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.

My ideal future.
A peaceful future with no wars, with liberal and democratic values and leaders that can have conversations with one another without starting wars and having innocent citizens suffer. A technologically advanced future, but without the harm of artificial intelligence. People look after one another and care about the planet and it's wellbeing.

Latvia is under second occupation. At a crucial moment, the old European countries distanced themselves and refused to help, like Trump, unwilling to send their people to shed blood for small countries. The Baltic States, Finland and Poland were the scene of a protracted guerrilla war. Some of the population greeted the occupiers with joy, others were forced to flee or died in concentration camps. The remaining European countries are Russian vassal states. The USA has been divided into small states by civil war and no longer plays a major role. The citizens of the occupied countries have set up provisional governments in Britain to resist. A very plausible scenario after what is happening in the world at the moment. Europe must be united, must stop dividing itself into Eastern Europe and Western Europe to avoid this. All countries and peoples are equally important. The old countries must stop thinking only of themselves and bowing down to the aggressor.
