The book, about hiring, that Bryan refers to (cue time 55:00) is: The Blackwell Handbook of Principles of
Organizational Behaviour,
Edited by: Edwin A. Locke (2003 and later editions). As Bryan mentions, Chapter 1 is about hiring on intelligence, chapter 2 is about hiring on personality. Bryan misremembers the title of the book. "Handbook of Employee Hiring" -- the title that Bryan mentions -- is a different textbook in the field. (I post this info in case other listeners, like me, want to follow up on Bryan's bibliographical pointer.)

Denial of free will is self contradiction! If you deny free will, I ask "By what process did you come to that (or any) decision? The only logically consistent answer: "I don't know. My mind was compelled to believe it by the motion of atoms starting from the big bang".

I was not expecting you either to be Brazilian nor a volleyball fan. It is our second sport indeed. Sick.
