  2. #MissKitty has an elastic #mind. She has never understood why people just didn't get into #possibility. I think that I have always had a affinity for #Infinity. A natural predilection to consider that to be the #guideline. And that means there's really no guideline. Why can't I? Why can't we? 🔦🔦🔦

  5. Instead of thinking about hope, I think about possibility. When we hope, we have no control over what may come to pass. We put all our trust and energy into the whims of fate. We abdicate responsibility. We allow ourselves to be complacent. We are all just people living our lives as best we can, aren't we? It is easy to feel helpless. It is much harder to make ourselves uncomfortable by imagining the impossible to be possible. But we can do that. We can act, even in the smallest of ways.

  8. The paradox is that as we advance into the future the need for change gets greater and greater (to cope with changes in population, pollution, etc. and to make full use of our new technologies) but the possibility of change gets less and less because everything is already committed.

  10. The murdering of possibility to regulate our suffering

    From The Life You Want by Adam Phillips pg 117:

    If we wanted a definition of so-called pathology – or our difficulties in living – it may be, in Cioran’s phrase, the murdering of possibility. The murdering of possibility to regulate our suffering, to keep ourselves sufficiently safe. So where Freud’s and Ferenczi’s and Cioran’s question is: how, if at all, can I make my life seem not merely bearable but worth living; how can I justify, or make something I value out of the suffering my life involves?

    From pg 118-119:

    These questions, in all their apparent rhetorical gravity, may be there … to murder possibility; may indeed be our way of murdering possibility under the cover of pursuing profound questions.

    What might we make of ourselves is a call to action, and it confronts us with, or challenges us to ask, what we want rather than what we supposedly are. It makes what we want, and what we want to be … the heart of the matter.

    From pg 119:

    For the pragmatists, unlike the psychoanalyst, the risk is that we avoid confronting what we want to be, what we might be, what we could be, by telling ourselves what we really are; as though we have delegated what we want to what we have been persuaded we are, or to what we are keen to take ourselves to be.

  11. Teachers are holding the first of three days of general strike this Tuesday in a month, to which other days of localized stoppages will be added.

    Teachers are holding the first of three days of general strike this Tuesday in a month, to which other days of localized stoppages will be added. It will be the most educationally and organizationally complicated end of the school year in many years.#education #no #possibility #of #agreement
    Education: no possibility of agreement?

  12. #SciFi is my favourite genre and always will be. No other storytelling form dares to ask: what if we are not alone? What if machines think? What if humanity spreads across galaxies?

    It builds entire worlds from scratch, where physics bends, societies evolve in strange directions, and #technology reshapes what it means to be human. #StarTrek, #Gattaca, #Interstellar, these are not just stories. They are serious questions about where we are heading and what we might become.

    What pulls me deepest is the #possibility. #AI, #SpaceTravel, genetic engineering, none of this is pure fantasy anymore. #SciFi saw it all coming first.
    No chosen hero needed. Just one idea worth thinking about long afterward.
    That is rare.

    That is irreplaceable.

  13. "Let relentless optimism define your core!" - 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.

    For those who might ask, I'm in California today, on stage at 9 am with a keynote for a packaging conference. if the weather gods are willing, I'll be landing back at YYZ about 910pm, and should see a splashdown at perhaps 1030pm. Traditions and all!
    --

    On a milestone like today, you realize that the most important piece of "gear" you’ve carried through 36 years isn't a laptop or a library of data.

    It’s your outlook.

    In a world of relentless change, volatility, and a staggering rate of change that always seems to directly impact you, the most radical mindset you can adapt is to stay relentlessly optimistic.

    Optimism isn't about being naive; it’s about being strategic. It's about making a conscious decision that you are always going to try to find the upside, instead of obsessing over the downside. You are going to find the opportunities rather than becoming distressed about the negatives. It means you are going to always act to keep moving forward, even though personal circumstances seem to be trying to drag you backward.

    And it always involves thinking about a potentially better future. Look, if you don't believe the future can be better, you won't do the hard work required to pivot toward it. In my voyage, I’ve seen that the cynics are usually right in the short term, but the optimists are the ones who build the long term. Cynicism is a destructive force: optimism is a powerful flex.

    This is the secret to longevity. When you choose optimism as your core, every disruption becomes an opportunity rather than a threat. Throughout my 36 years, the pivots that felt the most effortless were the ones fueled by a genuine excitement for what was coming next.

    If you let fear define your core, you will build a career based on standing still.
    Doing small things. Making small steps. Chasing small goals.

    But if you let optimism define your core, you build a career based on possibility.

    Big ideas. Big trends. Big opportunities.

    As I stand at this milestone today, I’m not looking at the challenges that exist around me today.

    I'm looking at what comes next and what I will do to be a part of it.

    That being the case, think about this: the future belongs to those who are excited to meet it!
