My old doctor used to be one (for Glasgow Celtic). He nearly killed my brother when he misdiagnosed pneumonia. Still he was great with sore feet.

Having grown up in Glasgow, I saw my first 'Glasgow Smile' in years recentlyβ€”a guy delivering 'freedom' (prison) bread. I'd forgotten that they were once a common (ish) site.

Maybe not head of finance or marketing or IT or any other specialty β€” but anyone, even a forklift driver, could be a good CEO.

s/s from Financial Times article in link

Al could end scarcity, end humanity - or boost trend growth by 0.2 percentage points

Graph of US real GDP per capita (1990 $), log scale

Real GDP per capita Trend, 1870-2024

Plot of line showing a gradual increase at 45Β° angle over time 

1. central forecast was that AI might boost the trend growth of US GDP per capita to 2.1 per cent for 10 years from now (basically continuing existing trend)

2. Optimistic forecast for a Tech singularity: end of scarcity.
Rapid increase, almost straight up from GDP per capita from $45K to $500K

3. Negative forecast for a Tech singularity: human extinction.
Rapid decline, almost straight down to zero.

Source: Wynne & Derr, 'Advances in Al will boost productivity, living standards over time' (Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, 2025).
Trend 1870-20241.9% pa. Al-boosted path = 2.1% for ten years, then trend

Don't forget to charge for thinking time, paid time off, time your main business might lose from you, sickness, having to redo things after feedback.

Price for the lifestyle you deserve, not the one you have.

If in doubt, watch this :D

So tired, hassled parents trying to herd children and get to work on time are pricks. Err … okay.

The other two can go fuck themselves, obvs.

I would add the police. Screeching to a halt on a corner, siren blaring, so they can pick up a kebab is surely a reason to be called a prick.

I'm 100% 24 hr clock, but I still mix up anything between 2pm/14:00 and 6pm/18:00.

Was that a six or a four? A two or a four? Nope, can't remember.

Scottish Country Dancing was one of the most useful skills I was taught at school. It was a nightmare having to hold a girl's hand when I was 10, but little did I know how much fun it would be when I was in my 20s.
