#Money, the interesting thing about it is if you #exist in #poverty, you desperately need it for your day to day survival, then if your on the opposite end as in being a multi million or billionaire in reality money means nothing, because everything you own and do is leveraged off of debt that you one don't actually own and second can never actually satisfy, and the rules of the game are very different for those in poverty, and the rules are slightly different if your in the middle, but if your on top, the rules don't apply to you unless somehow your generation and hoarding of wealth imposes upon another top income holder, basically if your in poverty all the way to the bottom end of double digit millions, your beholden to the entire state if it where, and beyond that the entire state apparently is beholden to you and your ability to leverage debt, it is a rigged system of epic inequality and strongly embraces prejudice against the rest of us whom simply would appreciate the basics in life to be readily available without so much turmoil, and stress to our mental and physical wellbeing, money is an illusion of power and has left far to many of us going hungry, literally;

It's tempting and understandable to concentrate on trying to manage change. But never forget to work steadily on *what* to change.

A quotation from Henry Commager
It is easier to say what loyalty is not than to say what it is. It is not conformity. It is not passive acquiescence in the status quo. It is not preference for everything American over everything foreign. It is not an ostrich-like ignorance of other countries and other institutions. It is not the indulgence in ceremony — a flag salute, an oath of allegiance, a fervid verbal declaration. It is not a particular creed, a particular version of history, a particular body of economic practices, a particular philosophy.
Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist

All censorships exist to prevent any one from challenging current conceptions and existing institutions. All progress is initiated by challenging current conceptions, and executed by supplanting existing institutions. Consequently the first condition of progress is the removal of censorships.
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) Irish playwright and critic

Die politische Gegenwart ist paradox: Während den meisten Akteur*innen in Politik, Gesellschaft und Bewegungen klar ist, dass angesichts der Klimakatastrophe ein Weitermachen wie gehabt unmöglich ist, ist eine Alternative zum Status quo so unvorstellbar wie noch nie.
Michael Hirsch und Kilian Jörg starten den Versuch, die linke Vorstellungskraft wieder aufzuforsten – inspiriert von dem Konzept Zone à défendre – ZAD, der „zu verteidigenden Zone“. Die berühmte ZAD in Notre-Dame-des-Landes besteht seit über 15 Jahren als ein aus Verwertungszusammenhängen herausgelöstes Gebiet, in dem mit neuen sozialen Beziehungen, mit neuen Verhältnissen zu Arbeit und Ökologie experimentiert wird. Können diese Erfahrungen auf größere Maßstäbe übertragen werden?
Durchlöchert den Status quo! Autonome Zonen, radikale Demokratie und Ökologie
Buchvorstellung und Diskussion mit Michael Hirsch und Kilian Jörg

The Ohio legislature is corrupt as all hell, everyday Ohioans are paying the price.
Vivek Ramaswamy picked one of its leaders to be his running mate. The architect of the $600M stadium raid of Ohioans’ private funds.

A quotation from Henry Commager
Who among American heroes could meet their [loyalty] tests, who would be cleared by their committees? Not Washington, who was a rebel. Not Jefferson, who wrote that all men are created equal and whose motto was “rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.” Not Garrison, who publicly burned the Constitution; or Wendell Phillips, who spoke for the underprivileged everywhere and counted himself a philosophical anarchist; not Seward of the Higher Law or Sumner of racial equality. Not Lincoln, who admonished us to have malice toward none, charity for all; or Wilson, who warned that our flag was “a flag of liberty of opinion as well as of political liberty”; or Justice Holmes, who said that our Constitution is an experiment and that while that experiment is being made “we should be eternally vigilant against attempts to check the expression of opinions that we loathe and believe to be fraught with death.”

A quotation from Henry Commager
What is the new loyalty? It is, above all, conformity. It is the uncritical and unquestioning acceptance of America as it is — the political institutions, the social relationships, the economic practices. It rejects inquiry into the race question or socialized medicine, or public housing, or into the wisdom or validity of our foreign policy. It regards as particularly heinous any challenge to what is called “the system of private enterprise,” identifying that system with Americanism. It abandons evolution, repudiates the once popular concept of progress, and regards America as a finished product, perfect and complete.

"I Get Around" is a song by American rock band #theBeachBoys and the opening track from their 1964 album #AllSummerLong. Written by #BrianWilson and #MikeLove, the autobiographical lyrics describe the group's reaction to their newfound fame and success, as well as their restlessness concerning the #statusQuo, and their desire to find new places "where the kids are hip". It was released as a single in May 1964, with the B-side "#DontWorryBaby".

"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!'

@javi ¿es pregunta seria y no retórica? - porque no tienen tiempo para aprender, ya sea por limitaciones temporales/económicas, de interés... de utilidad... ¿por qué no todas las ciudades cierran sus centros a los autos? ¿por qué no todas crean una red de transporte público? Nadie serio cree que los autos son lo mejor.. pero el #statusQuo gana.
