What a relief we have left behind in the 1920s with all that succession of intertwined crises that seemed impossible to resolve! What a relief that we no longer have to think about whether democracy is in danger or live in the permanent uncertainty of whether there will be a reactionary retreat from everything that cost us so much to win!

Just as we were finally aware of the physical limits of the planet and the doughnut economy succeeded capitalism, we were also aware of the limits of our democracies with mass debates that prevented (at last!) cruel authoritarian demagogues who did not believe in the values of democracy from seizing power again. I don't know how we could live with this permanent anguish... . No more gerontocracies, no more idycracies, no more techno-auritarism, no more perpetuation in power. AI is no longer a private business of billionaires who (finally!) were forced to distribute 90% of their fortune, as had already happened in the 50s of the last century. It has put itself only at the service of solving the great problems of the world. What a relief too that money no longer moves the world!

All this was possible because the Constitution of the Land of Ferrajoli was approved and launched in 2030, the Magna Carta that protected all our global problems. The nature of which we are a part and without which we cannot live is especially protected. The Constitution provides a framework for everything to be solved diplomatically. Since its approval, the wars have ended and the genocidal people of the past have been severely judged. Yesterday we celebrated the feast of #Nevermore.

If I have to describe what life is like now, the word that comes out is calm. Without constant threats to our safety and well-being, day-to-day life is placid.

Racism in humanity would be reduced, and if we accept differences, we would be more accepting of sexual minorities, for example. It is possible to get married anywhere in Europe, regardless of orientation, to anyone except a relative. More action would be taken against bullying, and the police would also be quicker to take action against cyberbullying. Yokane would feel more secure in his own country, especially in his own country, and in the countries he wants to travel to. Jokanen has the right to be courageously exactly what he is. Bullying seems to get worse every year. Illegal things happen all the time. Everyone should start to influence things themselves, with professionals helping those who cannot. Culture doesn't matter, skin colour can be anything, you can still be a really lovely person, you can't say anything about someone without knowing them. Change needs to happen. Acceptance & respect for others is a very important part of humanity.

Warmer weer en toenemende welvaart.
By 2040, we have figured out that the enegy transition as well as the circular economy were naive pipe dreams. Consumption has continued to rise as has the inevitable use of natural resources. As a result, bad summers have basically ceased to exist and once in a while we can have a BBQ at Christmas and organize large outdoor events, increasing the sense of belonging because working life is increasingly taking place at home and AI plays a dominant role in the workplace. Thanks to increased prosperity, people go on vacation more often and drones have totally changed the way warfare is conducted.

My, how long has it been since 2025. The year when things finally started to get better for the earth. It was November 12, my birthday. Blowing out my 45 candles, I made a heartfelt wish from the depths of my soul: "I wish I could save the world!" And here I am, 15 years later. I am now 60 years old, but the life of every human being has improved so much that 60 years is now equivalent to 40 in the 20th century. I have succeeded in stopping wars, eradicating extremism of all kinds, slowing down climate change, and above all, eliminating all kinds of social inequality. There are no longer poor and rich. Each person is free to be what he or she wants to be. Those who want to work can do so and those who do not want to, cannot. No one is forced. Everyone has the same opportunities anyway. Everyone has a house, everyone has food, everyone has electricity, water and internet connection. Everyone has medical care and medicine, and for many diseases a cure has been found, thanks to scientists who have continued to lend their skills with passion. You travel completely free to go anywhere you want, without the need for red tape. You get on a vehicle and go where your heart desires. Since there are no longer any social and economic differences, there is no need for wars. There are no longer the powerful and the weak. We are all equal. This has also helped alleviate problems such as depression, anxiety, violence, alcoholism, etc.... Because no one has anything to worry about anymore. We help each other, expecting nothing in return with the assurance that we will have the same help if we need it. Oil and coal were set aside years ago. Only renewable energy is used. The air smells of flowers, woods, meadow and sea, depending on where you are. Everyone has the same rights. Everyone is free to be who they prefer.

Work revolution
In 2040, the world of work will be totally different from what it is today. Many jobs, especially painful ones, will have disappeared, replaced by machines and artificial intelligence. These technologies will have lowered production costs, and thus the costs of goods and services. The universal income will have been put in place, which means that every citizen will earn the same amount every month, whether he works or not. Those who wish will be able to continue working to enrich themselves or for pleasure and those who prefer to enjoy life will be able to live simply with the sum allocated to them.
