    To the several people who reported this post:

    My cat’s name is Possum. Not really a crazy name, but it has caused confusion before.

    Once I was picking her up from the vet and said “I’m here to pick up Possum.”

    Then the lady at the front gave me a confused look and said “We don’t treat Possums here.”

    This is true.

    But to be clear, I was talking about people lying about having skills required to perform the job they’re applying for. If you’re in a homeless situation I wouldn’t suggest lying to get into a job you’re incapable of performing unless there’s no other job options. Even if you don’t fail the interview you’ll end up in a job that you’re likely to get fired from.

    That said, there is plenty of stuff that interviewers look for or ask about that has little or no impact on your ability to do the job (gaps in work history, weirdly specific minimum years of experience, etc). That sort of stuff is worth lying about.

    At my current job (software engineer) I’ve had to interview a lot of people. It’s wild how many times I’ve asked a candidate about a skill they list on their resume only for them to completely fail even basic questions.

    Then it gets really awkward when I point to it listed on their resume.

    If you don’t even know the basics then don’t lie about it. If there’s any chance you’ll be asked more advanced questions then don’t lie about it. Save yourself the embarrassment.

    20 minutes of rambling builds up to Jordan Peterson saying he thinks people can comprehend DNA by moving their consciousness down to the micro level. Dawkins just repeats that back baffled. Then before he can even give a proper response, Peterson says: “I have have taken extremely high doses of psilocybin.”

    The best cringe.

    One of my favorite examples of Jordan Peterson stupidity is when he was lecturing about some ancient civilization artwork that showed two serpent creatures creating humanity. He said that because the snakes were drawn in a double helix that this ancient civilization knew about and wanted to represent DNA.

    Snakes coil around one another in a double helix when they mate. The snake creatures in the art were just fucking.
