dw.comIn Madrid, Spaniards find novel ways to escape the heat – DW – 08/07/2025To cope with another summer of record heat, residents of Madrid are staying hydrated using misting systems and dressing lightly. And for when that's not enough, they can go to designated "climate shelters" that offer a cool, air-conditioned space.

“‘Later’ is the graveyard where great ideas go to die!” — Futurist Jim Carroll

I continue to get a great reaction from folks who have bought copies of two of my books, Embracing Mediocrity and Escaping Mediocrity - so much so that in the fall, I'm going to make it a trilogy when I pull together the third book, Eradicating Mediocrity!

There's a reason I wrote both books (and why I will write the third) - I've seen a lot of innovation efforts go off the rails, and I've documented that in all the various books I wrote along the way. These two books helped, in a fun way, what I've learned, and what we should do about it. The fact is, I've spent over 30 years on stages around the world, from NASA to Disney, talking about the future. And if there's one timeless truth I've observed, it's this: People who say "I'll do it tomorrow" never arrive there in good shape.

That isn't just a catchy phrase; it's a fundamental barrier to success in the high-velocity economy we live in. Delay is a decision. Inaction is a strategy. And both are recipes for failure. Need more recipes? Dive into the books like many others have.

The theme I cover in the books isn't something new - it's battle-tested insight covered in many of my books, many of which you can find over at books.by.jimcarroll.com

I dug into some of these past works to pick up on where I've covered this reality, and it's been a key theme!

Because if you keep saying "I'll do it tomorrow," you'll find that the future has already happened without you.

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

(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)

We live in a time of incredible promise and yet one of terrible peril.

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.

It seems that we are failing the test.

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.

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. Your PDF for the full report is here.

We are, as they say, living in the best of times, but doing our best to make it the worst of times!

Let's start here by considering just a few of the things around us that keep moving faster, and then consider how it is all going off the rails as entire nations turn their back on the promise of tomorrow.

Futurist Jim Carroll has focused on the issue of 'speed' in many of his books: The Future Belongs to Those Who Are Fast; Thing Big, Start Small, Scale Fast; and Ready, Set Done. Even his book, What I Learned from Frogs in Texas, featured a quirky story of what happens when you don't align yourself with the speed of change.

From now on, everything that was on the internet, everything that was beyond its reach...
All of it has passed into the epoch of history, like photos, artists, and musicians.
People became so infected by the algorithm of the cool Wikipedia that they started calling it intelligence.
Maybe I, stuck in the era of the 2000s/2010s, remember it as a lively and humane time...

🐝 Sometimes what bothers us most isn’t the noise itself, but what it’s trying to tell us.

Small presences we can’t ignore, not because they matter… but because they carry something we don’t want to face.
