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.#MasksAreCool #MasksSaveLives #CovidIsNotOver #AirborneInfectionProtection #AirborneInfections #PreventativeHealth #MaskUp #PutYourMaskOn #opportunity

They're asking a lot of prior experience but then the stakes are high (and I suppose they pay well): one of the most widely deployed libraries in the open source ecosystem is hiring a new maintainer.
Hope they'll find someone suitable.

"I'm coming from my background working in this purpose-led sustainable business space, where you see things like worker cooperatives having a really positive impact, both from the workers POV and from the business POV. Because that more collective decision-making, and an interest in the success of the business, delivers better long term outcomes. Both commercially and for individuals."

He who puts off the hour to begin living rightly

Meanwhile, it flows, forever flows on and rolls by.

Another poll released, and once again, Opportunity is above 5%;
A week is a long time in politics, as they say, and there's still 2 months until Polling Day. There's always the possibility something could completely undermine Opportunity's support before then. But based on the consistent trend across all polling companies, going back to mid-June, they will be in the next Parliament.

A quotation not from Thomas Carlyle

Apparently Jack Tame's Q+A interview with Opportunity leader Qiulae Wong is getting a lot of mileage on social media ('TOP leader DESTROYED by Jack Tame' sort of stuff). Since I've posted some fairly sympathetic comments on them here - including fact-checking claims based on a clip from it - I thought it's only fair that I check out the full interview;

To be fair, the Opportunity party policy on this is even worse. They're totally drinking the kool-aid, and planning to give free public money to the #MOLE Training and DataFarming industries;
"... we will introduce a new tax credit scheme.
It will allow claiming back as a tax/credit up to 25% of the cost of rolling/out high-tech solutions such as AI and digital platforms."

"Luxon said he wasn’t interested in doing business with parties wanting to raise taxes, pointing to Opportunity’s universal income and land tax as reasons a vote for the party effectively supported Labour and the Greens."

Hipkins has consistently ruled out holistic tax reform while he's Labour leader (only 1 of many reasons he needs to be replaced). So why would tax policy make #Opportunity any more likely to support a Labour-led govt?

"America's tech giants' #margins are now everyone else's #opportunity. The trillions that US tech companies extract could be someone else's billions – all they'd have to do is offer the #interoperable goods and services that disenshittify America's tech products. They could sell the tools that let anyone in the world use independent #appstores, or fix their cars and tractors, and put generic ink in their printers. A year ago, no country could afford to allow a company headquartered in its borders to get into this business, lest they be clobbered with tariffs. Today, any country that isn't thinking about this is a #sucker that will end up buying these tools from another country that gets there first."

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.

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

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.

"It's all fairway when you put in the work!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
If you golf, you know instantly when you hit a great tee shot. And as a speaker, you know instantly when one moment has suddenly changed some lives and an industry. As a golfer and speaker, I've had both moments.
Let's start with golf. In my last few rounds - including yesterday - I've been hitting 100% of fairways consistently. This is a good thing, but it's only happening because I've put in the work. My irons are also, as the vernacular goes, 'dialled in,' pretty consistently hitting within 10 or 20 percent of my target. Golfers obsess over stuff like this.
As a futurist and innovation speaker, I also obsess over the quality of my work.
If you golf, you will know that today is the opening round of the PGA of America golf tournament.
One of my career highlights was back in 2010 when I keynoted the annual general meeting of the PGA of America, the organization that hosts this tournament. Most folks don't understand who the real 'PGA' golfer is who would be a member of this association, and who were at my talk. The folks in the room were not the Rorys and Brysons and Xanders- it was the hard-working local club pro at your golf club. The one who teaches lessons and runs the pro shop, who joins you on Mens Day or Ladies Day, manages the golf course, and hires all the other professional golf staff. Some of them might have competed on tour as a PGA Tour player (a different association!), but many simply love the game of golf and have built a career out of successfully running your local golf club.
And back in 2010, unlike today, the industry they were working in was facing a reckoning.
And somehow or other, I was selected to be the opening keynote speaker for their AGM. My job was to come in and provide insight into the trends that might provide them with opportunities for growth in the future. And that was the entire focus of this AGM - the meeting tagline was 'Grow the Game.' Not only that, my marching orders were to help shake them out of their complacency and encourage them to make innovative thinking the core of what they do.
I piped it.
