Futurist Jim Carroll

"People only understand the full impact of their gravest mistake once they fully experience its painful aftermath." Futurist Jim Carroll

It seems pretty certain that a lot of folks are quickly coming to discover there are big implications to certain decisions.

I won't belabor the point, since we'll probably spend a good part of the year watching folks in the circumstance that fits the reality to be found in today's quote.

Intrigued with this state of affairs, I decided to go off and explore the science of mistakes. And wouldn't you know it -there is a scientific report about the science of mistakes called, well, The Science of Mistakes.

I dug into the report and a few other sources about the neurological and other basis for mistakes, and discovered some fascinating things.

First and foremost, mistakes that are good for you. But they can also be bad for you. Not only that, some people repeat the same bad mistakes over and over again, never learning from those mistakes until some real damage has been done.

Let's dig in - because these can be valuable innovation & leadership lessons. They might also provide some insight into how we found ourselves in this volatile year.

It's pretty clear to countless people that 2025 is the year of the big mistake.

Carefully study today's post quote.

You'll know what I mean.

“There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature - the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”
― Rachel Carson, The Sense of Wonder

I keep walking to that same spot at the edge of the field, knowing exactly where to stand in those few meters and waiting at the last moment to turn my head to the right, knowing exactly what I will see. And yet the view is amazing every time. I have dozens of roughly similar photos of this wave of trees but which are also unique depending on the seasons, the light and the activities in the field. I love to travel and see new landscapes but I also agree with Rachel Carson: there is something extremely reassuring and calming about repetition and consistency, not only in nature, but in photography and life.

The "Wave" in May, July, October 2024 and February 2025.

Photograph of a hilly green field bordered by green forest, coming like a wave from the left of the picture, under a blue sky with white clouds over the horizon at the right of the trees.
Photograph of a golden field, bordered by green forest coming like a wave from the left of the picture, under a soft yellow light and blue cloudy sky.
Photograph of a hilly green field bordered by a red, yellow and green forest, coming like a wave from the left of the picture, under a very blue sky with small white clouds at the right of the trees.
Photograph of a hilly white and snow covered field bordered by a forest of leafless trees and green conifers, coming like a wave from the left of the picture, under a very pale blue and cloudy sky.

A quotation from Millay, Edna St. Vincent:

«
It’s not true that life is one damn thing after another — it’s one damn thing over & over — there’s the rub — first you get sick — then you get sicker — then you get not quite so sick — then you get hardly sick at all — then you get a little sicker — then you get a lot sicker — then you get not q…

Semantic satiation is the common psychological phenomenon in which repetition causes a word or phrase to temporarily lose its meaning for the listener, who then perceives the message as little more than repeated sounds.

This image comes from a scene in Ted Lasso where Ted accidentally says the word 'plan' too many times in a short timespan, causing his brain's association with the word to lose value.
