"Never trade your future reputation for a short-term paycheck" - 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.
--When you are working on your own, you are tempted to chase every single opportunity - but often,you should question if you should.
Think about it - in the global freelance economy, the temptation is to be a mercenary. To chase the quick win, the easy gig, or the trendy buzzword that pays today but disappears tomorrow. But in my 36-year voyage, I’ve learned that the Infinite Pivot is only possible if you plan to make sure your reputation is one of your most important assets.
In my career, I’ve walked away from lucrative opportunities because they didn't align with what I thought I should be doing. I’ve turned down gigs that would have compromised my voice for a short-term gain - those that were from obvious hustlers promoting conferences or events that seemed rather shady or dubious. Why? Because when the world shifts—and it always does—your only real security is the integrity of your long-term perspective.
A few weeks ago, I turned down an inquiry from a tobacco company. A few years back, I told a client I wouldn't take on the topic they wanted around cryptocurrency because I thought they were pretty unrealistic with what they wanted me to promise. (I turned out to be right.) I've passed on certain healthcare events where the topic bordered on fraud. Beyond that, I feel pretty confident to say that I can easily discern a hustler as soon as they start talking with me or send an email. It's an invaluable skill.
Short-termism is a trap. It makes you a slave to the current market cycle, or being associated with things you shouldn't be associated with.
Most profound pivots don't happen in a vacuum; they happen because you’ve spent 30 years building a foundation of trust. People don't just listen to me because of the data; they listen because I’ve been consistently right about the direction of the curve for three and a half decades. That kind of authority can't be bought; it can only be built, stone by stone.
When you build for the long term, the short-term disruptions become minor weather events rather than catastrophic storms.

Say farewell to luck when winning: it is the way of the gamblers of reputation: quite as important as a gallant advance is a well-planned retreat, wherefore lock up your winnings when they are enough, or when great.

A Note on “Security” for the #FOSS Crew
We need to have a clearer, more grounded conversation about “security” and what it actually means in the context of the #openweb. There is a long history of thinking in #FOSS spaces that security is something we can solve purely technically: better encryption, better protocols, better architectures. But in everyday life and practice, people need to work from a much simpler starting point - We do not trust client–server security. We only meaningfully trust what can be verified through […]https://hamishcampbell.com/a-note-on-security-to-the-foss-crew/

7.10: Ariel & Christina Discuss the Solarpunk Merits of Walkaway by Cory Doctorow
Cory Doctorow’s 2017 novel Walkaway has a reputation in solarpunk circles as a great example of a solarpunk lifestyle, and a must-read book for everyone from the individual who lives and breathes solarpunk to the solarpunk-curious to general science fiction fans. But what is it about Walkaway that gives it solarpunk cred? Ariel and Christina ponder this, discussing features of the novel that could be considered solarpunk, and some that might be more post-cyberpunk than anything, and how some of the ideologies and technologies are or have been applied in our present world. Is the world of Walkaway an achievable solarpunk paradise, or a nice hopeful story featuring very cool gadgets and bites of lefty philosophy? Or something else entirely? What is the draw, here, anyway? Join us to think through some of the quandaries and ideas the book raises.
