We have returned to what is important. Nature, health, recreation and peace. Intact nature, clean air, living together with nature, animals and fellow human beings. We are discovering that it is no longer possible without shared values. Work is understood as a service to our environment and our livelihood. Modesty is once again a virtue. Quality and not quantity counts again. We only have one earth. Without renunciation, we will soon no longer exist. We are suddenly learning that all problems can be solved when we want to. When it is the "we" and not the "I" that counts.

December 31, 2040: After several years of political and economic violence in 2025-2027. Little by little, nations have understood that they must live together, balancing the planet's resources. The consciousness of each individual has on the whole developed, gradually leading to a better understanding of one another. Strangely enough, this collective awareness seems to favor the birth of new ideas. Researchers seem to be able to concretize the use and role of light and sound in our interactions with each other and with the globality of our environments. These discoveries have reduced the fascination and power of the AI system, putting it back in its place as a simple development tool; vocabularies are changing, and the means of communication transformed by the use of light matter and sound waves are harmonizing with the development of other species. If I had written this in 2025, I would have been considered an unrealistic utopian. Yet our current preoccupations, awareness that we still have to discover where we are and what our "usefulness" is in this galactic universe. Faith and belief remain strong, all the more so as our researchers are projecting new fundamental discoveries in 2050. In particular, certain filaments discovered during our olfactory explorations have been identified as beings or doorways?

I would like there to be no more borders, but for everyone to work together, regardless of their origin, skin color, gender or sexuality. Everyone should have the same opportunities and not be judged according to the situation they were born into. There should be no more arms industry, so that no weapons can be produced, and all combat-ready equipment must be disposed of or disarmed and repurposed. Humanity must no longer wage wars and must take better care of itself and the world. More green spaces must be created again and the food supply must be organized in such a way that there are no longer such high losses and everything is distributed fairly.

One major change would be in the education system. Up to the sixth form, teaching would be as usual, except that a pupil would be assigned a personal teacher, specially trained for young children and young people, who would explain difficult subjects to them if necessary. From grade 6 onwards, each pupil, taking into account his future plans and personal interests, would draw up his own personal timetable, with optional subjects, and, if necessary, professional help and support in drawing it up. This would give him or her a better preparation for studying the desired profession. The fact that the student draws up his/her own timetable would give him/her more motivation to learn. Some classes or courses could be online, giving the possibility of a flexible timetable. Once a student reaches upper secondary level, he or she would have the choice between a regular programme of classes, with electives and a flexible timetable, or an intensive programme over one year. This would give the opportunity for inquisitive students, including those who go on to university, to enter the labour market earlier, for example medical students. Schools and classes would be equipped according to the specific needs of age groups. These are just some of the changes that would take place in the education system.
