Guido Stevens<p>I'm re-launching my future-oriented blog Dark Edge, tracking the unfolding of the polycrisis. I write about systems resilience in the face of collapse, and digital autonomy as a way to take back control over the technology that surrounds us.</p><p>I’m writing about economics and limits to growth, ecopsychology and adaptation, and am working on another track about AI and the philosophy of technology. The consistent focus in my reading and writing is at the intersection of technology, capitalism and ecological destruction; and how to engage with all of that without getting stuck. Or even with getting stuck, falling down and getting up again. It’s all in the game.</p><p>Have a look, and tell me what you think.</p><p><a href="https://darkedge.world/posts/facing_the_abyss_relaunching_dark_edge/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">darkedge.world/posts/facing_th</span><span class="invisible">e_abyss_relaunching_dark_edge/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/collapse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>collapse</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ecocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ecocide</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/adaptation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>adaptation</span></a></p>
Futurist Jim Carroll<p>Megatrend **#30** - The Acceleration Paradox: "As change accelerates exponentially, our challenge is to steer this incredible power toward a more humane and hopeful future, rather than increasing the destructive impacts we've seen so far!" - Futurist Jim Carroll</p><p>(Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series on 30 Megatrends, which he first outlined in his book Dancing in the Rain: How Bold Leaders Grow Stronger in Stormy Times. The trends were shared in the book as a way of demonstrating that, despite any period of economic volatility, there is always long-term opportunity to be found. The book is now in print - learn more at dancing.jimcarroll.com)</p><p>We live in a time of incredible promise and yet one of terrible peril.</p><p>We are the most advanced species we have ever been, and yet, we are ultimately capable of not living up to the demands for success that history places upon us.</p><p>It seems that we are failing the test.</p><p>As someone who has built his career on. The issue of speed - how leaders can align to it, companies can adapt to it, and people can respond to it - I thought it fitting that the final megatrend in my series should have to do with this issue. Right now, accelerating technological change is reshaping our world, creating unprecedented progress and fueling significant societal instability and risk. The coming decade will intensify this trend, demanding we adapt to steer progress and manage systemic risks.</p><p>So what's it all about? The world is changing at an unprecedented pace, a phenomenon I call the Acceleration Paradox. We are witnessing not just incremental progress but an exponential surge in technological capabilities that presents both incredible opportunities and profound challenges. Put it another way, we're doing well at discovering new things, but aren't good at dealing with the reality of those things.

The changes have forced agriculture to adapt in sometimes surprising ways. </p><p>"Now that winters are milder, it has become commonplace for Vermont orchards to grow peaches. Nick Cowles owns Shelburne Orchards, and 35 years ago, he saw a bedraggled peach tree at a hardware store and bought it on a whim. Since then — especially in more recent years — peaches have become a lucrative addition to his business. </p><p>"Peach trees like rain, and so the increased precipitation in Vermont does not bother them. Historically, temperatures posed a problem for peach-growing.</p><p>" 'It takes around 15-17 degrees below zero in the winter to kill the bud, and it used to be that there would be a stretch in the winter that we would get those temperatures. I figured we would get a peach crop maybe every third year,' Cowles said.</p><p>"Now, he said, 'it’s rare that they freeze out.'</p><p>"Innovation is also making Vermont a more peach-friendly place. </p><p>"Farmers have used new technology to develop more cold-hardy peach varieties, Cowles said, and he now has trees that ripen at different times so that the picking lasts longer and brings in more customers. </p><p>"In Ferrisburgh, Erik Andrus has turned his hayfields into rice paddies. </p><p>"His Boundbrook Farm uses the rice-and-duck farming technique, a pesticide-free method in which ducklings are released into rice paddies. They control weeds and pests — and provide fertilizer. </p><p>"The farm mostly grows cold-tolerant rice varieties from Japan, which sits at a similar latitude to Vermont, but has recently started to grow loto rice from Italy. </p><p>"The farm once accidentally planted Koshihikari, a variety of Japanese rice poorly suited to the cold. It did eventually mature, but not until October, which Andrus said was 'a little bit of a nailbiter.'</p><p>"Floods and droughts appear to be striking Vermont more frequently, but the rice grown at Boundbrook Farm is fairly immune to both, Andrus said. </p><p>"The plants can be underwater for two days without being harmed, and the grains are protected by a husk that means they won’t be contaminated by pollution from floodwaters. Because the varieties can be planted in floodplains, they can get water even during droughts. </p><p>"Andrus said 'flood-prone bottomlands' are the best places to create rice paddies. Vermont has many such areas, and rice could represent a path forward for farms impacted by flooding. </p><p>"He works as a consultant at Cornell University, where a team of researchers is studying rice-farming techniques in the Hudson Valley. They are also offering workshops and creating resources for farmers. </p><p>"But nothing like that exists in Vermont, and acquiring the tools, seeds and knowledge to create and manage a rice paddy without help is unrealistic for most farmers here. </p><p>"Andy Jones, the manager of Burlington’s Intervale Community Farm, said it has become easier to grow crops that like it warm: peppers, eggplants, melons, sweet potatoes. </p><p>"The member-owned farm has also seen increased yields of cold-weather spinach, lettuce and kale grown in unheated greenhouses in the winter. The flip side is that, for several weeks in the summer, the farm has had to stop growing some of those crops because it gets too hot."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://vtcommunitynews.org/2025/06/26/the-surprising-shifts-climate-change-is-bringing-to-vermont-farms-rice-paddies-peaches-saffron/?mc_cid=1d065a9014&amp;mc_eid=5de91b9c6b" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">vtcommunitynews.org/2025/06/26</span><span class="invisible">/the-surprising-shifts-climate-change-is-bringing-to-vermont-farms-rice-paddies-peaches-saffron/?mc_cid=1d065a9014&amp;mc_eid=5de91b9c6b</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPunkSunday</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Adaptation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Adaptation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChangeFarming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChangeFarming</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChangeGardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChangeGardening</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BuildingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BuildingCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GrowYourOwnFood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GrowYourOwnFood</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GrowYourOwn</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FoodSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VermontAgriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VermontAgriculture</span></a></p>

The trends were shared in the book as a way of demonstrating that, despite any period of economic volatility, there is always long-term opportunity to be found. The book is now in print - learn more at dancing.jimcarroll.com)</p><p>We are witnessing the simultaneous elimination of traditional roles and the emergence of entirely new professions. Organizations that can navigate this transition, focusing on re-skilling existing talent while attracting new capabilities, will have extraordinary advantages. The trend is being accelerated to a ridiculous speed as the impact of AI takes hold.</p><p>It's "The Great Rebalancing" of the global workforce, and here's the full PDF report.</p><p><a href="https://pdf.jimcarroll.com/Megatrend21-CareerRebalancing.pd" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">pdf.jimcarroll.com/Megatrend21</span><span class="invisible">-CareerRebalancing.pd</span></a></p><p>We all know that jobs and careers are changing, but do we know how much? And how fast?</p><p>Hint: It's bigger than you think, and will happen faster than you are prepared for.</p><p>We've all become familiar with this trend, but suddenly, with the arrival and acceleration of AI, the speed of the change is now picking up the pace. What we thought might have been decades away - the disappearance of many careers and the rapid emergence of new careers - will now take years rather than decades. What's happening is this: there are now several simultaneous, accelerating trends at work involving demographics and technology:</p><p>- a demographic crisis in developed nations (a shrinking workforce)<br>- this creates a powerful incentive for technological adoption<br>- labor shortages are counteracted by AI productivity gains<br>- resulting in a desire or need to accelerate AI adoption to maintain economic viability<br>- which fundamentally challenges society to reskill the human workforce to effectively collaborate with machines!</p><p>How big a trend is this? Let's quantify the crunch. There are a tremendous number of studies and reports, but one rough estimate suggests that between 2025 and 2030, we will see:</p><p>- 170 million new jobs created globally<br>- 92 million existing roles displaced<br>- That's a net increase of 78 million jobs (a 7% expansion)<br>- This "labor-market churn" equals 22% of today's employment<br>- This means that early 1 in 4 existing jobs will be part of this massive rebalancing!</p><p>So what do you do?</p><p>Buckle up!

From the UNEP Adaptation Gap Report 2024 (Nov 7 2024)

"Countries report progress in implementing their NAPs, but all countries that assessed their adequacy and effectiveness found that the scale and speed at which adaptation is happening is inadequate in light of mounting climatic risks."

Report: unep.org/resources/adaptation-

UNEP - UN Environment ProgrammeAdaptation Gap Report 2024As climate impacts intensify and hit the world’s poorest, The Adaptation Gap Report 2024: Come hell and high water finds that nations must dramatically increase climate adaptation efforts, starting with a commitment to act on finance.
