A first look at the #underground visit to the Sanford Underground Research Facility. We arrived early in the morning to gear up and then catch a 07:30 cage (elevator) to the 4850ft level. We then rode a tram on a rail line from the Yates Shaft and the “Davis Campus” of the lab over to the “Ross Campus”, where the DUNE (Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment) will be constructed.

"There's always time to redefine your success from what you have done to what you plan to do!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

I've always believed that true success isn't about what you've done – it's about what you plan to do next.

Let me share some thoughts on how you can redefine success in your own life:

Embrace continuous learning. The world changes at lightning speed these days. Your past accomplishments are valuable, but they're not your ticket to future success or happiness! To truly thrive, become relentlessly curious and eager to teach yourself something new every day. Build your "experiential capital" by jumping into fresh challenges that prepare you for whatever comes next.

Challenge the assumptions you have used to define yourself. We all develop mental scripts about what success should look like. Take a moment to question these beliefs! Ask yourself: "Am I chasing this goal just because it's what I've always done or what others expect?" Don't get trapped in the "we've always done it this way" mindset. It might be time to write your own personal definition of success.

Focus on growing. Instead of defining success by achievements alone, think about how you're growing as a person. Are you gaining new skills? Expanding your understanding? Evolving into someone you're proud to be? True success is the journey of personal transformation, not just reaching destinations.

Maintain a future-positive mindset. Always focus on opportunity, not threat. When redefining success, adopt this same positive outlook! Rather than dwelling on past wins or losses, get excited about future possibilities. The most innovative people I've met share this trait – they see potential where others see problems.

Get unstuck. Too many of us get stuck in endless planning without action. Redefining success means actually pressing "play" on your ideas instead of just thinking about them. Take that first step, however small, toward your new vision of success. The future belongs to those who take action, not those who merely contemplate it.

Reinvent regularly. The traditional career ladder is rapidly fading. We're moving toward "itinerant careers" and "active life-design" where you can blend personal passions with making a living. Success might mean creating a flexible, fulfilling path that doesn't look like anyone else's. The question changes from "what do you do?" to "what do you love to do?"

In the end, redefining success is about switching from constantly looking in the rearview mirror to focusing on the road ahead. It's about being proactive, embracing change, challenging yourself, spotting opportunities, and having the courage to pursue what truly matters to you.

If you attend or work at a school, are you able to access and use Discord from that school's network? If you have any specific caveats, choose the “partial” answer and share more in a reply.

Feel free to boost widely; I'd love a wide sample! :)

When it comes to search, why can't we use quote marks to find specific text anymore? At least in the U.S., search has become atrociously bad. Even within a particular website like Inc.com the search is broken. No ability to sort by publication date. Finding a particular headline doesn't work. Just garbage 🚯
So this isn't a matter of material volume/processing load, but enshittification thanks to capitalism?

Autistic folks tend to appreciate clear, unambigious communication. It can be hard to tell when somebody is being coy or sarcastic, or using passive language because they don't want to ask for what they need or want.

Autistics can also be INCREDIBLY empathetic. For example, one might really love poetry, a great metaphor. It's helpful to let the the person know you're doing this in advance.

"Remorse we can feel. Regret is what we live. But consequence is what lingers" - Futurist Jim Carroll

Let's talk about the science of regret.

I mean, why not?

It seems like a timely topic.

And I've most recently covered The Science of Stupidity and The Science of Mistakes.

So why not The Science of Regret?

I'm on a roll here. Buyers remorse and all that.

What should we know about regret? What should we understand about its nature, impact, and how our brains process it? After all, we might find ourselves around people (at this moment in time, in particular) who are deep in their emotions of regret, and are now thinking about the consequences.

First, what is the definition and nature of regret? I asked Google Notebook after pulling in a large number of articles and YouTube videos related to the science of regret.

"Regret is a negative emotion stemming from a disappointing life event, unchangeable choices, or things said that can't be taken back. It is a painful experience that includes blaming ourselves for a bad outcome.

Ok, that makes sense.

It went on:

- It's a complex emotion involving sorrow and responsibility for the consequences of one's actions.

- Regret is related to choice; it is felt when a wrong decision is made and one wishes they had decided differently.

- Feelings of regret show increased activity in the medial orbitofrontal cortex of the brain.

OK, since it might seem there is some regret unfolding around some areas of the world right now, faster than ever before, what can we understand about the emotions of those who are going through it? The answer is ... um ... interesting.

How Regret Differs From Other Emotions:

- Regret involves comparison and blame, differing from disappointment, which lacks the element of personal fault.

- While guilt is responsibility for specific wrongdoing and shame is a feeling of being flawed, regret combines elements of both, along with a desire to rectify harm.

...along with a desire to rectify harm... that sounds promising.

But wait. There's a lot more about the science of regret that might help you understand today's world.
