🚀 Oh, the existential crisis of picking an MP3 player in high school! 🤔 Since then, our hero has been on a lifelong quest to find the quirkiest gadgets, rejecting mainstream allure. 🛠️ Spoiler: It's not a philosophical journey; it's just a guy who can't make up his mind. 🙄

Deliberation, even about the slightest things, annoys me; and I feel my mind harder put to it to endure the various shocks and ups and downs of doubt and deliberation, than to settle down and accept any course whatever, after the die is cast. Few passions have troubled my sleep; but as for deliberations, the slightest one troubles it.
[Le deliberer, voire és choses plus legeres, m’importune. Et sens mon esprit plus empesché à souffrir le bransle, & les secousses diverses du doute, & de la consultation, qu’à se rassoir & resoudre à quelque party que ce soit, apres que la chance est livree. Peu de passions m’ont troublé le sommeil ; mais des deliberations, la moindre me le trouble.]Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist

Major Win For The Indecisive: This Gas Pump Offers A ‘Maybe’ Option When It Asks If You’d Like A Receipt
-
"Choose velocity over certainty." - Futurist Jim Carroll
Now is not the time to slow down.
Here's why - all things I've written about before.
The Indecision Tax: Many leaders lose their edge during change, not because they made "bad" choices, but because they waited too long to make any choice at all. Indecision is a tax that drains your competitive advantage while others move ahead.
Inaction is a Decision: When things get volatile, many people freeze and hope for more information. What if there is none? You must realize that standing still is actually a choice. And in a fast-moving world, it is almost always the most expensive risk you can take.
Move Beyond "Pilot Purgatory": Organizations often get stuck in a loop of small, safe tests. Survival requires the speed to move instantly from a small experiment to a massive rollout before the window of opportunity closes.
Strategic Humility Over Pride: To move fast, you must trade the pride of "knowing everything" for the speed of learning new things. What worked yesterday is often a heavy anchor that holds you back from tomorrow's solutions.
Radical Subtraction for Speed: To increase velocity, focus on removing complexity rather than adding more process. Layers of approval and bureaucracy are the primary enemies of speed; you must lean out to accelerate.
Developing Anticipatory Intelligence: The most valuable commodity in a fast world is time. By seeing trends early, you gain a head start to act with velocity before the rest of the market falls into a panic.
The Velocity of Reinvention: Your goal isn't to build a fortress that resists change, but a culture that constantly reinvents itself. Resilience is found in the speed of your transformation, not the strength of your defenses.
Actionable Clarity: Dream, Prove, Win: Innovation follows a simple rhythm: think big enough to dream, start small enough to prove it works, and move fast enough to win. This keeps you moving even when the long-term view is blurry.
The "OODA Loop" on Steroids: Winners are those who observe and act the fastest. By collapsing the time between a decision and an act, you brute-force your way to the right answer through rapid real-world testing.
Escape Velocity: To launch a new idea, you must apply overwhelming force to overcome the pull of "how we've always done it." If you don't pick up the pace, the gravity of the past will eventually pull you down.
Stop waiting for clarity that won't come.
Get moving.

So, I guess today is a Fortnight Friday Music day. Today I learned about this new (to me) music hashtag.
The them is "Indecision."

A quotation from Bill Watterson
CALVIN: The more you know, the harder it is to take decisive action. Once you become informed, you start seeing complexities and shades of gray. You realize that nothing is as clear and simple as it first appears. Ultimately, knowledge is paralyzing. Being a man of action, I can’t afford to take that risk.
HOBBES: You’re ignorant, but at least you act on it.Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist
Calvin and Hobbes (1993-09-21)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/watterson-bill/4909/
