"Stop underestimating the future value of your current insight.” - Futurist Jim Carroll
--
Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.
--Back in 1989, while I was in the midst of my career crisis that would ultimately see me leave the corporate world and start my own freelance "thing," I obsessed over thinking about what possible value my unique skills might be.
After all, I had gone far from my original professional accounting roots, and was deeply involved in all the merging technology, culturem and opportunities of what was then the emerging Internet. I wasn't on the leading edge - I was somewhere far out ahead of most other people in the world - my skills were so niche, so unique, so narrow that I couldn't think of what possible value they might be to any organization in the world.
Five years later, I had a **#1** national bestselling book, my business was thriving, and I had people begging me to come into their organizations to explain this strange new world - for money.
With all that, I learned a very powerful lesson: one of the hardest things to do in a long-term career is to accurately value what you know. It's still the case for me - when you’ve spent 36 years "putting in the work" (**#16**) and "frequenting the fringes" (**#15**), your intuition becomes so sharp that you often mistake it for common sense.
You assume everyone sees the world the way you do.
They don't.And that might be the most important skill you have - a theme I explore in depth in my upcoming Being Unique book. (It's still in editing!)
In my voyage, I’ve realized that the "Infinite Pivot" isn't just about moving to the next thing. It’s about recognizing the massive value of the distance you’ve already traveled. What takes me five minutes to "see" today took me three decades to learn. What I knew in 1994 that propelled my success forward took me from 1982 to learn.
So what's your value worth? The amateur prices by the hour. The expert prices by the decade.
Own your expertise.
Stop apologizing for your rate.
The value of your insight isn't measured by how long it takes you to say it, but by how much it changes the world for the person who hears it.

A quotation from Bertrand Russell
Almost everybody is deeply affected when some one he loves suffers from cancer. Most people are moved when they see the sufferings of unknown patients in hospitals. Yet when they read that the death-rate from cancer is such-and-such, they are as a rule only moved to momentary personal fear lest they or some one dear to them should acquire the disease. The same is true of war: people think it dreadful when their son or brother is mutilated, but they do not think it a million times as dreadful that a million people should be mutilated. A man who is full of kindliness in all personal dealings may derive his income from incitement to war or from the torture of children in “backward” countries.
All these familiar phenomena are due to the fact that sympathy is not stirred, in most people, by a merely abstract stimulus. A large proportion of the evils in the modern world would cease if this could be remedied.Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Education and the Good Life, Part 1, ch. 2 “The Aims of Education” (1926)More about this quote: wist.info/russell-bertrand/828…

"The distance you travel is decided on your hardest days." - Futurist Jim Carroll
Your worst days will define your best days.
Your biggest mistakes make for your greatest successes.
The moments in which you seem you can barely give it enough will lead you to giving it everything you’ve got.
When it seems everything you are doing can’t make things right, you’ll suddenly find a way.
Those days in which you don’t seem to think you have enough in your tank are quietly recharging your batteries.
Do you sense a theme here?
When I talk about innovation, I constantly point out that the greatest innovators all shared something in common — they failed their way to success.
They got to the top by scraping along the bottom for a time. They only saw wonderful final results after a series of terrible, awful results.
So when those moments of quiet desperation hit, do what everyone has done: pick yourself up, shake it off, and keep moving. because things always come to those who put in the work.
Because the distance you travel is decided on those very days.
(Oh, and before you ask — no, there isn’t anything wrong here! This is just the thought that came to my head as I started my day today!)

I just got called a #Nazi by someone who mentioned me in a post then later deleted it.
So I will call that person a #coward because they can't stand by their convictions the way the Nazis did.
Name calling is so over rated and stupid. Insecure people shouldn't have to be able to influence diversion like this on a constant basis.
this exact response is the reason why centralized platforms target you now.
Here's a fact for you guys.
#Hitlerian ideology existed far longer than the #European attempted #colonization of everything into a #German #Reich which effectively makes #Nazism prone to regional difference, all be it one with the potential #historical #power to have long lasting consequences on the people who at the time, didn't see it coming as satellite states emerged from it.
So let's face it. I'm not #German I'm #Canadian and speak #English and no other #language as such.
For anyone who really wants to know, the term #neonazi exists for people who #self-identify as being simpathetic to Hitlerian doctrine.
I've #studied this extensively, because I think in a lot of ways, we never concluded #WWII completely from the #human #psyche and that is very frustrating to see this #tribal resurgence come back into #living #memory again.
So let's say that the year is 1940 something and not 2020 something. And let's point out the fact, that #National #Communism is an idea that got exported 80 some odd years into the #future to now.
Even if that's the case, the world has changed a lot since that time. And we've gotten stupider as a result of being primarily lazy with our own ambitions.
This is how dumb you guys are for doing this. And I know what you try to #suggest as such. That we are in such a #state of irreparable #disagreement, that this is the best you can come up with to #distance yourself from any sort of wider #context that doesn't fit your #narrative of #people who disagree with you.
So what? Can we not have an honest conversation about a few things without making solutions barred by political disconnectivity? That's exactly what the Nazi's proposed to do accept their solution wasn't just silence, it was death and destruction on a scale that has never truly went away ever since subsequent governments around our world, came into power and upgraded weapons systems continuously while operating elite networks from the shadows. In an effort, to instigate things like the #world #economic #forum and other big #thinktank organizations into a much broader sense of hostility than any of us individually call for as citizens of any and every nation.
I will say it loudly and #proudly as such. I am not someone who wants any group of people to face a premature end of their life on this planet, based on factors that nobody can control. And even if we can, I still want us to live our lives unimpeded by political #violence of any kind. And that includes #faith based groups to get along within #community spaces that do not challenge monomorphic #dominance at every step of the way.
I am disgusted at the #tribalism going on infecting every aspect of a normal #life facing my generation. And to just throw words like this out there, without any existential #planning or forethought on how this entire wretched #ideology can finally meet the dustbin of #history as such, to put it to #rest has no basis in #reality at all.
Look. I'm against people controling my life in ways I don't want them to. But that's true for all of us. So if you're going to name call, just remember that not everyone will take that lying down with a straight face and not move a mustle in the direction of a #fighting stance your way afterward.
I will not react in that manner, because I do put #peace and #prosperity first. And I don't censor people if they have opposing views to my own. But that's me. It's not you, and if you're that much of a coward to the point where you essentially do the same thing, only after you #feel #safe behind a cyber void, all the power to you.
But I bring this up publicly because reputations like this, although they're not supposed to, they actually do effect how highly you rank as a content provider. And on a shared internet, that carries more weight than you might think. Especially in today's toxic divided world where prayer is so much needed more so than ignorance and stupidity, where none can be found.
I don't want to live in a world where people start literally weaponizing eternity over a personal choice of faith. Nor do I want to live in one, where not choosing faith of any kind, let alone mandated ones, will land you as a person who is a continuous victim of statelessness by your actual neighbor in kind.
The Abrahamic religions are a perfect example (one of many in context) that have done more harm to divide people, than any other group in human history combined. And I am not one to book ban, but if those religions want to continue spewing their vile trash all over the place, it's time to set a precedent. But even still, that requires rethinking your approach to lead by example, and not paying attention to the example someone else can't lead by. Which again, makes book banning, the thing the Nazi's did, utterly archaic and barbaric to me
Wake up people. We don't live in a world that's so hard done by, that it can't be repaired. And it starts with refusing to use a tool at your disposal against someone you barely even had words with, because you can, in a way that significantly challenges their right to coexist alongside you.
The only way you'll learn discernment, is by understanding this as a core concept. I have all the tools at my disposal as a server instance owner to really stick it to people if I choose to. But so too does the US government own nuclear weapons to stick it to us if they chose to. And I count my blessings every time I wake up, and we haven't regressed that far into mass destruction to which there is no return. So likewise, because and due to that, I practice discernment out of choice, even when I can legally get away with being a lot harsher. I do not do so out of pity, but out of respect.
So let's take a second and thank the Nazi's for coming into our lives. Not for their ideology, or their vile addiction to power and hatred. But because they taught us, to be better people to not be like them because they failed at suppressing the human spirit.
I don't want to see you pull some shit online you wouldn't in get away with in real life. Not because I want you to be oppressed, but because the more we treat our communities like bridges connecting real people together, the less likely we'll respond to situations with outlandish and stupid methods of containment until and unless we have no other choice but to defend against systematic collapse.
Please know the power of your presence and use it. I don't want to have to be the only one who does. I'm fully aware that I'm not in control of what someone else does. But so long as they're not doing something to you that you wouldn't want, let them be and move on. That's what being responsible gets you in 2026.
I wish I didn't have to spell this out. But honestly, what hurts me more so than the accusation of something that isn't even real. Is that, you use that as a justification to do something that is real, with lasting consequences on not just reputation, but disinterest without a trail of provocation to go along with it. It'd be not unlike setting your neighborhood ablaze because the pizza delivery guy was 5 minutes late.
If this kind of antisocial behaviour isn't course corrected, our 30 something year old generation will be the last to have known the meaning of true freedom as we know it, because people like you, will get more attention by being underhanded, rather than straight up and honest about where we stand. And as such, would force the natural rather than enforced suppression of sudden unpredictability, back where it rightfully belongs. In the could have been moments of our lives, but not in the never were enactments of them.
Or in other words, focusing on the self you become not as a hot headed entity, or a cold calculating monster. But the one in between, that sees both sides, and not just the one you embody because you think it's going to matter to a fault, rather than a cause.
Stay informed, and know you are not alone in caring for the same things I do. History doesn't always get things right, but that's why we talk about it, rather than remaining silent and hoping it goes away on its own.
For some situations, that can happen. But this isn't one of them.
Thank you for all that you are. I appreciate you.

Reading Time: 3 minutesYesterday was cold and grey when I set off on my daily walk/run and my intention was to go up to Cheserex across to Tranchepied and then back down towards Nyon. I had no intention of running a semi-marathon.
The reason for which I ran so far is that I saw dog walkers and their dogs were not leashed. Years ago I was agressed by three dogs, one of them every time we crosssed paths, so now, if I'm alone, and I see a dog, I cross where the field boundary is, and then I continue my walk, run or bike ride.
Dog Walkers and My Running Detours to Avoid Them
It's not that I had a bad phobia of dogs, but that in one situation I was standing, unable to move, as a woman just watched me. She didn't leash the dog, she didn't do anything to help me. Eventually the dog charged me and I began to run. I then had the common sense to stop running and froze. After this incident my phobia of dogs, when walking alone was radical.
I never, ever, ever want to be so close to being mauled again. That's why I backtrack as soon as I see dogs in the distance and find another route.
It's relevant to how I ran my first semi-marathon. If the dog walkers hadn't been on the path between Cheserex and Tranche-Pied I would not have taken a detour, and if I had not seen a crowd walking around Tranche-Pied, then I would have headed down, and my run would have been short.
It's thanks to those dogs I saw that I took a détour. It's thanks to those people that I didn't head home. It's thanks to these people that I decided to try running to Divonne, and then I ran towards Céligny, and from Céligny towards Eysins. Without the dogs I'd have had a long run, but not this long.
A Cycling Route
I know of the connections between La Rippe and Divonne through cycling with two or three groups. It is by cycling with them that I discovered these alternative, lower traffic paths. They're good to know about because you can run, and cycle, without roads and cars for quite a distance.
A Slight surprise
When I ran from La Rippe to Divonne I was surprised to come out where I did. I came out right by the voie verte. From there I could have easily run to Crassier, and then back home, rather than run along the Lac de Divonne before crossing the border and towards Bogis Bossey and Céligny.
Through the Fields or through the Villages
I considered whether to run down to Céligny and then along the roads to Crans and then back up but chose not to run that route because of dog walkers. Dog walkers are just as likely on the route I did run but I could usually see them from a distance so I could easily avoid them.
In the end the route was perfect to achieve a 21km loop, with minimal walking to get home, at the end of the run.
Two Changes
When I run this distance again I will make sure to have fuel with me, in the form of either energy gels or the haribo style fruit things. I did this 21km run without water and without any fuel. The reason for this is that I had no intention of beating my distance record. It was a fluke occurence. I'm proud of this achievement but I will take a day or two to rest and recover. I don't want to end up injured.
And Finally
If I had run just 6km I would have reached the 100km mark, so far this year. By overshooting like I did I achieved two notable things. Furthest distance, and most running in a week.
I suspect that running in Spain, on those steep gradients, really helped me to get better at running in switzerland.
At this time I do not plan to attempt a marathon. I plan to do a few shorter runs. I don't want to overdo it.

Five Ten Kilometre Runs Later
Reading Time: 3 minutesRecently I ran with the goal of getting above the fog and I succeeded. The result was a 16km run. Since then I have run ten kilometre runs four more times. In the process I have shifted from not seeing myself to seeing myself as more of a runner than before.
Last year I couldn't run five hundred to eight hundred meters without my knees hurting. Instead of trying to run far I just tried to run as far as I could before I felt pain, and then stopped. With time and persistence I was able to run further and further.
The 5K plateau
For a while I reached a plateau at 5km. I didn't run to run further out of fear that I would overdo it. Through this thought process and logic I gave my body time to adapt to running. I gave muscles, ligaments time to get used to the sport. Now I am seeing the reward.
Seasonal
Over the summer months I was really enjoying group bike rides but as the relaxed groups stopped for the winter season, so I had to ride with harder groups. It's not that I can't keep up, but that keeping up exhausts me. When I rode with the Saturday group two weekends in a row I ended up exhausted and I didn't enjoy it.
I like to cycle, but I don't like to race. I want to ride comfortably, and when I start to fade, it would be nice if the group slowed down a little.
As I write this, the relaxed groups are not relaxed either. They also enjoy riding hard, but at least there is a break during which to recover, in theory.
The Running Advantage
Although I run solo at the moment, now that I can run 5k consistently it is worth considering joining running groups. In effect I have opened a new sporting door.
An Example of Running Freedom
Yesterday people were meeting at the Nyon Skating rink and I had the opportunity to run there, rather than walk. I was thinking of running via the Port de Crans and then back towards Nyon but chose instead to go via the route that took me towards the Aérodrome de Prangins and then back towards Nyon via the lake.
I ran 12km and arrived to the skating rink before some of the others. There was one slight error in judgement. As the group that I had run to meet were not all there at once I spent time in the cold.
I was dressed for running, not standing. I got so cold that my fingers were tingling. If I ran this again I would take a thicker jacket with me, to wear once I stopped, as well as a thicker hat.
I had planned to run, say hello, and then walk home, but as the group arrived later than anticipated I got cold.
The irony is that when I was running it was warm enough to open up the layers in places. It's when I got to the giant block of ice, and with the lake of ice, that I cooled down.
Hot chocolate didn't help as much as I had hoped.
And Finally
Now that I can run 10km at a time I can run the routes I used to walk. Instead of devoting two hours to a day's walk I can devote an hour, and by spending an hour on a walk I gain 40 minutes to do something else. It also gives me the freedom to run from Nyon to Gland instead of catching the train, or other towns and villages.
It's because I feel no pain or ill effects that I now feel comfortable running 10km, rather than five. We will see how far I run by the end of summer.
