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.

ekologicka, technologicky pokrocila
In 2040, I imagine a world where technology serves people without harming the environment. I would like to see a more environmentally friendly diorva where electric and hydrogen cars are completely replaced by internal combustion engines.

Nice
In 2040 the feature is more peaceful in every level of imagination, no wars are present in the world, there is no violence or abuse of any kind. Everyone is minding their own business, but thinking like community and about how their decisions effect the life of thousands, if not now than in the future. Kindness is back in style and is paying an important role in everyones life. It's nice to live in 2040.

I wish for this time, which I will obviously no longer experience, that there are no more criminal and illegal foreigners living in our country, that the foreigners have integrated themselves into our country and all work and are no longer just in the pocket of the state.

Lepší svet
I imagine 2025 as follows. People will no longer eat in the normal way. Food will be replaced by pills or liquid food. Cars and other means of transport will cease to exist - their replacement will be a teleportation system that can teleport a person anywhere. It will work just like navigation. Overall, there will be less crime in the world to prevent evil. Death has a completely different meaning. In 2040, one can pay for the “extension of life.” by letting oneself be frozen.
