Persevere through the first 2 minutes and you'll be rewarded with a hilarious commentary on many of the things that are wrong us. This sketch is from the comedy HBO series "Mr Show," by David Cross and Bob Odenkirk.

Jakhary Jackson has been a Portland Police Officer for many years. In this video he shares his experiences getting to know the tactics and attitudes of the protesters. Not all protesters are the same.
Wow. George Washington used a crude method for inoculating his troops for smallpox, knowing that many of them would die in the process, but it was for a greater good. I didn't know this connection between George Washington and smallpox. I now have much greater appreciation for the courage and innovative spirit of Washington.
Those who insist on interviewing candidates often make worse decisions. Shane Parrish at The Knowledge Project explains:
In the end, participants who were able to interview the students made worse predictions than those who only had access to biographical information. Why? Because the interviews introduced too much noise. They distracted participants with irrelevant information, making them forget the most significant predictive factor: past GPA. Of course, we do not have clear metrics like GPA for jobs. But this study indicates that interviews do not automatically lead to better judgments about a person.
This article contains many additional insights about interviewing. I highly recommend The Knowledge Project Podcast and Farnam Street Blog.
