Drop Your Tools – Does Expertise Have a Dark Side? [video] (youtube.com)

Starts with a building collapse, goes into a smoke jumper tragedy, the discovery of a new fire safety tool (spoiler: more fire) and ends with talk about Priming (psychology) and the ways that our experiences can trap us into struggling to reason out problems (which are often obvious in hindsight or with distance).

It even speculates about why you have your best ideas in the shower.

YouTube suggestion following the “What Unix Cost Us” video that was posted yesterday.
