A future based on the past (Un futuro basato sul passato)

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

In 2040, in 18 I would like the world to be completely different, but I would particularly like to see machines or means of road transport being abolished forever in the future. Indeed, my future is also about the past, because I would like to live in a way in which animals are ‘used’, but to use in a positive sense, in my view the animal in general and in the world was born not only as a companion to humans but also to help them. Indeed, I would like to live in a world where machines are replaced by, for example, coaches with horses or elephants or camels depending on the place in the world in which you are located. However, this does not mean that all means of transport should be abolished, because aircraft or trains or vessels cannot be replaced by animals, including for their welfare. So in the future I would like to “use” animals, but always in their respect, to change the world: both in the climate field, because this would lead to a reduction in pollution and thus help and stop climate change and in the cultural field, because I believe that using all the means that we can have to survive, without always inventing something new, can help people to organise themselves and open up their mind-set.

Changeons le monde
En 2040, j'aimerai que l'Homme soit moins individualiste. Qu'il ne pense pas en priorité à ses propres intérêts mais plutôt à l'intérêt collectif, à l'environnement et à la planète qui souffre de tant d'indifférence. Si chacun y met du sien il est possible de freiner le réchauffement climatique et les catastrophes qui s'intensifient au fil des années.

Green Future
In 2040 I would like the future to be made of green cities and streets. Sustainable homes and non-polluting means of transport everywhere. Schools open to all without any fees or fees. Jobs where people are really happy to stay and share things in all areas of life.

Demokratija ir teisingumas
A future without aggression, without warring over natural resources, with a sensible choice of the Green Deal, without putting all the burden on European countries. Ensuring democracy and equality. Red tape reduced, emigration controlled. European traditions preserved, tighter control over the behaviour of foreigners and the culture they impose. Rein in the oligarchs. Make medical treatment equally accessible to all, with control of the pharmaceutical industry. Invent cures for cancer and other incurable diseases. Ensure a dignified old age. Healthy diets without laboratory products. Accessible education, science and culture.

Harmonia przyszłości
The year is 2040, and the world is quiet, but full of new possibilities. There are no more traffic jams in cities, and the air is cleaner than ever before, thanks to advanced atmospheric cleaning technology. People travel the streets in zero-emission vehicles that float above the surface thanks to magnetism. Homes are energy self-sufficient, and CO2-absorbing water and air technology have become the norm. Between 2025 and 2040, humanity realized the dream of global cooperation in the fight against climate change. Breakthroughs in renewable energy have made it possible to become completely independent of fossil fuels. Societies have become more sustainable, and inequalities have begun to erode, thanks to equality in access to technology and resources. While much has changed, the challenge still remains the human psyche. Technologies can improve our lives, but the real change is the ability to live in harmony with each other and the planet. The future is not only about innovation, but also internal transformation.
