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.

Visionen
Firstly, that I live to see the year 2040. I also very much hope that we will be able to avoid senseless wars in the future and enable everyone to live a life worth living. I wish us all that the problems in the area of the environment and climate change will not get worse by then so that my great-grandchildren will still have a future, The cohesion of people with each other is an important point for a contented life, unfortunately this point currently leaves a lot to be desired. It will only get better if there are no more serious differences. As long as the rich keep getting more while most people barely know how to get by each month, unfortunately not much will happen. What a pity,

Budúcnosť nevidim rúžovú - zbrojenie nas privedie ku koncu sveta a náš koniec na tejto zemi
I would like to see free modern healthcare, to see European salaries and product prices harmonised, there must be no difference between European countries. The rich are getting richer from our work, so let this profit be distributed among all those who participate in it. Every job is important and everyone is entitled to a decent life - only one has it.

les voyages du futur
By 2040, the way we travel will have changed completely. No more human-driven cars. We'll be boarding spacious, comfortable machines equipped with a variety of games and screens. All we'll need to do is ask for our destination, and we'll arrive at high speed, stress-free and fatigue-free.

Nevalné vyhlídky.
The main issues to be tackled are migration, peace, the environment. The EU needs to impose tough rules so that it does not pay for anyone to migrate to Europe. This could be done by 2040. Migration causes unrest in society, fear among local people, acts of terrorism. Peace - calming the war in Ukraine, the conflict between Israel and Hamas. These two conflicts make us most nervous. Politicians should do everything to bring about calm. And the environment? The whole planet must try to improve the situation, Europe will not save anything.
