I discovered anti-#Zionism at the #UniversityOfMichigan. I'm glad it lives on there
A controversial speech conveyed essential lessons for all #Jews
https://forward.com/opinion/824062/university-of-michigan-derek-peterson-anti-zionism/from #TheForward #Forward
[#Jewish publication from #USA]
May 8, 2026At the U. of #Michigan’s recent commencement ceremony, history professor Derek Peterson delivered a 5-minute speech in which he celebrated all those who have fought for justice at the university, my alma mater. Invoking our legendary fight song, he asked the crowd to “sing” for suffragist Sarah Burger, who battled to get #women admitted as students; for Moritz Levi, UM's first #Jewish professor; for all the students who fought for #RacialJustice at #UM as part of the Black Action Movement; and for the “pro-#Palestinian student activists, who have over these past two years opened our hearts to the injustice and inhumanity of #Israel’s war in #Gaza.”

"You don't pivot back to who you were. You pivot to who you've become."- 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.
--Most failed pivots aren't pivots to the wrong future.
They're pivots to a future that no longer exists.
I've been writing about this idea for years, in one form or another. Back in 2022, I framed it this way: "Confront today as it is, not as you want it to be, but face tomorrow as you want it to be, rather than just accepting it for what it might be!" In another post, I put it more bluntly: "Don't chase the reality you want. Create the reality you can pursue." I've long recognized that when it comes to reinvent yuorself for the next opportunity, you need to adapt to new realities, not existing ones.
Earlier this year, when Mark Carney stood up at Davos and said, "We actively take on the world as it is, not wait around for a world we wish to be," he was saying the same thing. I knew immediately why that line landed globally and drew so much attention. He's repeating this idea everywhere he goes, stating it again pretty clearly at a global summit in Armenia. The dude must be following me. (-;
And yet, it captured something most leaders, most companies, and most individuals quietly refuse to do.
They want to pivot, but only to a future they already imagined.
They want the past to come back, just rearranged.
They want their old career, with a fresh coat of paint.
That's not a pivot.
That's nostalgia in a different outfit.
Here's what I've learned the hard way: the future will not negotiate with your desires and wants. It doesn't care about your plans, your nostalgia, your investment in who you used to be. The future shows up as it is, sometimes brutal, sometimes accelerated, and often inconvenient.
You either align with it, or you don't.
In a fast-evolving future, keep in mind you can rarely pivot back to who you were. You pivot to who you've become.
Take on the future as it is. Work towards the outcome from where you actually are. Build the strength required for what's next, not the strength you used to have.
Because the only pivot that ever works is the one made from reality.

Futurist Jim Carroll believes that most people need a reality check when they are trying to reinvent themselves.

"Regret is far more expensive than failure" - 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.
--Most people and organizations are paralyzed by a single, haunting question: "What if I fail?"
They spend months (sometimes years) conducting risk assessments and feasibility studies, all designed to protect themselves from the sting of a mistake. They personally try to avoid risk, or in the case of companies, have entire risk management teams, whose goal is to minimize and eliminate risk. They insulate themselves from bold moves because they cannot bear to see things go wrong.
And in doing so, they miss out on a lot of opportunity - and come to regret it later.
What's worse? Trying to do something and seeing it go wrong? Or thinking back years later, "I should have tried to do it!"
In my own 36-year voyage, I’ve learned that the most dangerous risk isn't the pivot that goes wrong: it's the pivot that never happens. We need to stop obsessing over the cost of a "miss" and start focusing on the only question that truly matters: "What if I never try at all?"
Think of it this way: failure is a temporary setback but a valuable asset. You can learn from it, adjust, and pivot again. But the idea of never trying at all results in a permanent loss of potential. You don't learn and become stuck where you are, missing out on the chance to go where you should be going.
I’ve sat in boardrooms with legacy companies that are now obsolete, not because they made a bad bet, but because they were too afraid to place a bet at all. They chose the "safety" of the status quo, only to find that the status quo had moved on without them.
The Infinite Pivot isn't about being fearless; it’s about being more afraid of standing still than you are of moving forward. When you look back at your career or your company’s history a decade from now, you won't remember the small stumbles.
You will only remember the doors you were too scared to open.
Remember: the risk of the unknown is manageable.
But the cost of "what if" or "if only" is infinite.

"Anyone can find an excuse to stand still. Make it your life's work to find the reasons to move." - Futurist Jim Carroll
As a species, it seems we are engineered to stand still (or move back) rather than forward.
I was thinking about that yesterday — how easy it is to make excuses to avoid taking action.
I certainly do this, even though I often feature this issue when I’m speaking to my clients about innovation.
Right now, I’ve spent a few weeks — literally — getting ready to launch another blog series. This one is called: “36 LESSONS: THE ART OF THE INFINITE CAREER PIVOT.” It’s based on a list I wrote last November on the 35th anniversary of leaving the corporate workforce, starting my own company, and working from home.
I didn't write it beyond the original list. Other projects got in the way; client projects surfaced; I kept looking for the right design for the daily posts as well as the website that would go with it; my spinal injury intervened; and most importantly, family time, including with my new grandson, took over.
And over the last few months, I’ve managed to find every excuse in the book not to get going. Heck, I was going to start it today, but, well, I didn’t.
So here we are! I’m writing a post about making excuses because I needed an excuse as to why I have yet to get it going!
So I’ll start it tomorrow. It’s good!
The same thing happens in the corporate space, particularly during geopolitical tensions. Right now, companies are postponing projects, abandoning initiatives, and hunkering down into inaction. There is a crazy amount of uncertainty with the economy, war, global tensions, politics — and so leaders are doing the easiest thing of all: nothing.
And that’s exactly why I wrote Dancing in the Rain — the subtitle, How Bold Leaders Grow Stronger in Stormy Times, provides the exact antidote to indecision. (Grab it via dancing.jimcarroll.com!)
It’s really quite simple.
Stop stopping.
Start moving.

"Your goal should always be to make the impossible achievable! (Despite the chaos)" - Futurist Jim Carroll
The old rules of stability have been completely incinerated.
We are living through a period of intense volatility.
We often don't know what comes next.
And what we should do about it.
Chaos rules.
Right now, most people are still trying to find a dry place to hide, waiting for this latest storm of change to pass, but that is a losing strategy.
I wrote Dancing in the Rain for moments like this.
The core of the book - and my thinking - is that you can’t wait for the world to calm down; you have to learn to find your rhythm within the chaos. If you stay stuck in a mindset that you are just waiting for "things" to return to normal, you will be waiting a long time.
That's because while certainty might stop, most trends don't.
My 26 Trends for 2026 series highlights that making the impossible achievable is about mastering the art of the pivot.
This means building an "Optionality Architecture" that allows you to turn sudden economic ruptures into new opportunities.
Instead of being paralyzed by the wind and the rain, you need to focus on "Velocity of Recovery."
Despite everything going on, you need to continue to develop your ability to fail fast, learn faster, and keep moving forward.
The goal isn't just to survive the volatility, but to use it as the very fuel that makes your most ambitious goals possible.
Welcome to a typical Monday, 2026.

"Sometimes, you can’t control your circumstances, but you can control your thoughts!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Ultimately, the way you approach your circumstances defines how the circumstances turn out!
This is the last post on my situation, but I must say - something like this certainly gives you a chance to think!
I’ve spent a lot of time this week looking at my "backward" stats about my fitness and activities —the 884,000 pounds lifted at the gym during the year, the 112 rounds of golf I carded in 2025, and the top-tier cardio recovery stats I've built up.
It’s easy to look at that data and feel robbed by my current physical limits. But I’ve realized that the most important metric isn't on my Apple Watch. It’s the "Resilience Score" in my head. With all this unique downtime, I’ve learned that true strength isn’t just about what your body can do. It’s about what your mind can do once you begin shifting your thinking.
I'm working so hard every day not to focus on what I can't do today - but what I can do tomorrow if I don't do those things today!
And that's a subtle but significant mindspace shift!
As a futurist, I usually obsess over the "next big thing." But this injury has forced me to realize that you can’t sprint into the future if your chassis is broken. I’ve shifted my control panel from "frustration" to "preparation," by shifting my mindset.
I’m not sitting here waiting for my bones to heal; I am actively moving my mind into where it needs to be for longer terms success. I’m trading the dopamine of a ski run today for the guarantee of a tee time at St. Andrews in April!
The circumstance is a pause; the mindset is a pivot.
So while i can't control the circumstances I find myself in, I can certainly control the thinking around what I can do with them!
I think there is some powerful guidance in that line of thought that we can apply to just about any type of circumstance!
Onwards!

"If you want to move fast tomorrow, you must unburden yourself from the anchor that is yesterday." — Futurist Jim Carroll
---
Futurist Jim Carroll is writing his end-of-2025 / introduction-to-2026 series, 26 Principles for 2026. You can follow along at 2026.jimcarroll.com. He welcomes your comments.---
Day 2: It's all about "Strategic Self-Pruning" - think of it as shedding your past to fuel your future speed.
Let's start here.
Old habits die hard. In an exponential world old habits need to die faster.
If Day 1 was about resetting your internal clock, Day 2 is about getting a new clock altogether.
We live in an era where the half-life of a profitable business model, a valuable skill set, or a dominant market position is shrinking exponentially. Remember that line I often share? What used to last a career now lasts a decade; what lasted a decade now lasts a few years.
That skill you had two months ago? It's out of date already!
How do you possibly keep up in a world which is changing so crazy fast?
By getting rid of your anchors! You need to learn how you can run free and figure out what the heck is going on, and what you need to do be a part of it. And to do that, you need new habits - to ingest new knowledge, learn new skills, scan new horizons, take new risks, and chart a new path forward.
Look, I think you might be reading this series because you really want to figure out how to move forward in 2026. So here's the thing - one of the most important things you need to do is get rid of your past habits, ideas and routines to build a different future.
In my work with global organizations, I see the same pattern repeat: the greatest barrier to future velocity isn't a lack of new ideas; it's the crushing weight of old ones. Let's call it the "Legacy Load"—the accumulated mental habits, comfortable routines, and once-valuable expertise that now act as an anchor in a tidal wave of change.
To catch the exponential wave, you must stop hoarding the past.
Here's what you need to do -> read the post for my overview!
---
Futurist Jim Carroll wastes a lot of time playing with new ideas in order to discover the ideas that will help him learn the new things that matter.

"Invest in your next future, not your previous one!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Too many people live for yesterday, today, instead of living today for tomorrow.
Think about that.You know it's true if you can go through this list of the 10 we make when we invest more in "yesterday" (the past) than in "tomorrow" (the future). As a futurist who lives in tomorrow, I'm deeply sensitive and aware of these issues!
Clinging to an outdated identity or past glories: People can remain focused on previous success, titles, or achievements. If you see your legacy as an anchor rather than actively working toward the next achievement, you are doing it all wrong./
Mistaking inaction for caution: You know I'm going to say it, so I will - falling into "aggressive indecision" (the absence of initiative), delaying important decisions, and believing that waiting will somehow provide necessary clarity. It is one of the worst things you can do.
Fearing failure and avoiding calculated risk: You'll never move forward if you stick to safety. Letting the fear of negative outcomes will absolutely prevent your forward motion, viewing failure as fatal instead of recognizing that missteps are often the foundation for success.
Refusing to unlearn: Continuing to use old, familiar methodologies because of the "we've always done it this way" mentality, leading to complacency and inertia.
(more)
So what should you do? These things -- all of which I've covered in my Daily Inspiration over the last 9 years. They all involve forward thinking, reinvention, action, movement, and initiative!
Keep reading for the list!

Refusing to unlearn: Continuing to use old, familiar methodologies because of the "we've always done it this way" mentality, leading to complacency and inertia.
Letting the negativity of others define our path: Allowing "dream killers," narrow-minded and closed-minded people, to define your future will discourage your ambitions. Reject their pessimism - prove them wrong!
Focusing on problems instead of opportunities: Let things go! Becoming a "problem identifier" rather than a "solution generator". Oh, and never let a mindset of gloom overshadow potential growth.
Failing to invest in experiential capital: I've been preaching this for years. Not actively learning by doing is a huge mistake. We're in the era of a shrinking half-life of professional skills, and job **#1** has to be to solve the knowledge velocity problem by acquiring new knowledge through testing and trying.
Choosing short-term comfort over long-term relevance: You'll never win in the long term if you keep playing a short-term game. Making quick-fix decisions rather than confronting long-term realities will result in long-term complications and a failure to align with future opportunities!
So what should you do? These things -- all of which I've covered in my Daily Inspiration over the last 9 years. They all involve forward thinking, reinvention, action, movement, and initiative!
