valley of the Dunning-Kruger graph, but am still constantly frustrated and infuriated with the push for introducing AI for quasi-self-diagnosis and loosening restrictions on inadequately educated providers like NP's from the for-profit "schools".

So, anyone else in a similar spot where you think you're kinda dumb, but you know you're still smarter than robots and people at the peak of the Dunning-Kruger graph in your field?

If inaction were deemed socially acceptable as a management strategy, the world would be an incredibly better place.

So much of the bullshit ideas come from managers who think they have to always seen to be doing something, whereas sufficiently complex systems are often self-balancing and require little to no direct action.

But to act on this they'd have to admit that managerial jobs are largely bullshit and unnecessary.
