BURNOUT: Out of Office. My latest piece looks at how burnout is NOT being overworked, but rather the loss of internal meaning when your world is driven excessively by external pressures! Which has obvious implications for how we treat it, and how badly its recovery is

“At some point, somebody somewhere should have asked what the underlying mechanisms of failure are; the unseen seams in the State that keep producing outcomes in which responsibility dissolves and innocent people pay the price.” #ZeroVision #RoadSafety #ThoughtsPrayers

‘Ireland relies on PR campaigns urging drivers to “be careful” as though caution alone could compensate for roads engineered without safety margins’ This same system seems to require walkers & cyclists to glow in order to be safe 🤦♂️ https://t.co/Lb0DIFdUUz

Ireland is one of few European countries where road deaths are rising consistently, yet no one is responsible

Government have spent billions through #VisionZero & have failed to do the basics Automatic Cameras ❌ Reduce urban road speeds ❌ Fix the GDPR statistics issue ❌ Expand the Garda RPU ❌ Introduce driver CPD courses ❌ Update DMURS ❌ It’s a political choice!!

A great piece I read: VC is splitting: “Big Venture” fuses with state power, mid-tier funds get squeezed into irrelevance, and the only real frontier left is the small, weird, fragile edges where new international micro-funds can actually see the opportunities legacy VCs can’t.
Honey, we need to talk about Venture Capital… And the fact that VC isn’t taking risks anymore (but it is writing the laws that remove risks!) My latest on how Big Venture fused with the state to create a “venture–industrial complex” that builds certainty (and power!), not

My latest. I am so angry that we continue to choose road deaths over road reforms. Every motor death is a policy choice, and my local community has been ravaged by this for too long. It’s time to introduce accountability!

Awesome post by @SineadOS1 on what has happened to venture. Shocking not many others understand it. (I mean @pmarca openly states that they optimize for power). We're pushing the frontier, but how far can it really stretch? https://t.co/lbiHGeBUsB

Simon Harris is about as suitable as Minister for Finance as he would be displacing Caoimhin Kelleher as Irish soccer goalkeeper. @SineadOS1 says all the obvious things. But they are none the less true for saying them. It’s a ridiculous appointment and one that Harris himself

Finance is not a ministry one ‘figures out’ over time. It requires deep fluency in how capital moves, how complex systems behave, how shocks propagate and how a small open economy survives

In which a girl from Armagh with a Harvard MBA writes about a girl from Sion Mills with a Stanford MBA. "To belabor this point: “Backstop” is not the language of innovation or R&D; it is used only when shit-hits-fans and you’re living in the world of crisis management. And
My latest: B is for Bailout: The $500 billion Freudian slip. Are we entering the AI shadow banking bailout era, à la 2008? But will OpenAI's rescue be bigger? Perhaps, yes! Consider that OpenAI's valuation is already 2/3 of the ENTIRE 2008 bailout (tarp) that stabilized the
