Ah, yes, Jacquard: the programming language for when #AI writes code and humans pretend they're still in control 👩💻🤖. Because nothing says "trustworthy software" like outsourcing your job to a robot and then double-checking its work like a suspicious parent. A true #revolution in creating the illusion of #human #relevance in the age of #machine dominance! 🚀🤷♂️

For the first time since its inception, the ‘Biennale di Venezia’ has artistic relevance. No wonder those in charge are stepping down. They didn’t see this coming.

“You should never wait for the world to catch up to your obsolescence." - Futurist Jim Carroll
Here's a truth to consider: your gut feels the pivot long before your head admits it.
Sometimes we are forced into a career change or pivot. Other times, we need to make the decision on our own.
Either way, it's a gut-wrenching moment.
I know that when I was thinking about leaving the corporate world behind back in 1990, I was pretty miserable. My career track had changed due to a merger; my opportunities vanished; my successful path forward was now in doubt. And yet, I struggled mightily with the idea of moving from career certainty to becoming a self-employed unknown chasing a future that didn't yet exist.
But I went through with it, and it turned out to be the right thing to do.
Here's what I've learned in the decades since: when a pivot is forced on you, you go through something a lot like the stages of grief: shock, denial, anger, and eventually acceptance. When the pivot is your own choice, the same thing happens, just in slow motion. You sit in denial that things have to change. You get angry that they have to. And eventually, hopefully, you accept it.
As I wrote in my book Now What? Reinvention and the Role of Optimism in Finding Your New Future, the faster you get to acceptance, the quicker you can reinvent.
So how do you get to acceptance? You learn to recognize the signals. Some triggers will tell you when it's time:
The expiry of your relevance
The "soul-crushing" signal
The need for reinvention velocity
The "Sunday night" signal
Read about them in the full post.
And one trigger that sits apart from the rest: if you are drowning your career misery in substance abuse, the pivot question has already answered itself. The first move isn't a career change. It's getting help, from yourself or from someone trained to give it. The pivot comes after.
Here's the filter, though: not every bad week is a signal. Burnout, a difficult client, a rough quarter — those are weather, not climate. The triggers above only matter when they become persistent, structural, and patterned. If a vacation fixes it, it wasn't a pivot signal.
You should never find yourself thinking "I should have jumped sooner."
Because when you wonder if it's time to pivot, it probably already is.

The Atlantic, in a desperate attempt to stay relevant, announces that #AI might not be a #bubble after all. 🤔💸 Apparently, when you throw enough digital spaghetti at the wall, something finally sticks — or at least they hope. 🤷♂️📉

"In a world of big change, we are surrounded by some very small minds!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
There are still some people fighting the battles of 2024, the issues of 2022, the world of 2020, the realities of 2018.
It's 2026.
Everything has changed.
What happens in a time of big change is that the small minds refuse to let go of where they were, and find it impossible to go to where the rest of the world is going.
They struggle to comprehend the new order of the world because they are still raging about the old one.
They can't let go of their desire to go back to where they think we should be going, rather than going to where the rest of us are going.
They're a tiresome bunch, aren't they!

Hi, SocialWorlds. Your post ended in my “Home” timeline probably because of the #information(en) hashtag, and even if I don’t speak German it looked interesting so I “had” to translate it and respond. Hope you don’t mind :-)
#Distinction of #undecidable #questions in #known and #unknown #conditions of their #relevance.
#hypothetical / #factual
#Factually meant as a #question for #data as not yet known #information
#known / #unknown
In the case of #functional systems such as #economy, #religion, #art and #politics, only #facts are missing. How they are to be #understood is #clear.
In the case of #meaning and #ecology, #decisive #factors are #unclear.In my opinion #data=#facts. You can’t argue about facts the same way you can’t really argue about the “hard data” (numbers, graphs) in front of you.
What you can argue about is the interpretation of that data, or the different private #information every one of us will extract from the same set of data (facts) in front of us. What information is derived from the data depends on the different #knowledge(s) each one of us has about the world.

Increasing the Relevance and Effectiveness of Residual Climate #RiskManagement in #German #DevelopmentCooperation
#DEval Policy Brief by Leppert et al. (2022)To increase #relevance, #effectiveness and #RiskCoverage requires:
• Strategic development of the #residual #climate #risk portfolio
• Openness in choice & combination of instruments
• Considering target groups' needs, i.e. when designing #ClimateRiskInsurance
