I'll notice it when I'm working with somebody else on a reference process or on a given human decision. And I'm like, I feel no need to make up my mind. There's all this evidence on both sides on X. It would be useful to make up my mind. It's like, I'll just keep eating the grass over here and then I'll go over here. It can be maddening for people who are working with me.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It probably makes me frustrating to work with at times. But then I think friends would say like, then I can act very decisively. much faster than they would think when it lines up.

A metaphor that Sam Harris uses when you're trying to get someone to understand the non-dual perspective is And his point is just that if you and I were looking out this window and there was a very strong reflection, but you were focused on the building outside, that using language to get you to see the reflection is very hard. And I like it in the hiring context because...

I think many people are blind to the way that they're creating the interaction themselves with the other person. And so if you're interviewing somebody, the example I use in my essay is like, if you're interviewing somebody and you're nervous and holding your breath yourself, often they will start to do that. And then you experience them as nervous, but actually you are the prime mover on that.

That's why references using the interview is just one piece. And then what's so hard is The interview is so vivid in your mind, you're inclined to really weight it. But the reality is if you can do really good references, then you can control for the fact that you've created the other person.

We've talked earlier about containers and how different the reality is in each container. And I think of the water as they're making sense of reality based on their lived experience within a given field and within a given company. And you don't want to take somebody out of reality. water that's working really well and just assume it applies somewhere else.

And trying to think of an example, if you were working at Goldman Sachs in the 90s, there was a certain way of doing business That if you took that person out, somebody who's extremely commercial and extremely successful, and you put them in a different firm with a different style of doing business, they could be seen as super sharp elbowed or super something.

And just being conscious of how different it is moving from container to container. And they aren't necessarily aware. They will not control for that themselves. So you have to control for it.
