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.
Is this peach also full of bugs?
That’s Dale Earnhardt a NASCAR driver that died in 2001 in a crash while racing.
I don’t know why he’s popping up in memes now though.
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.
That’s hilarious! I had no idea there was more to this. Thanks for sharing.
Now I gotta track down Rogan and Peterson talking about Dawkins.
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.

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.
