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.

2040, AI applications, combined with other technologies, will benefit almost every aspect of life, including improved healthcare, safer and more efficient transportation, personalized education, improved software for everyday tasks, and increased agricultural crop yields.

Le respect des animaux
The future will undoubtedly be marked by the development of artificial intelligence. This raises both fears and hopes. For my part, I hope it will lead to major advances in the field of medicine, enabling us to live longer, healthier lives. At the same time, it appears that progress is being made in the area of respect for animals, albeit too timidly. I sincerely hope that it will continue to evolve, and that there will be no more animal suffering. May science enable us to feed ourselves differently, why not through the development of artificial meat. It would be wonderful if scientific progress could lead us to understand the mystery of life, why we are here... Finally, may mankind be wiser and exclude war, but that's in the realm of utopia, alas.

Gesund werden und nicht mehr allein sein.
In 2040 I will be 87 years old and I don't know if I will still be in this world. Now, at almost 72, I am reasonably ill and still take little part in life together. I spend most of my time alone at home in my beautiful 3-room apartment with a balcony. I have 3 children and 6 grandchildren but the contact is not that great. 2 children live near me, but they have their work, their house and their children. There is little time for me. When I need help, it usually works out that they help. How do I see the next few years? I would like to alleviate some of the symptoms of my illness or get rid of them completely. If that is the case, I would like to fly, not that far. I've never been to a foreign country like Italy, France or even Austria. I've also got to know almost nothing of Germany. As I can't walk or stand for long periods, day trips are not for me at the moment. I would like to get to know a man again, not to move in together, but to go out and be there for each other. My last steady relationship is from 1997. I would like Germany not to be involved in a war and for our economy to flourish again so that we can maintain our social system. I would like to be that old, but who knows that about themselves.

Frieden und Gerechtigkeit
Peace will soon reign throughout the world. Everyone will understand that wars are bad. Groups and people like the AfD or Donald Trump will go down in the history books as inexplicable bizarre aberrations. Finally, much more will be done consistently to tackle climate change. Care will be guaranteed for everyone and family carers in particular will receive much more support. The wave of immigration will subside by improving the quality of life in the countries of origin. Criminals will be punished more severely and consistently deported or imprisoned.
