Should meetings be efficient? Efficient business meetings make sense, but designing conferences to be efficient is largely counterproductive.

Megatrend **#21** - Career Obsolesence and Creation: "As technology redefines work, our most valuable skill becomes our uniquely human ability to learn, adapt, and create."- 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 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.
It's "The Great Rebalancing" of the global workforce, and here's the full PDF report.

We all know that jobs and careers are changing, but do we know how much? And how fast?
Hint: It's bigger than you think, and will happen faster than you are prepared for.
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:
- a demographic crisis in developed nations (a shrinking workforce)
- this creates a powerful incentive for technological adoption
- labor shortages are counteracted by AI productivity gains
- resulting in a desire or need to accelerate AI adoption to maintain economic viability
- which fundamentally challenges society to reskill the human workforce to effectively collaborate with machines!
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:
- 170 million new jobs created globally
- 92 million existing roles displaced
- That's a net increase of 78 million jobs (a 7% expansion)
- This "labor-market churn" equals 22% of today's employment
- This means that early 1 in 4 existing jobs will be part of this massive rebalancing!
So what do you do?
Buckle up! Get involved! Keep learning!

Gerade Kundengespräch gehabt. Der Kunde war nicht begeistert und will demnächst die Sachen alleine machen.
Also so ist das manchmal. Dinge funktionieren gut oder Dinge funktionieren nicht so gut.
This paper by Raju et al. proposes a unified model – “clone‑structured causal #graphs” (#CSCG) – for #hippocampal #SpatialCoding. It suggests that #SpatialMaps arise from #learning #latent higher‑order sequences rather than representing #EuclideanSpace directly. The model elegantly explains phenomena like #PlaceFields, #SplitterCells, #contextual #remapping, and predicts when #PlaceFieldMapping may mislead.

A quotation from Douglas Adams
What I mean is that if you really want to understand something, the best way is to try and explain it to someone else. That forces you to sort it out in your mind. And the more slow and dim-witted your pupil, the more you have to break things down into more and more simple ideas. And that’s really the essence of programming. By the time you’ve sorted out a complicated idea into little steps that even a stupid machine can deal with, you’ve learned something about it yourself.
Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humourist, screenwriter

I have mostly finished my Catalan studies for the course (one class remains due to schedule issues), and I am willing to get up to a B1 level during 2026, but for the rest of the year I want to do something new.
I feel like going back to programming could be nice, but I have a huge imposter syndrome since I have tried 2 times already to master Golang as my main language.
Ansible could be cool, since I have Jeff Geerling's book.
On a more non-tech scope, I wanted to learn longboarding (after my injury last year) or drawing both digital and traditional.
I am open to suggestions on any of these ideas, or facts to help me decide, because my mind is filled with anxiety related to decission making this year.
