Lyle Solla-Yates<p>So yes Bill has talked for many years about supporting a positive vision (a bit like my architect former employer Bill McDonough) which I have brought with me in everything I do. It is not enough to be against failure and suffering, we must be for something and then it takes time and work and money to make that good thing happen. <a href="https://cville.online/tags/progress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>progress</span></a></p>

Ashley Halliwell<p><strong>I saw this post yesterday.</strong></p><p><strong>I have some things to say about it. </strong></p><p>Fuck the hardliners, as long as you’re doing your best to be a decent human being, all progress is good progress and the best praxis is to start right now with exactly what you have. There is no single definition of what being a “good leftist” looks like, and even if there WERE, there would need to be accommodations made for disabled people, Mad people, poor people, cultural nuances, etc.. </p><p>Additionally, as an ex Mormon and a cripple punk, I wish leftists who talk like rebranded Christians would understand how nonsensical their takes sound. Nothing will get fixed without real progress and real work from real people, and that involves being patient when people fuck up, working together in community, and actively building a better world together, however we all can contribute, no matter how small. There will be no Revolution without progress made in the first place ffs.</p><p>So if all you could do is survive and take care of yourself today, I think that’s good praxis. Self care is community care, and I’m glad as fuck you’re still here. If all you can do is share memes and news, that’s a form of activism in and of itself, and I think that’s good praxis. If you’re making art, writing things, being a performer or creative in any way, even if you’re only sharing it with your friends, partner(s), and/or family? Art is political. This, too, is good praxis. If you can do more? Badass. That’s also good praxis. Please don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.</p><p> -Allēna</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://opensorceryy.co/tag/anarchy/" target="_blank">#anarchy</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://opensorceryy.co/tag/building-a-better-world/" target="_blank">#buildingABetterWorld</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://opensorceryy.co/tag/cripplepunk/" target="_blank">#CripplePunk</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://opensorceryy.co/tag/disabilities/" target="_blank">#disabilities</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://opensorceryy.co/tag/ex-christian/" target="_blank">#exChristian</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://opensorceryy.co/tag/ex-mormon/" target="_blank">#exMormon</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://opensorceryy.co/tag/leftism/" target="_blank">#leftism</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://opensorceryy.co/tag/neisvoid/" target="_blank">#NEISvoid</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://opensorceryy.co/tag/politics/" target="_blank">#Politics</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://opensorceryy.co/tag/progress/" target="_blank">#progress</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://opensorceryy.co/tag/uspol/" target="_blank">#USPol</a></p>

Futurist Jim Carroll<p>"We are now in the era of confident stupidity! (and it is having a tremendous impact on opportunities for innovation!)"- Futurist Jim Carroll</p><p>Idiocracy, the movie, is a documentary.</p><p>I've been saying for several months now that it's a pretty difficult time to be a futurist. Actually, sometimes it's maddening.</p><p>With that in mind, let's take on the issue of the "confident stupidity" that now surrounds us. The fact is, the rejection of expertise is reshaping business, innovation, and our future, and not in a good way. If you like, you can grab the little 10-page PDF I created - it's here - and share it around.</p><p><a href="https://pdf.jimcarroll.com/The-Arrival-of-Confident-Stupidity.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">pdf.jimcarroll.com/The-Arrival</span><span class="invisible">-of-Confident-Stupidity.pdf</span></a></p><p>And I actually created two versions of the deck - here's the second one with a little more detail. It actually contains this nugget of information - the cost of confident stupidity!</p><p>- $2.8 trillion in lost market value - that's the estimated annual impact of misinformation on companies. Just ask anyone in the solar industry how things are going.<br>- 3.5x - the average delay in the adoption of new technologies and science<br>- 67% trust erosion - that's the decline in trust that people have in scientific institutions in the last decade.</p><p>Yikes.</p><p>What is "confident stupidity"?</p><p>It isn't about a person's intelligence. I'll use the phrase to describe individuals who firmly reject expert knowledge on significant subjects such as science, technology, and health, even when faced with overwhelming evidence.</p><p>This behaviour is not the same as honest questioning or healthy skepticism. It is characterized by the confident dismissal of well-established facts in favour of alternatives that are appealing but false. Examples can be seen across various fields:</p><p>-Climate Change: Rejecting many decades of climate science, despite a 99% agreement among experts.<br>-Vaccines: Dismissing the medical consensus on the safety and effectiveness of vaccines.<br>- Technology: Claiming that proven innovations like solar power and electric vehicles (EVs) are "failures".</p><p>It's bad, and getting worse.</p><p>With all this, the business impact is already here. Companies are losing contracts, people are losing jobs, and industries are being sent into an almost irreversible decline. Much of this didn’t need to happen.</p><p>Read the rest of the post.</p><p>----</p><p>Futurist Jim Carroll is baffled by the mindset of many of the people he meets.</p><p>**<a href="https://mastodon.futurist.info/tags/Stupidity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Stupidity</span></a>** **<a href="https://mastodon.futurist.info/tags/Expertise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Expertise</span></a>** **<a href="https://mastodon.futurist.info/tags/Misinformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Misinformation</span></a>** **<a href="https://mastodon.futurist.info/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Science</span></a>** **<a href="https://mastodon.futurist.info/tags/Innovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Innovation</span></a>** **<a href="https://mastodon.futurist.info/tags/Trust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trust</span></a>** **<a href="https://mastodon.futurist.info/tags/Rejection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Rejection</span></a>** **<a href="https://mastodon.futurist.info/tags/Knowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Knowledge</span></a>** **<a href="https://mastodon.futurist.info/tags/Progress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Progress</span></a>** **<a href="https://mastodon.futurist.info/tags/Future" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Future</span></a>**</p><p>Original post: <a href="https://jimcarroll.com/2025/09/decoding-tomorrow-your-daily-future-inspiration-misinformation-and-innovation-we-are-now-in-the-era-of-confident-stupidity/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">jimcarroll.com/2025/09/decodin</span><span class="invisible">g-tomorrow-your-daily-future-inspiration-misinformation-and-innovation-we-are-now-in-the-era-of-confident-stupidity/</span></a></p>
