A toast to not repeating history's mistakes

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

Dear future self,
We are currently living in times of great civil unrest. We see the atrocities committed around the world driven by a quest for more power, resources, productivity, success at the cost of another. Inequity is rampant and we are all victims of this as we live lives hoping for financial and physical freedom near the end of it.

Dear future self,
I hope you are living in a time post a transformation, with a new world order. I hope you are living in a time where transparency is rampant in political decision making and equity truely thrives. I hope you are living in a time where historically marginalised groups can represent themselves when policies and corporate decisions affect them (both positively and negatively). I hope you are living in a time where we are aware of and taking care of both the negative and positive externalities of our human actions on nature, where circularity is the norm and that we are truely regenerative - leaving a place thriving further than how we found it. I hope you are living in a time where the knowledge of traditional custodians of the land is prioritised, and a mind-body-spirit-place connection is restored. I hope technology is leveraged for the collective good, rather than a tool to build wealth for a few. I hope community has replaced the individualism that currently seeks to divide and conquer us. And I hope that colonialism in a macro scale, a micro scale, and in our minds is abolished and that we have learned from history's mistakes not to repeat its narratives.

It's the year 2040, planet Earth has progressed by leaps and bounds, and it's unrecognizable what it looked like in 2025. Med Bed beds replaced fully obsolete and ineffective big farms. Free energy and all the other hidden inventions hidden from people for decades are now visible everywhere. People no longer have to go to work to survive, and they don't pay senseless taxes to the state. They enjoy freedom, they do things that fill them with happiness. Organic food in shops and stores is of the highest quality and costs packer. Big banks and financial birocratic institutions are a thing of the past.Water cars, levitating objects and a lot of new things are nothing unusual. There is peace, happiness and love everywhere.

After many wars, the world finally entered an era of peace and prosperity. People have turned to the development of technologies and sustainable life and to helping the only others. Rivers and seas have cleared up somewhat after the human race came up with a device that destroys plastic without damaging it. The forests are green again. Space technology has advanced a lot and we have successfully colonized our moon.

In the year 2040, the waves of world problems have smoothed somewhat, the rulers have finally become a little more reasonable and have realized that life can be much more pleasant without quarrels and without wars. Many developments are being driven forward together and thus quickly lead to success. The hunger in the world, which among other things caused wars and flight movements, was largely defeated after a program to feed the world's population was initiated by the dominant major powers and has now ignited effect. Many regions could thus be made arable and bring first yields, necessary ediments which altogether needed , but occur only in individual areas were distributed according to a fair key worldwide and thus come back to everyone's benefit. At last, most have become clear only together and in mutual consideration we move forward and can ensure survival on our planet.

I would like to see peace finally in the world. I would also like Finland not to always give all its funds elsewhere, but also to be able to demand, in the southern European way, that those who have paid their age taxes here should be treated well and not always, but those who come here. I hope that the health services, the care of the elderly and the police will finally get the funds they need from the begging centre. That we can afford to build elk skills and take care of you. The reduction in the number of criminals has disappeared and a negative residence permit means that you leave the country immediately. Judgments are tougher and society no longer pays lawyers ridiculous fees. Crimes are no longer worthwhile and drug use has been minimized.
