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.

Totally United Europe
In 2040, I would love to see a totally united Europe including the countries that are part of the EU but are not as supportive as many countries, and including Ukraine and other countries that are not yet part of the EU. It would make it so much more attractive to holiday in a totally united Europe - and hopefully, the costs will not have soured as they have been doing for many European countries.

Zurück in die Vergangenheit
Keine E-Autos mehr auf den Straßen. Das war vorraus zu sehen. Überall verwaiste E-Ladestationen. Das das Netz zusammen brechen würde war vielen klar, aber der kleine Mann hatte ja nichts zu sagen. Gas teuer, Strom zusammen gebrochen, wir sind anstatt vorwärts zu gehen zurück in die Vergangenheit geraten. Panik bricht aus, Kreditkarte funktionieren nicht mehr, Bargeld ist kaum vorhanden. Kommt jetzt doch Windkraft oder Wasserkraft? Wassermühlen wie früher? Brettspiele statt Fernsehen und Handy?

EU my home
I want to see EU as a strong, technologycally advanced society. It should be much more connected (common military, foreign policy, strong and efficient central government), able to deal efficiently with problems like climate change, immigration strategy,social justice, health care and many more problems that we have today. I would definitely like to see much less dependence on US, with relations on equal terms instead. It would grant a society of wealth and therefore less tensions.

Upanje za prihodnost.
In 2040, it would be nice to have more freedom, more joy, more happiness, more hope and more empathy and understanding. No differences, no racism, sexism, or anything like that. No hatred in general. I cannot put into words how much I want this. Equality for all. That is my hope, my wish. If it comes true in 2040, when I'm gone, I'll still be happy as a ghost.
