Besides the obvious comment about never actually thinking, I thought it might have been the employment of an avant-garde architect with limitless budget, by people with a grandiose idea of their own self-importance, that created the "thinking pods".
Other than that, it's not entirely clear to me why politicians elected to do stuff in Scotland, specifically, should have too much interest in a spinning globe..... after all, it's not as though Scotland actually matters much on a world stage.
