About this listen

You know how algorithms already try to make hiring fair, filtering resumes to remove human bias. A logical goal. But what happens when that logic takes over completely?

Imagine your next job interview isn't a conversation. Instead, you walk a 'Confidence Path' while sensors analyze your heartbeat, your micro-expressions, your authenticity. What does a system like that do with a flicker of raw, messy honesty it wasn't programmed to expect?

The following narrative is a thought experiment that walks that very path, exploring a world where your most human flaw might just be your most valuable asset.

This is Even the Machine Gets a Cushion.
