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.

Nur geträumt
Humanity has come to its senses. We now have enough agriculture in Germany again and can feed ourselves, are independent and free. Asparagus is only available in asparagus season and strawberries only in summer. And tomatoes taste like tomatoes again. We get them directly from the farmer in the farm store or in small corner stores where we like to stop for a chat with the neighbors. Where there used to be huge supermarkets, there are now large playgrounds for our little ones, free-range enclosures for man's best friends and hospitals. We have leveled and renaturalized many highways or converted them into local recreation areas. We are currently in the process of dismantling residential silos with more than five storeys and creating new living space. This will keep us busy for some time yet, after which we will turn off the alarm clock and wake up from our dream.

The EU collapsed. NATO ceased to exist. The trial of liberal leaders who had destroyed the EU economy
The EU collapsed, with only a few Old World countries remaining. NATO ceased to exist. Parties concerned about national security and the self-identity of their countries came to power. The trial of liberal leaders who had destroyed the EU economy to please transnational corporations took place. Many Eastern European countries found the strength to recognize the sanctions against the Russian Federation as destructive for them. And so they made peace with Russia, and many even sent requests to join the Eurasian Union. After the trial of liberal politicians of the 1920s, Germany began to recover economically. The Nord Stream gas pipelines were restored. Under the leadership of Germany and France, the creation of the European Armed Forces began. The construction of the New Silk Road was completed. Some countries returned to the idea of

Meine Zukunft
People in government must prove that they have a basic knowledge of their position and are not appointed according to party affiliation. Laws that are passed must also be applied and not become ineffective with thousands of exceptions. As far as transport is concerned, it would be good if there were still a certain individual share, but for the most part via a well-developed public network that also takes into account all so-called marginalized groups (the elderly, the disabled, the financially disadvantaged).

Dette vil næppe være min fremtid, men ...
For anything to get better, we have to start small. That means everything starts with yourself, with taking responsibility for your life, living a decent, responsible and considerate life in all respects. If this happens, it will also mean that the people elected to political responsibility will be able to fulfill their duties for the benefit of all people and all aspects of society. And there is nowhere, in my opinion, where change and improvement is more needed than in this area if democracy is to survive
