  1. Whenever any stranger compliments me, when I'm fully masked up - I tell them, only true cool people mask up without being told to do so. You can be cool like me too. Start with wearing a mask.
    I use visual privileges, because most humans judge others visually first, to say things that strangers don't expect to come out of my mouth.

  11. "Success will often depend on what you choose to ignore.” - Futurist Jim Carroll

    If you follow me, you will know I'm very big on not following big hype. Far too many trends are overplayed and overemphasized, and yet under-reach with unrealistic potential.

    Why is that? Because I've seen over and over and over again what happens when excessively hyped trends don't become real in the short term. But here's a fun fact - I also believe the observation by Bill Gates that we tend to overestimate the impact of a trend in the short term, but underestimate it's impact its impact in the long term.

    Which means timing is everything!

    So let's put this conundrum into perspective. Many of us are conditioned to believe that success is about absorption. More information, more networking, more trends, more hustle leads to more success - that type of thing. But my own voyage through the global economy has taught me that the opposite is true. As the world gets louder, your success doesn't depend on what you take in. It depends on what you ruthlessly exclude.

    The "Infinite Pivot" isn't just about moving toward the new; it's about knowing which 'new' to avoid, and when.

    Fast-moving trends can often be a powerful distraction. The buzz they generate It is a chaotic mix of breaking news, viral hype, and the promise of quick riches. But if you jump on too soon, you'll get burned. Too late, and you'll miss the opportunity. Did I mention timing is everything?

    There's also the aspect of how real any particular trend might be - and which should be ignored. The most profound shifts in my career happened when I finally built a "cognitive firewall" against trivial trends.

    In an era of infinite distraction, the person who can choose what not to care about is the only one who can truly see what's coming.

    Don't just filter the future.

    Manage your attention.

  12. *Did you ever actually contemplate the ongoing Russian sabotage attacks in Europe? How could they not lick their chops about shattering big plates of NVIDIA glass inside AI data-centers #means #motive #opportunity #asymmetric en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian...

    Russian sabotage operations in...

  13. @vfrmedia @wood5y My point is there is an #opportunity #cost to this, & the #MetPolice are not THAT "flush with #resources". Every #black person they're harassing on the streets, & every #pensioner they're #arresting for supporting #PalestineAction & opposing #Israeli #genocide in #Gaza is a #burglar or #mugger they're NOT arresting. They devote far too much time, effort & money policing #protest, simply because the #Government & the #politicians don't like it.

    The fun of #SX is that you don't have to learn it, nor do you have to get it taught to you.

    Like chess you should #experience it to gain #experience, and you do that by meeting other #people and #practice it. By #SocialExperience with your friends and peers in the chess world #SocialGraph. Weaving #SocialFabric where you can be playful, creative and do experiments, engage in #challenges. This keeps one intrinsically #motivated to stay into the #game. Learn more. Enter a virtuous ⭕ circle of rewarding #exercises.

    And perhaps one day. Suddenly and unexpected, #opportunity finds you to play against #MagnusCarlsen. And WIN!

    The important thing is: You need not have any *expectation* for that. And most people shouldn't, as it is boils down to 'hanging yourself up to a Vision' if you simply don't possess the 'chess genius gene'. Most people don't.

    However you can still #Dream about beating Magnus one day to have fun at every level of your progression path to mastery.

  15. #ThoughtProvoker :blobhyperthink:

    @laurenshof wrote fabulous reports analysing our #SocialWeb and sadly this included raging techno-ideological #ProtocolWars too. How can we turn that to #Progress?

    So much friction and heat in the raging discussions #ActivityPub vs. #ATProto 😭

    🔮 What is *much* more relevant in #Bluesky vs AP is WHY ❔ Bluesky + ATProto gets the bigger uptake, despite compromising on #moral and #ethical values and #principles we hold dear.

    Knowing the answers to that is where #opportunity for strategic action comes from. And subsequently following what you may call #FocusedPragmatism instead of just 'wild-coding' the chaotic #fedi with countless independent, uncoordinated "Show, don't tells" of yet more code to shove onto the #BigBallOfMud that fediverse-we-have increasingly represents.

    #ActivityPubAPI provides such Opportunity.

    To revive on a *greenfield basis* doing #Protocol design and adopt lessons-learned from APv1 #Microbloggosphere vs. #Atmosphere.

  16. "Regret is far more expensive than failure" - Futurist Jim Carroll

    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.

    Futurist Jim Carroll believes that having a case of the 'if-only's' is worse than suffering from a case of the 'whoops!'

  17. I don't know for sure but I think I just lost a #friend over being too #forgiving in the moment.

    Sorry not sorry. I don't stand for what I can't #become as such.

    I do what I can to #embrace all #people who #appreciate who I am. It's all I can do, and if that #means my #contribution towards #friendships isn't meant to #last then so #be it. But if it does, they're really #rare and I #cherish them because they're very easy to #lose over #something you thought you could #understand at the time.

    I'll #say this.

    All #echo #chambers are the #primary #reason as to why a #friendship falls apart. Because I've seen this #effect everyone to the point of no #return possible, and honestly...you can't get along with people who spend more of their #time invested into something other than what you are doing with that person together. And I don't think I'm alone in wishing that at times, such an #investment cultivates #familiarity over #routine on a continuous basis.

    But you know what? I still appreciate the chance to #care for all it is #worth as such. I do my best to live #life with no #regrets to count on #growing without me there to #manage them.

    It's my own #fault for putting a bit of my #soul into everything I do alongside my #heart and #mind accordingly. And as afar as I #know there's no #changing that, at least in a very easy way.

    If you ever truly #need #friends by your side, you'll know whether they're people you can #count on or not, by the way they #treat your #ambitions as an #individual person.

    You can still #respect someone if they do not #acknowledge that you have any. But the chances of you becoming #close, are not as great.

    With that being said, you do not need to #support the same #ambition someone else does, in order to be friends. You just need to set your #ego aside so that such a person can fulfill their #desire the best way they know how to.

    That's what I do, and I carry a lot of #weight because of it. All of the #memories set aside because the soul wasn't ready to let go of the ones #entrapping their #conscious #focus throughout seemingly more #important issues outside of my #control in all of the #moments they last.

    Putting my best #self forward, means respecting that and not forcing the #matter at hand. It doesn't make that #feeling go away, born of lost #opportunity at the #core of #potential #reciprocity as such.

    But yes #indeed I know #hope is not so easily broken by #fragile #futility alone. Which is why I continue to #forgive but not #forget all of the ways life makes a different #path #unfold into #being by the #presence of #purpose for everyone.

  20. We glorify “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps,” but the reality is: some people don’t even have boots.

    UBI doesn’t replace hard work—it makes real opportunity possible.

    How many Einsteins and Da Vincis are stuck in dead-end jobs just trying to pay rent? How much talent are we wasting?

    Let’s give people a chance. ❤️

  21. Daily Inspiration: "While you might never open many closed minds, be careful to never close your own!" - Futurist  Jim Carroll

    A closed mind is a dangerous thing.

    There's a lot of them about.

    And the fact is, many innovation efforts fail because of all the closed minds that surround any new initiative. It's often said that the best antidote for a closed mind is an open book, but many refuse to read. It is also said that minds are like parachutes - they only function when they are open Things like this make it extremely difficult for forward-oriented organizations and innovative people to move forward with new ideas.

    Remember my innovation killer list? "You can't do that, because we've always done it this way!" "It won't work!" "It's doomed to fail!" These phrases and many others are indicative of the closed mind - the inability to change the way things are done, to conceive new ideas, or to accept a different way of thinking.

    And the problem is, if you are always surrounded by this type of negativity, it can drag you down into a swell of conformity.

    Don't let that happen. Always keep in mind the characteristics of open-minded people:

    - they are open to new ideas and opinions and willing to consider them.

    - they are willing to accept different lifestyles, cultural norms, or day-to-day behaviors

    - they respect the belief systems and deep values of other people

    - they know how to take any challenge and turn it into an opportunity

    - they are sympathetic to other viewpoints

    - they make sure to take the time to see both sides of every situation.

    - they are curious, eager to learn, and always exploring new things

    And most important, being open-minded involves treating all people with deep respect and dignity for who they are - regardless of who they are.
