#visionaries — Public Fediverse posts

Today the world celebrates the 100th birthday of Sir David Attenborough. I, unlike so many others, did not grow up hearing his wonderful voice and exploring our planet with him. In fact, I only discovered his work about six years ago. But from that moment on, I watched everything I could from him. I, who have never seen, felt as if I were looking through his eyes, because his descriptions were both clear and vivid. I learned about things that I never knew existed, from animals, to plants, to the history of the Earth itself. He gave me a new understanding and appreciation of science and the world around me. From there, I began watching other nature documentaries, and it has become one of my favourite passtimes. It is truly heart-warming to see a man who has done so much and who is loved by so many be honoured while he is still with us. If I had one thing to say to Sir David, it would be this. Thank you for helping me see the world and for making it a better place for all who live in it.

The Super7 Visionaries tease is nudging me to go back and revisit my upscale project. All those uploads were taken down when my YouTube account was nuked in The Micronauts (2019) Incident, and I still have them backed up, but I want to give them another pass now that I have a newer laptop (M4 instead of an M1) and a Mac-specific RealESRGAN tool.

Of course, an official remaster would be better than an upscale, but I'm not sure even Hasbro knows where the masters for that or Inhumanoids are.

"Look for the visionaries who get it... not the skeptics who oppose it."  - Futurist Jim Carroll

I was thinking again about the state of affairs with trends and the future. It truly is astonishing how the script can flip in such a short time. Maybe I was onto something when I was sharing the Flintstones and Jetsons idea on stage.

So how do you ensure you are staying tuned to the right ideas, the important concepts, the trends that matter? Listen to the visionaries, those who have a close eye on the ground of tomorrow, an ear tuned to the trends. I asked Gemini what my blog posts suggest - what type of guidance have i shared over the years that helps us to think about this.

This is what you should do.

Lead from the future, not the present: Instead of focusing on current challenges, paint a clear picture of tomorrow and orient your team to move towards that vision.

Don't just follow trends, create them: Be a disruptor in your industry by anticipating what's next and building it before anyone else. This proactive approach sets you apart as a leader, not a follower.

Weaponize your curiosity: Cultivate a culture of relentless questioning. Reward yourself when you challenge assumptions and ask "what if," as this helps to eliminate stagnant thinking.

Lead with "decisive optimism": Acknowledge the challenges at hand, but consistently project confidence in your ability to overcome them. Your mindset is crucial in navigating uncertainty.

Embrace speed: Be quick and nimble. Adopt short-term plans and a mindset of continuous, iterative innovation to keep pace with a rapidly changing world.

Spend more time on possibilities than on roadblocks: Focus your energy on the opportunities and potential outcomes rather than dwelling on the setbacks and obstacles you encounter.

Don't just think outside the box - live there: Make unconventional thinking and living a core part of your personal and professional life, not just an occasional exercise.

To invent the future, be willing to throw away your past: You must be prepared to discard old methods and outdated successes to create something new and transformative.

Learn from your disappointments, don't hide from them: View your mistakes and letdowns as opportunities for growth. Use them as fuel for your next steps forward instead of allowing them to define you.

Learn from your challengers: Do not ignore your competitors. Instead, study them, learn from them, and get inspired by their strategies to fuel your own innovative thinking.

Above all, keep moving forward, not back!

Because, despite the oddness of our times, tomorrow knows where we are going!

Sometimes, Futurist Jim Carroll doesn't know where we are going, but knows that we are making great time.

#AI #Darwin Awards proudly continue this noble tradition by honouring #visionaries who looked at artificial #intelligence—a technology capable of reshaping civilisation—and thought.

You know what this needs? Less #safety testing and more venture capital!

These brave pioneers remind us #NaturalSelection isn’t just for #biology anymore

Why stop at individual acts of spectacular stupidity when you can scale up to global proportions?

Extreme nicheposting here but @strangefour is at TFCon Toronto while I sit at home recovering from the financial strain of buying an entire house and someone had Mortdred from Visionaries for $20 (Canadian!) and he picked him up for me and I am very excited to get that ridiculous Jonathan-Harris-voiced simp.

So, after getting to know a lot of other #Autists (and yes, I'm mostly focusing on higher functioning folks, but acknowledge lower functioning ones -- who still think and feel), I've come to the conclusion that we are the #NewMutants -- and are here to fix things. Seriously! If we had social skills and more confidence (I'm one of those with both), we could change everything! Rise up, my #Autist friends! We know how to fix shit! Let's have at it!

This is not just another profile.
And this space is not for everyone.

This Mastodon is for people who are already awake.
Not for those chasing likes — but for those building meaning.
Not for trend followers — but for those who create them.

If you carry a vision of a new world —
if you feel that technology and soul don’t have to be enemies —
you may have just found your place.

Here, we are building a new era.

RELATED: I've uploaded a few more upscaled episodes of Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light! Including "The Overthrow of Merklynn", which is an especially fun episode.

I've posted my upscaled versions of the first two episodes of Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light to YouTube! I ended up compromising a little sharpness to keep it from getting too much of that upscale smudginess, and I think it looks pretty good. There's another upload there at the original resolution if you want a before and after. #RetroCartoons #Visionaries #Hasbro #80s #AIUpscaling

Ran the intro to Visionaries through RealESRGAN and the results were good enough that I decided to try the full first episode! Which is on hour 5 or so of processing, fml. I was going to try 1080p but for some reason the model I have for that is screwy so enjoy UHD.

I've absolutely not fallen down a rabbit hole of adding accurate subtitles to my #VisionariesKnightsOfTheMagicalLight DVD encodes right now.

Why do you ask? 😅

#Visionaries #subtitles #nostalgia

I totally didn't just spend nearly an hour adding custom chapter markers for #Visionaries encodes, so that each episode had the intro, main content, & outro listed 😅

Side note: whoever designed the Visionaries DVDs was a right prick.

The numpty (or numpties) split off the intro from each episode as a separate title 🤦‍♀️

They weren't even lacking in free space! There was simply no space-saving need for cutting a ~30 intro at the beginning of each episode!

Just turned the second of these into an animated GIF also 🤭
