NonilexEarlier this week, <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/NSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NSF</a> leadership also introduced a new policy directing staff members to screen <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/grant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#grant</a> proposals for “topics or activities that may not be in alignment with agency priorities”. Proposals judged not “in alignment” must be returned to the applicants by NSF employees. The policy has not been made public but was described in documents seen by Nature.<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/BrainDrain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BrainDrain</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/AntiIntellectualism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AntiIntellectualism</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#censorship</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#research</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/innovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#innovation</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/progress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#progress</a>

Futurist Jim Carroll"In a time of uncertainty, fear is cheap. Hope is powerful." - Futurist Jim CarrollThroughout my career, I've often made fun of many motivational speakers. I certainly see a lot of them - they are often on the agenda with me at the conferences and events at which I speak. And look, there are some really good ones - they could motivate you to run across the Sahara in a bathing suit while eating broccoli. At the same time, many just have a bit of a schtick. I find they are a little bit like Chinese food - you are wildly surprised and super-motivated for an hour and then kind of forget about it. And besides, I don't think walking on fire bricks can make you a better person.With that bit of cynicism out of the way - and I'm sure they can lob lots right back at us futurists - I will admit that I have billed myself for a time as a "motivational futurist." That's not a stretch - after all, my job is not just to help people understand the trends that define tomorrow, but to give them some motivation as to what to do to get there.That type of thing is also the role of anyone in any type of leadership position - your job is to motivate people to align with what comes next. The simple facts behind this reality are simple. Leaders lead. They set the tone. They establish the vision. They guide the path forward. They motivate their team. They inspire them to do what's necessary. Leadership is all about lifting people up, and not letting fear drag them down.And all of this becomes ten times more important during a time of volatility, chaos, and uncertainty. Why? In a downturn, people lose sight of the future because of fear and uncertainty. The lack of clarity and the relentless pounding of news headlines and social media posts means that fear is accentuated.Think about it: everyone on the team is worried, cautious, and seeking clarity—at a time when clarity is in short supply. They're confused, stressed, and looking for signs of guidance. Without it, they spin their wheels. In times of uncertainty, this becomes a deadly mix:- fear spreads faster than facts. - caution hardens into paralysis. - people stop moving toward opportunity—and start freezing around problems. - without strong leadership, a team’s mindset collapses inward. - the survival instinct takes over. - momentum evaporates.That's why, in a downturn, the most important role of a leader in this circumstance is to fill in the gaps - the gaps in confidence, courage, clarity, and commitment.--- Futurist Jim Carroll still considers himself to be a motivational futurist, but doesn’t suggest that people walk on fire stones to find their tomorrow.**<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Hope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hope</a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Leadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Leadership</a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Motivation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Motivation</a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Fear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fear</a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Uncertainty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Uncertainty</a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Vision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vision</a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Momentum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Momentum</a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Future" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Future</a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Progress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Progress</a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Empathy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Empathy</a>**Original post: <a href="https://jimcarroll.com/2025/04/decoding-tomorrow-your-daily-future-inspiration-in-a-time-of-uncertainty-fear-is-cheap-hope-is-powerful/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://jimcarroll.com/2025/04/decoding-tomorrow-your-daily-future-inspiration-in-a-time-of-uncertainty-fear-is-cheap-hope-is-powerful/</a>

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸Here’s a thought: Canada needs to pivot away from USA industry not because of Trump, though that is reason enough, but because the USA no longer represents the top science and industrial competitiveness in the world. (And hasn’t for a long time).Case in point: China is now producing batteries that are far ahead of current North American tech. <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/canpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#canpoli</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/cdnpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cdnpoli</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/progress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#progress</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/industry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#industry</a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#education</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/@kibcol1049/114398972291048598" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mstdn.social/@kibcol1049/114398972291048598</a>

Futurist Jim Carroll"Speed beats hesitation. Especially when the path isn't clear." - Futurist Jim CarrollIn a downturn, momentum matters more than perfection. Delay costs more than missteps. The biggest risk isn’t moving too fast—it’s moving too slow while the world speeds up.And yet, In times of uncertainty, the most natural instinct of all is to wait. Wait for the data. Wait for a signal. Wait until the noise settles, the picture clarifies, and the next steps feel obvious. But here’s what too many leaders forget - the path forward doesn’t get clearer by standing still, it gets clearer by moving.We are deep into a moment when the cost of indecision is far greater than the cost of action, and the trap of your 'aggressive indecision' becomes more significant every day. I've seen it play out countless times: a moment of economic volatility hits, and leadership teams and people fall into a state in which they decide the easiest decision to make is to simply .... not make them.It’s not that they don’t care. It’s that they overthink things. They fritter away time in endless meetings. They chase every scenario. They wait for perfect timing. They pause strategic initiatives. They delay customer-facing launches. They stall their momentum—believing they’re being cautious when in reality, they’re just stuck. And so in a world in which the future belongs to those who are fast, they slow down.And while they stall? Markets shift. Competitors move Talent gets restless. Customers look elsewhere. That's the wrong thing to do - history favors the decisive, and who move at the speed demanded by fast-changing circumstances.Data backs this up. A comprehensive Harvard Business Review study of 4,700 public companies over three recessions found that the top performers weren’t the ones who paused—they were the ones who acted strategically, quickly, and with confidence. Only 9% of companies outperformed their peers after a downturn—and they did it by balancing discipline with decisive moves at speed. A McKinsey study found the same: companies that moved first and fast during a downturn consistently gained market share during the recovery.In short? While caution may feel responsible, the real risk lies in hesitation.Doing nothing often costs far more than doing something imperfectly.So what should you do? Start moving. Fast. Start moving before you’re ready - simply because you know that speed matters.---- Futurist Jim Carroll recognizes that moving at speed matters and that with this period of uncertainty set to linger for quite some time, a book to help leaders dance through the rain is timely.**<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Speed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Speed</a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Indecision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Indecision</a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Action" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Action</a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Momentum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Momentum</a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Uncertainty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Uncertainty</a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Leadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Leadership</a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Strategy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Strategy</a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Agility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Agility</a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Opportunities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Opportunities</a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Progress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Progress</a>**Original post: <a href="https://jimcarroll.com/2025/04/decoding-tomorrow-your-daily-future-inspiration-speed-beats-hesitation-especially-when-the-path-isnt-clear/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://jimcarroll.com/2025/04/decoding-tomorrow-your-daily-future-inspiration-speed-beats-hesitation-especially-when-the-path-isnt-clear/</a>
