  • Indigenous

    Dear Jim Power, you had a minister Peter Burke on a Special podcast lately who used the government predetermined term for the Irish specific part of the Economy as the indigenous economy not the Irish SME or Irish small businesses. It was a deliberate term used by the minister to refer to the Irish population as indigenous as opposed to National or main inhabitants of Our country Ireland. A lovely move to start to call us Irish Indigenous as possibly the Aboriginal peoples in Australia or Native... more

  • TDS!!

    I’ve been listening to The Other Hand podcast since launch and of late it’s becoming extremely more difficult to continue listening seriously to both Jim & Chris. They have truly moved away from the economics of Ireland and occasionally the UK. They really are suffering from Trump derangement syndrome TDS and can’t see past it. On their latest podcast they both blatantly and lazily mentioned Joe Rogan as having Trump on his podcast on several occasions actually it’s only once and stating Rogan i... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is Trump just another mad mullah?
Q: Is America on the verge of civil war?
I have mixed feelings on it, Chris... there's a lot of Americans who are very decent people and who certainly do not abide what the Trump administration has been doing over the last 12 months.
Is Trump just another mad mullah?
Q: In terms of a nation state murdering its own citizens, do you think there's a difference between killing one citizen, murdering one citizen on the streets, and killing 3,000?
No, I don't actually. I think the principle is the very, very same.
'A numbed & dumbed generation'. Is it too late to regulate tech? Or is it now too big to fail?
Q: Do you believe in regulation of AI?
Yes, there should be regulation similar to drug regulation to ensure safe and beneficial use of AI applications, especially for younger audiences.
'A numbed & dumbed generation'. Is it too late to regulate tech? Or is it now too big to fail?
Q: What are the long-term implications of the inability of young people to learn to think and be creative?
Young people may develop unresolved trauma and difficulty in processing emotions, leading to reliance on AI for emotional needs instead of human relationships, which can be detrimental to society.
'A numbed & dumbed generation'. Is it too late to regulate tech? Or is it now too big to fail?
Q: How do you view the whole world of AI at the moment?
There are different levels to consider: the chips and market circularity, AI applications we use, and the long-term societal impacts, including the numbing and dumbing of individuals due to over-reliance on technology.
