And we're back with another round of puzzling poetry!

The Haiclue is a haiku written by one of our most poetically-inclined team members (hi Alex!) and featuring the voice of the esteemed Addison Anderson. It contains three lines, each of which is a clue that hints at the subject of one of this month's upcoming lessons. 

Try to guess all three lesson topics, and post your guesses in the comments! (Nice work last month, guys!)

Okay, attempt #2: 1 is about the next big step for humankind, such as populating other planets and things that may cause us to do so. 2 is about the Dunning–Kruger effect or the Lake Wobegon effect. 3 is about the Wayward Sisters or the Three Witches from Macbeth? So perhaps it is about destiny.

Woah! First one to nail #2! Nice! How'd you figure it out? Also, very close on #3.

Thanks! Well, your hint to Tracey Tobkin's guesses gave it away! I searched for psychological concepts related to "know-it-all" behavior and Wikipedia did the rest :)
