Nothing builds certainty quite like skipping the research.

There’s confidence, and then there’s the remarkable self-assurance of someone who has never once been inconvenienced by additional information.

I Wish I Had the Confidence of Someone Who Never Reads is for readers, researchers, chronic fact-checkers, and anyone who has watched a wildly uninformed opinion delivered with the conviction of a closing argument.

Created in the Hard Mode IRL style, the design keeps the joke front and center with oversized vintage serif typography and a stripped-back composition. No elaborate illustration. No unnecessary explanation. Just one dry observation presented with exactly as much confidence as the people it’s about.
