I was like "can I go through the slide?" (thinking about the YOSPOS story) and our account exec was like "heck yeah, do you want me to take a photo of you doing it?" and I said "no, absolutely not" totally stonefaced.

That seems like an incredibly stupid waste of money. My office has three things that could make it conceivably 'whacky' when compared to any other standard office environment. -It's an architecture firm so the layout is a bit mad. lots of open areas with massive tables. -We have hats from all over the world decorating the walls for some reason, haven't plucked up the courage to ask why they are there yet though. -We have a custom pool table that gets used on occasion.

Google Co-Founder Says People Shouldn't Have to Work So Much "If you really think about the things you need to make yourself happy -- housing, security, opportunity for your kids ... it's not that hard for us to provide those things," Page said. "The idea that everyone needs to work frantically to meet peoples' needs is not true." Page said the world should be living in a "time of abundance" in which robots and machines could help meet everyone's basic needs much more easily. Brin said he had to "quibble a little bit" with his colleague's vision for future employment. taken verbatim from Zeitgeist: Addendum

It is true though. We live in an age of abundance. Half the planet could not have to work and still easily be provided for. Automation multiplies the labour one man can do (humans still needed to maintain, just less). Unskilled labour can be replaced by machine and the displaced labour can be provided an equivalent living wage from the excess profits made from that new, efficient system. Some people might sit on their asses and do nothing in their lives. Oh well, id bet they end up a minority.

small wok weeks and poo poo would work if the world wasn't already in a totally hosed place how many hours are worked by the collective poor just so half their pay can go on rent and directly into the pockets of the already wealthy? its like so many people work at energy factories making energy to fuel the escalators of life which move in the opposite direction you're going, which exist in the first place to give you a job to do
