Look, I have to remind myself that I am a Dunning-Kruger walking and talking example and check myself.

a. The quick check is to poll the crowd. If the crowd's collective individuals opinions is that you are a fool, trust the opinion survey. You, “I”, are/am a fool.
b. If a. is the derived result of a check poll; then
a.1 -> check where your bias and ignorance lies. Identify it by taking the common denominator named in the check-yourself poll.
a.2 -> take corrective action by education. If you are a bigot or stupid on a subject or point of view because you have slogans and stereotypes or archetypes rattling inside you, instead of the thought tree of measured repeatable observations to verify your conclusions, then develop an independent point of view based on observation and experiment.
a.-> as a result of a.1 and a.2; you still find your point of view has not conformed to the crowd poll, but you find that now your point of view NOW has a valid repeatable set of observations and results, then you hold on until the rest of humanity catches up with you.

That is called "critical thinking".
