Alternative Planetary Futures

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I like a value-based transformation and collective quest for the wisdom in 2040, when people:

1/Question all and any natural born identities
e.g. tied to geography, ethnicity, nationality, faith, language, etc.

2/Love the aliens’ cultures and hybrid mindsets
e.g. those of foreigners’ with the least common shared overlapping beliefs, norms, and practices.

3/Embrace the planetary identity to save the ecology
e.g. by refusing the geopolitical boundaries, to tackle climate change, loss of biodiversity, depletion of natural resources, etc.

4/Refuse all and any justification of violence and killing
e.g. avoid praising warfare in texts and movies and stories and stop glorification of fighters and warriors, etc.

5/Practice the key principles of scientific worldview
e.g. obtain a mythical sense of awe and reverence in learning laws of nature governing the cosmos and practice a global ethics that is inclusive of non-humans.

6/Realize the no-human-work economy and all activist societies
e.g. support automation of undignified hard and boring labor and encourage everyday activity of maximum political participation.

7/Transcend the simple vs. complex binary through enriching the symbolic systems
e.g. create new higher level frames or languages, such as a 2*2 scenario matrix or system dynamic loops or vector bundles in the total space, to enrich the big picture understanding and more simple elegant generalization of the lower level or base space of the fiber bundle confusing complexity.

the future is grandchildren
in 2040 I will be 72 and my children 32 and 31 - I hope I have grandchildren and that they live near. I hope my kids are settled workign and have decent places to live. air and watr are clean. i hope that the weather has settled and the enviroment stabalised - but I doudt it and I think my children will be facing more extreme weather. AI will impact their jobs but not to the extent the pessimists worry. I will be retired - but only just as I enjoy work, i will have a rich cultureal and social life and wont be worrying about caring for othes (those years are behind me). I might need to help my kids finaically just as my parents helped me - but they do ok.

When you sit in a café in the sun, people talk. The cell phones are gone. You look into each other's eyes and take an interest in each other. Respects differences, sexuality, skin tones and attitudes. They no longer judge each other. There is peace and quiet in the world. No one feels superior to anyone else. The focus is on the contact, interaction and respect between people. There is peace and no stress.
