They're pretty smart too
Their problem is that they're trapped underwater
There's even a species that catches fish to ride on their backs for fun lol
Hyper intelligent crows.
Hyper intelligent trilobites
Hyper intelligent potatoes.

This is something that needs to be said: There is NEVER such a thing as "two equally qualified candidates." There is ALWAYS someone who is more qualified, even if it's just marginally.
Maybe someone has an extra three weeks of work experience, or scored two points higher out of a thousand on a "relevant knowledge" test. There are NEVER equally qualified workers. Ever.
If they're coming up with identical scores, then test more. Eventually one will come out ahead.
Yeah but their CV is unlikely to go into that exact detail level
And also whypipo bad guise
That's why I'd strongly prefer a blind hiring system, where you can't discriminate on race because you don't even know who the fuck you're looking at.
All you know is "College Degree X" with "Y GPA" and "Z score" on some skills test to filter out the chaff.
Or maybe it's the kind of job where people can submit a portfolio of prior work, so you can judge people on that.
There still have to be interviews
To do those tests
Most interviewers, from what I've read, don't actually know what the fuck they're doing. Instead of hiring the best people for the job they just hire whoever is the best at bullshitting the interviewer.
Effectively, like the American voter they end up hiring the person they'd want to have a beer with instead of the person who is legitimately most suited for the job.
Given that, most companies would be better off if they fired the HR department and rented out a classroom in some local high school to have prospective hires take a pen and paper test. Whoever gets the best scores gets the job.
You'd probably end up with better workers, far more so than if you trusted an interviewer to do the job for you.
Huffpost
I don't trust voters, and I don't trust HR departments.
What I trust is an unbiased, objective performance metric. Even if it's just a knowledge test. At the very least you're selecting for people who are willing to study intensively in an effort to get the job they want.
Someone that's willing to spend 10+ hours cramming for a firefighter's exam is probably more qualified than some jackass from the local community college. If you're worried about physical abilities, then have them take a physical test too and add that to their overall score.
Accurately reading polls is like shooting a shotgun.
Stupid?
You get a spread around different places but a pretty consistent spread at a target
Also, accuracy goes to shit when you're far away.
Except for the 2016 election
True
Where they were shooting blindfolded
the polls were pretty accurate for the 2016 election
>99% hillary
they were just interpreted in a retarded manner
The problem with the 2016 election is they started shaming everyone for supporting Trump, so a ton of them either didn't answer the pollsters or they lied and said they were a Hillary voter.
Yep true
the polls leading up to the election had hillary leading the popular vote by about 3%
Same case in Sweden
and she won the popular vote by about 2%
very close
it is just that the results of the polls were interpreted incorrectly
The Swedish Nationalist Party polls lower but gets way more votes than what the polls predict
