Futurist Jim Carroll<p>"Remorse we can feel. Regret is what we live. But consequence is what lingers" - Futurist Jim Carroll</p><p>Let's talk about the science of regret.</p><p>I mean, why not?</p><p>It seems like a timely topic.</p><p>And I've most recently covered The Science of Stupidity and The Science of Mistakes.</p><p>So why not The Science of Regret?</p><p>I'm on a roll here. Buyers remorse and all that.</p><p>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)&nbsp;who are deep in their emotions of regret, and are now thinking about the consequences.</p><p>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.</p><p>"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.</p><p>Ok, that makes sense.</p><p>It went on:</p><p>- It's a complex emotion involving sorrow and responsibility for the consequences of one's actions.</p><p>- Regret is related to choice; it is felt when a wrong decision is made and one wishes they had decided differently.</p><p>- Feelings of regret show increased activity in the medial orbitofrontal cortex of the brain.</p><p>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.</p><p>How Regret Differs From Other Emotions:</p><p>- Regret involves comparison and blame, differing from disappointment, which lacks the element of personal fault.</p><p>- 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.</p><p>...along with a desire to rectify harm... that sounds promising.</p><p>But wait. There's a lot more about the science of regret that might help you understand today's world.</p><p>**<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Regret" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Regret</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Consequences" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Consequences</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Psychology</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Reflection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reflection</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Remorse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Remorse</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Growth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Growth</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Decisions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Decisions</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Emotions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Emotions</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Learning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Learning</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Redemption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Redemption</span></a>**</p><p>Original post: <a href="https://jimcarroll.com/2025/03/daily-inspiration-understanding-decisions-remorse-we-can-feel-regret-is-what-we-live-but-consequence-is-what-lingers/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">jimcarroll.com/2025/03/daily-i</span><span class="invisible">nspiration-understanding-decisions-remorse-we-can-feel-regret-is-what-we-live-but-consequence-is-what-lingers/</span></a></p>
Futurist Jim Carroll<p>"People only understand the full impact of their gravest mistake once they fully experience its painful aftermath." Futurist Jim Carroll</p><p>It seems pretty certain that a lot of folks are quickly coming to discover there are big implications to certain decisions.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>I dug into the report and a few other sources about the neurological and other basis for mistakes, and discovered some fascinating things. </p><p>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.</p><p>Let's dig in - because these can be valuable innovation &amp; leadership lessons. They might also provide some insight into how we found ourselves in this volatile year.</p><p>It's pretty clear to countless people that 2025 is the year of the big mistake.</p><p>Carefully study today's post quote.</p><p>You'll know what I mean.</p><p>Read the full post.</p><p><a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Mistakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mistakes</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Learning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Learning</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Growth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Growth</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Consequences" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Consequences</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Awareness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Awareness</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Repetition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Repetition</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Neuroplasticity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Neuroplasticity</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Innovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Innovation</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Psychology</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Reflection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reflection</span></a></p><p>Original post: <a href="https://jimcarroll.com/2025/02/daily-inspiration-into-2025-people-only-understand-the-full-impact-of-their-gravest-mistake-once-they-fully-experience-its-painful-aftermath/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">jimcarroll.com/2025/02/daily-i</span><span class="invisible">nspiration-into-2025-people-only-understand-the-full-impact-of-their-gravest-mistake-once-they-fully-experience-its-painful-aftermath/</span></a></p>
