https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/aug/20/ministers-are-in-denial-about-the-scale-of-the-crises-we-face. This #letter writer, Dr Amy McDonnell, wants the #Government to start getting its act together on #climate #adaptation - which is all well & good, & doubtless necessary, but that same Government needs to act with far greater #urgency on climate #mitigation, too - & there must be absolutely NO more talk about further #drilling for #oil & #gas in the #NorthSea!

'"This issue was not caused by staff error, system error, or automated decision-making. MSD has been administering the legislation as enacted."
#Upston was unsure whether the error would have been picked up even if the bill had gone through the standard #legislative process.
'But Labour's social development spokesperson Willow-Jean Prime said if the #bill had not gone through under #urgency, then there would have been more #scrutiny, and the error would have been picked up.
'"It's appalling that many senior citizens have gone without their Winter Energy Payment in the coldest months of this year. This is as a result of the government rushing through legislation under urgency, and this is the human cost of those mistakes that they have made."'

walls of masonry and brickwork
that all wednesday were
damp darkened by rain wash
through all the hours of sunrise
today
those housefronts and market
stalls were shadow tinted
but now that sunless hue recedes
down those walls like a tide
now those walls are sunlight shaded
like mortar like mud at midday
go to that dark monastery where i live
and iโll pay for your daily bread
walk like one who knows
the time between the shades is short -
if you do need new gear you have good reasons for screaming take my money, the price is not a huge barrier, it pays for itself maybe not in one job but eventually. when dc upgrades hit in waves prices are going to drop - supply will exceed pent up demand - that is my prediction, we are in a bubble #short squeeze #amortization #arb #pulls #refurb mkt #scarcity #urgency #fomo garbage

@ai6yr the big tech guy's are jumping into volcano of their own ego - predict economy will 10x in 10 years.
don't you think if you are talking to older folks they are going to be interested in longevity? it is all too weird but if he really ramps elec semi finally this time, 4 years late, then that is something;
mostly i am interested when mkts flip or asml starts selling more machines or something significant happens - more competition. They promise you the world but want a pound of flesh,
at some point open source crew is going to look in the mirror and run their own distributed inference and federated enclaves, repos, distributed models, not rely on big tech so much, the entire ai trend will hit smb sector,
I think quite a few people will go for local self hosted solutions - we will see how the mkt shakes out #hold the wheel#driving while blind #scarcity #urgency #fomo #holley efi

dario says we are reaching the end of the exponential, i think we are just getting started, who's right? A: nobody knows what is going to happen - things could slow down for various reasons or black swan events but generally progress will continue and the pace of change will keep getting faster #fear #urgency #scarcity

"It's easy to make excuses to avoid taking action. It requires discipline to find reasons to act." - Futurist Jim Carroll
I made this comment on stage at a recent event while working through a section focused on innovation strategies.
I knew right away I had something powerful!
Part of what happens when I provide very detailed, disruptive industry trends is that people become overwhelmed. Whether it's the new world of hyperconnected, intelligent medical device technology, digital twin manufacturing design processes, or the accelerated role of generative engine optimization in website marketing strategies, many in the audience often react with 'whoa!'
And I know what they are thinking. "I don't need to do that right now." "It can wait." "I can do it later."
Excuses.
Not action.
And then one day, they wake up, realize that they have fallen way behind, and suddenly know that it is impossible to catch up.
The future went past them.
But they had a choice.
They could have acted. They could have avoided the excuses and instead, decided to move forward.
They could have committed to the opportunities of tomorrow, today.
But they didn't, until it was too late.
What excuses are you making right now?
What actions are you avoiding?
Where is your future caught between the action/inaction line?
Food for thought!

Futurist Jim Carroll has long realized that perhaps 1/2 of every audience will never make it to the future in good shape.

How January 2026 Already Feels Like a Whole Year
January 2026 has felt like a year within itself. Weโre only a few weeks into the month, and yet it feels as if the weight of time has condensed, making every day feel like a chapter in a longer saga. Itโs not the typical feeling of a new yearโs freshness or the usual optimism that comes with turning the page on a calendar. Instead, thereโs something different about this January โ something that feels stretched, intense, and heavy. In a way, itโs as if time itself has slowed, [โฆ] -

Ah, yes, the earth is sweltering like a ๐๐ฅ, but first, let's make sure your browser settings are up to date before we panic about climate change. Because who needs scientific #urgency when you have JavaScript errors to troubleshoot? ๐๐ง

โโLaterโ is the graveyard where great ideas go to die!โโโโFuturist Jim Carroll
I continue to get a great reaction from folks who have bought copies of two of my books, Embracing Mediocrity and Escaping Mediocrity - so much so that in the fall, I'm going to make it a trilogy when I pull together the third book, Eradicating Mediocrity!
There's a reason I wrote both books (and why I will write the third) - I've seen a lot of innovation efforts go off the rails, and I've documented that in all the various books I wrote along the way. These two books helped, in a fun way, what I've learned, and what we should do about it. The fact is, I've spent over 30 years on stages around the world, from NASA to Disney, talking about the future. And if there's one timeless truth I've observed, it's this: People who say "I'll do it tomorrow" never arrive there in good shape.
That isn't just a catchy phrase; it's a fundamental barrier to success in the high-velocity economy we live in. Delay is a decision. Inaction is a strategy. And both are recipes for failure. Need more recipes? Dive into the books like many others have.
The theme I cover in the books isn't something new - it's battle-tested insight covered in many of my books, many of which you can find over at books.by.jimcarroll.com
I dug into some of these past works to pick up on where I've covered this reality, and it's been a key theme!
Because if you keep saying "I'll do it tomorrow," you'll find that the future has already happened without you.
Read the full post. Do it now!

This defense of #statusquo and #incrementalism as the ONLY way forward is jaw-dropping in its complete denial of the #urgency and #scale of #climatechange
#Influential people like this writer are simply unwilling to engage with the catastrophic impacts faced by folks in the #developing world where there is no recourse. For these folks - it is all a #game

A quotation from Bertrand Russell
A great many worries can be diminished by realizing the unimportance of the matter which is causing the anxiety.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 5 โFatigueโ (1930)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/russell-bertrand/772โฆ

"๐๐๐ข ๐๐๐๐ ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ก ๐๐ ๐กโ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ก ๐ฆ๐๐ข โ๐๐ฃ๐!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
One of my main messages yesterday during my keynote was that you need to make the most of the moment if you have one. If a wide variety of trends are suddenly coming together - which they are for medical device technology as they are for many other industries - then you have to move at the speed of the trends. This is a message I often share while on stage.
In that context, I've also been doing a final proofread of ๐ซ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐น๐๐๐ - I suspect we are days away from release. And in one of the chapters, I saw one of the phrases I wrote - "๐๐๐ข ๐๐๐๐ ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ก ๐๐ ๐กโ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ก ๐ฆ๐๐ข โ๐๐ฃ๐." When you write tens of thousands of words, you sometimes forget the wisdom you wove into just a few of those words.
With that in mind, here's what you need to think about.
You need to commit.
You need to have a compelling sense of urgency.
You have to decide to move forward, not back.
You should have a sense that RIGHT NOW is the right time.
You must be ready to act decisively.
You need to make decisions.
You need to move with the trends as they mature, not as they fade.
Do things. Now.
Get it done - because why should you wait?
Kill indecision - otherwise, it will kill you.
Start doing. Action is better than stasis.
Act faster - because your world is.
Volatility is normal - learn from it.
Think faster. Don't wait for perfect information.
Act more. Momentum is valuable.
Change is inevitable - Indecisiveness isn't.
Because waiting is fatal.
Agility, innovation, and execution are key.

Futurist Jim Carroll admits to having never understood indecision.
