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.

I dream of a Europe where everyone can be themselves. Everyone would be happy, not having to be afraid of other people, terrorists, etc. Everyone would have a job and a home. Health care would be good and easily accessible with a low threshold. Europe should be democratic in its decisions, so that one country, for example, cannot reject the majority's wishes. At present, emigration is the cause of the vast majority of street-level fears (drugs, sex crime, violent crime, etc...) and this needs to be addressed. More police officers are needed to patrol e.g. city centres and suburbs. Training should remain at least at the current level (in Finland) and should continue to be free of charge. It could be easier to move to and make a living in other Member States, to make Europe more coherent. People should be supported to eat healthily, at the moment all cheap food is hollow carbohydrates with no nutritional value. So tax breaks for healthy food.

We all live in a world w here our environment is much better and the forests are slowly coming back to life. There are fewer dead trees because the air is cleaner and less polluted with CO2. We have found various ways of producing less CO2 and removing it from the air. Private transport still exists and it is not just electric cars that are on the road. Overall, cars have become much smaller again because nobody needs such large vehicles anymore. People in large cities are also using bicycles of all kinds much more, so the number and width of roads has been significantly reduced. Everything is much greener. Wind, water and solar energy is widespread and can be produced and stored in sufficient quantities. Coal-fired power plants have been largely abolished and nuclear power has not been developed further. Heating has been reduced to a reasonable level in relation to oil and gas because these options have been significantly improved and produce even fewer emissions. People live much more with each other than against each other. The economy is still doing well because less unnecessary things are produced and goods last much longer and can even be repaired. Agriculture produces in reasonable quantities without doing so in places where, for example, water is not available in sufficient quantities for plants, people and animals.

The future of Europe, I hope, can be oriented toward the pursuit of the least possible environmental impact, the pursuit of scientific progress in the medical field, greater integration among peoples and less financial inequality among people, more attention to civil rights

Pollution would finally be falling, and a real awareness would have taken place everywhere (Europe and the rest of the world). No more active military conflicts in Europe and as few as possible in the rest of the world. Politicians would at last be willing to act for the good of all, and not for their own personal gain. Leaders would take a long-term view and not just look ahead to election dates...
