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.

Asiat paremmin kuin ennen
Kansakuntien hallitsijat ja päättäjät olisivat vastuullisia, empaattisia sekä ihmisten ja eläinten hyvinvoinnista kiinnostuneita ihmisiä, jotka eivät sotisi ja ajaisi vain omaa etuaan, vaan ajattelisivat muidenkin hyvinvointia globaalisti. Ihmiset olisivat siirtyneet elämään ympäristöystävällisemmin esim. lihansyöntiä, turhaa kuluttamista ja matkustelua välttäen. Nuorimmat sukupolvet eivät olisi niin koukussa mm. someen ja nettiin, vaan jonkinlainen vastavoima olisi saanut heidät ”tuijottamaan” kännyköiden sijasta toisiaan ja tätä maailmaa ja kiinnostumaan ja miettimään aktiivisesti sen ongelmakohtia ja miten niitä voitaisiin parantaa. Tulo- ja varallisuuserojen kasvu olisi saatu taittumaan.

Magical future
I wish all the political and military conflicts to cease as soon as possible so that we don’t have to wait until 2050. I wish people cared more for each other and more importantly about our planet and the environment. I think by 2050 no one will be deiving petrol/diese cars, climate will have become much hotter and there will be more natural disastere happening. People will be isolated more from each other relying on electrical devices doing many tasks including company to each other

Varno in srečno v starosti
Takrat bom že verjetno v domu, stara 82 let. Želim si predvsem spremembe na področju varnosti starejše populacije, saj nas je v povprečju vedno več, domov za ostarele pa je vedno manj. Sploh si ne znam predstavljati varnosti takrat, čeprav smo veliko denarja med delovno dobo dali v ta namen.

First of all, I hope that there is no more fake news because there are online fact checks in real time and populist parties such as the AfD, CSU/CDU and FDP no longer stand a chance. Then I hope that our cities are green and car-free again and populated by pedestrians and cyclists. Private transport will be completely electrified and autonomous. Trains will run quickly, at frequent intervals and on time. We have also been able to stop climate change.
