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.

Changement de fonction du parlement européen
By 2040, Europe would need to establish secure borders to prevent the massive arrival of migrants, who are very costly for the countries they settle in. We also need to review and harmonize agricultural standards across Europe, since each country has different standards. We also need to standardize European VAT, and above all let each country's government run its own country, rather than Europe, which favors certain countries.

Blick in die Zukunft
In 2040, I wake up in my smart apartment, which automatically adapts to my needs. The view out of the window shows a green, clean city where cars only drive electrically and autonomously. Thanks to advanced technology, the air quality is excellent and the cities are dotted with green oases. I have breakfast in a café that offers sustainable products from local, vertical farms. Work is all about creative collaboration - artificial intelligence helps to solve complex tasks, but humans remain the creative minds. Education has been revolutionized: Everyone has access to personalized learning methods and can learn new skills at their own pace. In my free time, I use virtual worlds to experience new cultures or realize old dreams. Society has recognized that prosperity is not only material, but also lies above all in health, education and sustainability.

Révision des valeurs, valorisation des valeurs humaines
The medical-social professions are not remunerated at a level commensurate with their contribution to society. In the future, all professions that bring a real benefit to people and society will be valued and paid much more than those that only have a market value. A footballer, especially a professional one, an actor, an influencer, a TV presenter etc. will earn a decent living, but much less than an educator, a nurse, a doctor, a home help. Mutual aid, solidarity, compassion and empathy will be taught from an early age to ensure that tomorrow's societies are harmonious, fair and equitable. Work will be more remunerative than capitalization. All forms of life will be respected and preserved as far as possible.

Gemeinsam für alle ist das Ziel.
People have finally managed to put aside their own selfishness and have realized that a society and a better world can only function together. Mobility is becoming public, free and reliably available to everyone. People have realized that no one has to live in abundance and that no one needs to live in poverty. Every life is secured in a humane way and everyone can live their lives as they wish without having to fear for their existence. The rich 1% have realized that it makes no sense to hoard money and voluntarily make it available to society. No one is disadvantaged because of the attributes of their birth.
