Political correctness: making life miserable since the 90's
But this is not the point here. We're talking about building rapport with the interviewer and passing the image of a friendly and trustworthy person. Not according to society's or the company's measures, but thinking about the interviewer only.

functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success."

Even in an interview, you're judged more by your personality than by your skills. If they like you, you're in.
The interviewer is human.

hey that looks like a good test.
I don't see what's this discrimination you talk about.
What kind of employee would you prefer? Someone with a great curriculum but a sociopath, or someone with an average curriculum but a pleasant personality?
Learn to think by yourself...

when MK copies Tekken... inevitable failure
the game is slow and repetitive, just like Tekken
and on top of that, this GBA port adds ridiculous graphics to it
must vote no

I don't want to interrupt your interseting debate on how to apply fantasy to real life
so here's a very quick picture

Haven't you learned yet... when a figure of authority says something, the fact does not need to be true. It only needs to be plausible.
The more important the person is, the less plausible he/she needs to be.
(that person has never lied to you before.. why would that be the case now?)

Let's discuss the bible then!
Link to video
but yeah, I know..
The bible does not mean what it says. We just lack prophetic eyes or something.
WE KNOW IT'S ALL ABOUT THE LOVE!

Those things are considered myths because as you can see in the video they aren't exactly what is being told. The details about them aren't clearly defined. The media intentionally makes them vague.
Every person's imagination takes care of filling in all the gaps.
It's like horoscope... here's part of mine (Aries), that I've just googled:
(...)Everyone has a voice and they won't be afraid to use it. Make sure that you speak up on your behalf or your best interests may be lost. Stand up for yourself. It's now or never.
Can you see it? They're not telling my name, or what are these "best interests" that I may lose, but it may still make sense to me
This kind of ambiguous suggestion can work with 99% of the people, 99% of the time. It may even fit your present situation.
This is what the dominant class talk is all about.

There is a ruling "class".
You didn't present any evidence. You just don't accept it because the idea goes against your estabilished opinions. It does not make sense for you.
School == education. You learn specific knowledge, so you can be an obedient member of society. And not much beyond that.
quoting something I read,
"Education is slavery. Education enchains the mind and makes it a resource for class power. "
I"ll paste this again:
REASON IS EASILY OVERRULED BY IMAGINATION
You're not controlling your life until you understand that basic concept.

Secondly, the video says that it promotes critical thinking and then tries to force feed us it's own ideologies. Of course we're going to be resistant to that sort of thing.
I don't remember hearing the guy say "believe me! I never lie".
The ideas presented in the video are simply the tip of the iceberg. It's just to show how ignorant people are.
If you disagree with something, fine. Just don't do it only because the idea is not congruent with your view of the world.
The message I see on the video is: you're human and subject to influence. And you'll always be.
Critical thinking is definitely not as easy as you think.
We live in a very complex world. In order to keep our sanity, our brain develops certain patterns of behaviour, certain shortcuts.
Once we're taught how to deal with something, we accept it as true and tend do it automatically for the rest of our life. Since we don't have to think about it, we can spend that precious time in other activities.
And of course, that technique can be and is being used against you.

Ideologies.
Opinions.
Beliefs.
Cultures.
Independent news.
HERP.
DERP.
You're always so unpredictable.
I wonder if someday people will wake up and see reality as it is...
...or are they gonna spend what's left of their so "precious, unique and irreplaceable existence" (lulz) believing they're rational creatures.

Episode 1: Exposing the noble lie
What You've Been Missing was created to fill the massive gap created by corporate media, between itself and reality.
A virtual variety show with a point, WYBM helps you learn how to outgrow the status quo; through a systematic process of critical thinking supplemented with comedy.

Scepheo, maybe you can imagine... but you're able criticize and filter it as impossible and incoherent.
Religious people receive that same info through metaphors and other persuasion tricks, bypassing the limits imposed by critical thinking.
They are told several different stories, all based upon the existence of a god.
The stories are catchy and very unusual, so while their conscious mind is lost in the fantasy, the idea of a personal god silently grows stronger and stronger.
If you make people focus on a single thought or idea hard enough, it will eventually become real for them.
