@zarinahagnew @collect_intel @audreyt @saffronhuang @divyasiddarth @JoalStein SO happy for you 🙌

[Louise Doherty @louisedoherty]

@jonnym1ller @neuranne @chargrysolle Jonny’s tip def works - I recommend this to founders daily.

I also invented a protocol I call journalitation, helpful for busy brains:

1. Meditate until you notice thoughts
2. Journal until no thoughts arise
3. Meditate until thoughts, journal until no thoughts etc

Enjoy!

People like to talk about how tech will affect society, but they rarely want to do the fieldwork to back it up. Spend a (part-time) year in London exploring first-hand how AI etc are affecting civic groups: https://t.co/UJJGD3cXeK, plus there'll probably be an election too!

[Edward Saperia @edsaperia]

Now accepting applicants for the 2022-23 residential cohort at Newspeak House! If you want to spend a year exploring in detail how technology affects civic, political and public sector communities in the UK, you should apply!! It’s going to be a crazy year, with AI and everything

@JLBornstein Come back to Fey, and surrender!

[Louise Doherty @louisedoherty]

I have a last minute spot available for a 1:1 exec coaching intensive next week - just outside Paris.

It includes blindspot analysis, hot/cold therapy for peak personal resilience, and a drug-free psychedelic experience.

Not your average exec coaching!

@jonnym1ller I recommend your course at least once a week! Happy to see it thriving 🙌

[Louise Doherty @louisedoherty]

Sat next to 3 Lords (2x Lab + 1 LD) on the Eurostar last week.

We chatted NHS/HoL reform, plus Citizens Assemblies.

They dismissed the latter as unworkable bc "the public are not experts" - but Paris is showing that could actually be a good thing

@alicepelton This is extremely real and not something I’ve seen discussed before 💔

[Louise Doherty @louisedoherty]

@Eurostar I've tried email, phone and Twitter DM to get help with an error on a trip leaving on Friday. It's not possible to make the change online. Please help! Details in your DM+inbox

[Louise Doherty @louisedoherty]

@JLBornstein Indeed. But would suffering mean the same thing to an AI as to a human?

(Also, does meaning always result in attachment?)

[Louise Doherty @louisedoherty]

Our systems of innovation are broken. We all lose when our future is crafted by a tiny, homogenous group.

I raised $1m for my startup and experienced the shocking gender bias in VC, but that’s only one part of problem.

Finally, something to send ppl to see the full picture 🙌

✨ We’re thrilled to announce the release of “Better Venture” by @ErikaBrodnock and @JFLenhard, a first-of-its-kind guide to diversity and inclusion in startups and venture capital. 🧵

If Twitter dies I hope it sparks better convos about tech platforms in society: algorithmic transparency/justice, ownership models, digital public infrastructure.

I know about these things only from following world class experts on Twitter.

It’s so sad, but I live in hope 💙

[Louise Doherty @louisedoherty]

@public_culture_ Breathwork: 4-7-8, physiological sigh, conscious connected. I teach 1:1, Susan Obari does groups. Sound baths at Zen & Sounds.

They’ll give immediate but not lasting calm. For that, you need to excavate the belief system that props stress up.

It’s so worth it - bon courage!

[Louise Doherty @louisedoherty]

This is why I believe in building systems of resiliency: capacity building in myself and community as a hedge against omnicrises.

Long term thinking is useful to inform which capacities to build, but paternalistic longtermism creates an end that blinds many to destructive means.

[Jake @JLBornstein]

This is exactly right @tylercowen

In the face of complexity (esp over longer time horizons), invest in capacities, not predictions

Starting w the capacity for applied humility

[Louise Doherty @louisedoherty]

@tedcooke Humility or humanity?

[Louise Doherty @louisedoherty]

@TheAnnaGat Come to Chateau du Fey. Ephemeral community, fireside from Nov - March. Cottage option for solo time with nearby ideation/conversation/murderer-repellers https://t.co/aKZe82ekFT

[Louise Doherty @louisedoherty]

@jonnym1ller Thank *you*. I’d already spent a year learning about my nervous system before I took your course, and I still found it really useful!

It was also the catalyst for me to train as a conscious connected breathwork teacher too.

One happy customer cheering your success from afar!

[Louise Doherty @louisedoherty]

My life has two chapters: before understanding my nervous system, and after.

Before: adrenaline overload, always on, productivity optimiser, body disassociation, no idea of what I really needed

After: resilience, agency, confidence, peace

This course will change your life 🙌

"[Burnout] is fueled by passion, a sense of urgency, and the satisfaction of building solutions for real problems. But that sense of mission can be overwhelming without the right support."

Purpose-driven ppl #burnout precisely bc they care, unless they learn personal resilience

[Melissa Heikkilä @Melissahei]

“The only mechanism that big tech companies have to handle the reality of this is to ignore the reality of it.”
This felt like a really important story to tell. Thank you so much @mmitchell_ai @ruchowdh @atg_abhishek and others for speaking with me. https://t.co/f1EoxLlyp5
