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.

Změna k lepšímu
Between 2025 and 2050, I think a lot has changed. Anyway, the main thing I would like to mention is that all people, regardless of race, have started to live better. Poverty has stopped, hunger has stopped. All people whether women but also men had jobs that covered their various expenses.

du dialogue en direct pour une meilleure compréhension
I'd quite like to see a big regression in social networking. People talking face-to-face to really say something to each other, not to make more or less kind comments. A greater tolerance of ideas would also be necessary, along with more compassion and humanity.

Dostupnost nadevše
The year was 2040... I'm remembering the old days, I mean 2025 - 2000 approx. I remember the world was very different everything was less accessible and complex. Nowadays everything is simpler and of course the technology, it's on a much higher level. Apple Vision pro are already available to a lot more people and they are on the size of glasses. But at the same time, the good old days are still there.

Pár věcí co by bylo fajn
I hope in 2040 I will have a beautiful child who will be smart and love me. I will be with my girlfriend and I definitely think I will have a good job with good pay to support my family I hope I will be healthy. I continue to think that ecologically I think that would be wrong. Either we should come up with something that won't pollute the planet so much or we send her to the Grove. I certainly thought we could have new means of transportation much faster. than they are today. It would be nice if it went the right way.
