The curse of knowledge is a cognitive bias where experts struggle to convey their understanding in a way that others can grasp, due to their deep familiarity with the subject. This often leads to communication that is laden with jargon and complexity, alienating those who do not share the same level of expertise. Overcoming this bias requires a deliberate effort to simplify information and adopt an empathetic approach, recognizing the diverse knowledge levels of others. By translating complex concepts into clear, accessible language and actively seeking feedback, we can bridge the gap between knowing and understanding, fostering more effective and inclusive communication.
