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.

Finalmente un Europa unita
As we talk nowadays about the problems in Europe,the lack of unity common strategies and diminishing importance in the world,I hope that in 2040 we will finally find a union,where there are no longer individual states,but we will have a continent modeled after the United States,where we will have a single parliament,and we will all vote together to elect it.We will all have the same laws,fewer politicians,and a more streamlined and efficient system,where the best politicians from each country can run for office. In this way,we will be able to compete with world powers and emerging powers. Today it seems difficult to achieve,but I believe it is the only way we can look to the future with hope. Of course,I hope that this will happen long before 2040,and that in those years we will remember the difficulties of today,which made us unite and complete the European project.

Jutro 2040
The sun was just rising over Paris, or the castle had been awake for several Saturdays. People were quietly shaking floating capsules, and pedestrian zones were covered with intelligent pavements that bought energy from the stride of the proles. It was the 10th of March 2040, and Europe had become a continent of sustainability and technological harmony. I woke up in my home in Amsterdam, where the walls were changing the struggle for my position. Jutarnju kavu pripremila mi je kućna AI asistentica Mira, koja je već znala da chcesz dupli espresso. At the business, in the renewable energy laboratory, we were working on a new solar power system that could provide security for even the smallest rural communities.I travelled to Brussels for the European Summit on the Hyperloop superfast train. Since fossil-fuel aircraft have been banned, such journeys have become faster, cleaner and more affordable. The meeting was devoted to the new law on the rights of humanoid robots - an issue that was as important as people's rights.While I was in the kitchen in the evening, I looked at the hologram messages. The front page celebrated a new development: Europe has become the first continent with a plunging circular economy, where nothing is lost but everything is regained. I thought: maybe the future is not a dystopia after all, but a world that we have built together - a world where science, ecology and humanity go hand in hand.

Бъдеще за здрава и чиста Европа
Hello future 2040. I dream of a better future for us and our children! The biggest problem of the future remains the health of people, as well as the health of nature and the planet as a whole!!! Unfortunately today we live in a very tense, dynamic and fast moving world , where technology has advanced to huge degrees. And will develop and advance more and more, which, however, plays a detrimental role on humanity and nature!!! In this world of advanced technology, unfortunately humans are becoming sicker and sicker !!! More and more babies are born disabled and young people and children suffer from diseases atypical for their age!! My dream for the future is a better world , where people can eat and live healthier. To have less stress, to have more time for rest and relaxation, to have no extreme poor and homeless! People's incomes to be decent and fair!! The world and Europe in particular need clean nature and peaceful and happy people!!! I dream that by 2040 this will happen at least 50%!!!...

Arbejdsvilkår
I want everyone who wants to work to have the opportunity to do so under good and safe conditions both in terms of working environment and flexible working hours. The pay must be equal for everyone for equal work. It must be possible to stop working in the labor market so that there is time to enjoy retirement.
