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.

L utopique age d or
People no longer eat animals, forests are protected, there is only one god, the universe. Cancer is eradicated. Weapons are banned. Nuclear bombs are defused all over the planet, hundreds of millions of trees are replanted, the conquest of space is the top priority. Esperanto is the universal language, and live and let live has become everyone's motto. Last but not least, the human population does not exceed ten billion.

Freiheit
I want to live in a future where there is no more dictation from above, where I can freely say what I think without fear. It's peaceful on the streets, there are no concrete blocks at our Christmas markets and our countries are once again mainly inhabited by locals. Guests are always welcome, we swap stories and talk about each other's culture. Then we go back to our home countries and tell them about it. We are all friends. Nature is growing and flourishing. There is no longer a CO2 tax, as CO2 is necessary for plants to grow. The air is clean. There are no more wind turbines killing our birds and the populations have recovered. An eagle is circling above again. Chemtrails no longer exist and those responsible for this manipulation have been brought to justice. Schools and universities are once again places of learning and wisdom and not corporate hives of interest. There is peace around us and within us.

Préservation du bien vivre
It's hard to imagine the future with all the advances in technology, which have both positive and negative points. I'm thinking more about the future in terms of nature. I'd like to see nature, especially flora and fauna, protected, and for people to stop consuming at will and doing anything with waste and, above all, over-consumption. We have to move with the times, of course, but growing our own fruit and vegetables is an important way of knowing exactly what we're eating, and a way of sharing and exchanging when there's too much production. Tynis houses are interesting and economical, and I think they'll evolve over time.

Frieden und gutes Klima
A world without despots and idiots in power, worldwide. We have achieved the climate targets and things are green and blooming everywhere. The economy is also flourishing and global trade and change are functioning smoothly. The wars have ended and the global community has become sensible. People are concerned about important social issues and not about taking over other countries.
