Produktivní, bohatí, pracující z pláže. Tak si spisovatelé před 50 lety představovali dnešní zaměstnance
Když v roce 1964 předpověděl britský spisovatel a vynálezce Arthur C. Clarke, že v budoucnu budeme moci kontaktovat naše přátele kdekoliv na světě, nehledě na místo, kde se nacházejí, muselo to znít bláznivě. Stejně jako jím popisovaná možnost pracovat z jakéhokoliv místa na planetě. „Pro člověka bude stejně jednoduché podnikat z Tahiti nebo Bali jako z Londýna,“ tvrdil Clarke. Jeho předpovědi se ale díky internetu splnily téměř do puntíku.

Equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington, Glasgow
The equestrian Wellington Statue is a statue of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, located on Royal Exchange Square in Glasgow, Scotland. It is located outside the Gallery of Modern Art near the end of Ingram Street. The statue was sculpted by Italian artist Carlo Marochetti and erected in 1844. Capping the statue with a traffic cone has become a traditional practice in the city, claimed to represent the humour of the local population and believed to date back to the first half of the 1980s, if not before. The statue is a Category-A listed monument, and is one of Glasgow's most iconic landmarks. Due to minor damage and the potential for injury that the placing of cones involves, the practice has been discouraged by Glasgow City Council and Strathclyde Police. In 2011 the Lonely Planet guide included the statue in its list of the "top 10 most bizarre monuments on Earth." History In a bid to reduce the cost of removing traffic cones from the statue, alleged to be £10,000 a year, Glasgow City Council put forward plans in November 2013 to double the height of its plinth as part of a £65,000 restoration...

Column: This is what happens when you take Ayn Rand seriously
The core of Ayn Rand's philosophy is that unfettered self-interest is good and altruism is destructive. So what if we indeed allowed ourselves to be blinded to all but our own self-interest?

I always found it revolting that the Christian God told humans not to eat from the tree of knowledge. Fuck that. What a bullshit premise to deal with the world.
