Few weeks ago we collected your questions and now is time for some answers. So here we go! @ question by Jan Špaček
Don't go outside, pay attention to the inside. What if you were offered that Gordon Ramsay comes and looks into your life? The ruthless critic of all culinary imperfections.
Moses and our lock-down - "Let my people go home"
We no longer perceive work as slavery, servitude, humiliation, even though this was once the case...
What do you think would be worse? Virus attacking our complex technology network? Or virus attacking our health and society?
Why people believe in conspiracy theories? Where is a line between conspiracy theory and religion?
Is the Economy naked? What Monopoly teaches us about the economy?
Those are questions for a new episode of CzechMate.
What do you imagine under term "critical thinking"? Are stars really above your head?
Listen to the new episode of CzechMate.
Will machines not just work instead of us, but desire instead of us as well? Will algorithm be able to know you better than your mum?
Listen to the new opisode of my podcast CzechMate.
How 16 yo teenager becomes the centre of the World Economic Forum? Does Trump, in his own way, agree with Greta?
Listen to the new episode of CzechMate.
Leave or not to leave? That's the question that Great Britain already answered. What will be next? How is this situation similar to though experiment of Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger?
Listen to the new episode of CzechMate and learn more.
Why we need democracy? What's the difference between monetary and fiscal politics? Why is collective decision sometimes difficult? Listen to more in todays CzechMate.
- I would like to pay a tribute to Ivan Kral, the Czech a guitarist and producer who has worked with Patti Smith, Blondie and Iggy Pop, who has died on 2. February 2020. May he rest in peace.
Thanks to my teenage son, I sometimes manage to get into the secrets of the young generation's language. Once, when he described a situation to me, he inadvertently said that certain complications led to a meeting with one friend "IRL". He was surprised when I asked what IRL is?
Find out more.
How many times have you used or heard the term "nineties" in the last month? I bet a couple of times you certainly did. We recall the 1990s as a common reference point. When you say the 90s, it has its color, patina, atmosphere ... A term that works well, and therefore often.
