Malcolm Gladwell literally gave a 1-hour masterclass on why some people succeed and others don't and it will completely change how you think about talent, effort, and success.
This is not a new story.
Black men and Black women across this country continue to be pulled over, physically removed from their vehicles, and charged with resisting.
Not because they broke the law, but because the charge gives cover to the officer who did.
The bodycam doesn’t lie.
Watch how quickly this stop escalates. Watch the arm. Watch the chant.
This is a pattern and until there is real accountability it will keep happening.
This is not what protection looks like and we all know it.
The idea vaccines cause autism was invented by Andrew Wakefield in 1998 and was so thoroughly debunked he lost his license for gross malpractice
And here we are 27 years later RFK Jr dredging up the same nonsense
Such a tiresome waste of time
Ok… so I just read an article from Stanford about AI and hiring and it sounds like a conspiracy theory until you realize it’s actually how landing a job works now.
Essentially the say that over 90% of companies use automated systems to screen resumes before an employee ever sees it. The study looked at 4 million applications from about 3 million people and found that most companies are using algorithms from the same exact third party companies. So… basically if the algorithm doesn’t like you at the first company you applied to there’s a solid chance the exact same bias/score is rejecting you at any other company using this tool too regardless if you’re more qualified for that role than the first role. The paper says it’s like planting an entire country’s crops from the exact same seed. If there’s a flaw it spreads everywhere. The same thing happens in hiring now. People assume they’re getting a bunch of independent chances when they apply to different jobs but they are just getting evaluated by the same system over and over again.
One of the craziest things was that 4% of applicants who applied to 10 different jobs were recommended for rejection by the algorithm every single time….
