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.

I imagine that by 2040 Europe will have become a model of sustainable development, where technology and nature coexist harmoniously. Cities will be green and energy efficient, every building will have solar panels and vertical gardens. Public transport will be fully electric and emission-free, and citizens will travel by autonomous vehicles or bicycles. People will be actively involved in decision-making through smart city technologies and e-democracy tools.

Notre planète, une priorité absolue
In 2040, the world will finally have realized that our earth is the priority and that it must be protected, but after all these years of political and economic amnesia about protecting our planet, biodiversity and water, I really hope that in 2040, we'll get there. For this future, I want an awareness that man is not the king of the universe and that all forms of life have the right to exist and be protected. I want: beautiful forests with diverse species, large mammals that are no longer on endangered species lists, clean rivers that are no longer channeled, agriculture that respects the soil, insects and therefore people.

EU der offen Zukunft
Europe a common country that stands for progress and freedom. Where people, regardless of their ethnic origin, can live and develop freely and where there are no more dictatorships and autocracies that continue to restrict life here. The former right-wing populism has become history and there is now only a Europe without borders and without individual states with open borders to the outside. The EU with Russia and Ukraine is one of the most important players in the world and there are no more trade wars with the USA and China. Climate protection is on track, the economy is booming and everyone is very happy to live in the European Union of the future. That would be my chosen future

So könnte eine vernünftige Zukunft aussehen
The focus must remain on migration, economic and social policy, and the voice of the citizen must be heard, possibly through referendums. The gap between rich and poor must close again and utopian salaries, whether in sport or politics, must be abolished. We need to return to our values, become less demanding and include the weaker members of society, because everyone is needed. School education needs to be completely overhauled, it can't go on like this. Cell phones do not belong in the classroom. People who look after people in a private atmosphere, be it children, the sick or the elderly, must be given credit for their time. The same applies to voluntary work in clubs, the fire department, etc. Everything must be distributed more fairly, then neither greed nor envy will arise. We should also pay more attention to the fact that the food industry is pushing food that makes us ill, which is really impossible. All in all, we should work more again, then we won't have bad thoughts. All problems are self-made.
