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

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.

Trečias pasaulinis karas
Tikiu kad per ateinančius 20 metų pasaulyje bus technologijų karas dėl valdžios. Sužinosime daugiau apie savo prigimtį ir kitas saulės sistemos planetas ir jų prigimtį. Didės emigrantų ir mažės darbo vietų dėl emigrantų ir dėl technologijų tobulėjimo. Taip galvoju jei nekils trečias pasaulinis karas. Jei taip nutiktų visa tai jau nebesvarbu.

I think the digital revolution will continue. I fear that my and older age groups will be out of step with the innovations. I think my then adult children's jobs will look different and be even more digitized. Hopefully prosperity will be largely restored after the Third World War that Russia unleashed along with America against Europe. We also still need to further acclimate and adapt to the shifted climate zones and many natural disasters.

It will certainly be better, because there will be no armed conflicts and others. People and decision makers will understand that this is wrong and unnecessary. I will already be an old woman. With the development of medicine and good care from my family and rehabilitation centers, I will enjoy good health and fitness. There will be no jealousy, because it serves no purpose. Unless it has a positive aspect, e.g. since everyone knows several languages, I will also try to learn them, although I am already an old person. Europe is and will be a beautiful, united continent, without nationalism. Everyone has already understood that life is one. Humans, animals and plants are so important to each other that you have to take the best care of the environment. You don't need so much to live. Work is now and will be very important. People will work longer, because good health and willingness to work will allow them to do so. It will be very important to raise the next generations well. The young will take care of the elderly and learn from their experience. Why the huge estates and palaces. Beautiful, clean small family houses will suffice. Their surroundings taken care of. The younger generation will learn to work solidly and do their duties well. May there be a seat in front of the computer, although they will be even more perfect. Nothing in the world can replace the importance of close and mutual contact with each other. Nothing will change that, and everyone will understand that.

Grön rättvisa
År 2040 har den gröna omställningen gått helt i rätt riktning. Man har byggt ut cykelvägar (med uppvärmning vintertid för säkrare cykling), de flesta kör miljöbilar och det är nästan pinsamt om man kör en diesel- eller bensindriven bil. Flickor i hela världen har äntligen fått börja skolan, kvinnor slipper vara rädda när de går ut på kvällarna och världen har blivit en mer kärleksfull och trygg plats. Våldtäktsmän straffas på rätt sätt, mobbare är de som får byta skola, kvinnor i våldsamma relationer slipper fly till skyddade boenden då männen som utsätter dom är de som får ta konsekvenserna.
