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.

Politik für Menschen und den Planeten
The highest priorities are the environment and peace. Peace on all continents. The global community should also take care of the developing countries. developing countries. Even if there are no coveted raw materials to be exploited there. In order to get the global flow of refugees under control, the reasons for this should be tackled causally. If the economy in poorer countries is promoted and expanded, people will have little reason to leave their country. When it comes to environmental protection and resource consumption, the whole world should pull together. It is not enough for Germany to point the finger and try to be the model pupil while ruining its own economy and the Americans, Chinese, Indians and Russians don't even know what environmental protection and resource conservation means.

In 2040, I imagine a world without traffic jams cars driving on the road will be displaced by hovering cars. Everything will be made more robotic. Plastic will be displaced by greener, biodegradable materials, making people healthier, animals less likely to die and the environment cleaner.

Living Good Lives
In 2040, I would like to see housing become a human right and to see every human being housed safely and securely. This housing would be guaranteed despite income or employment status. Houses would become affordable through 3-D printing materials and through government social housing schemes, housing lotteries and affordable mortgage schemes. Houses could be owned or rented but everyone is housed. Derelict houses will be renovated and vacant/hoarded properties will not be permitted by landlord. Air BnB will not be allowed post full apartments or houses (only rooms in-house like normal BnBs). This economic and social security would boost local and cultural economies. The cities will belong to the people who live, work, and care there not to multinational corporations or to tourists (though tourists are of course welcome).

nous vivons l'ancien, maintenant.
I can easily imagine a very different kind of medicine, free at last to bring together all the potential of treatments and therapists. Where body, mind, emotions and the subtle planes will be treated together. The rational will join the holistic. People will take charge of themselves and change or adapt their behavior. The feminine and the masculine will finally be approached differently. Ancestral and archaic patterns will be gently and self-evidently eroded. Our conditioned programs will be able to move, and it will no longer be possible to stay where we are. This is the world that's on the move. It's not yet perceptible, but it's there.
