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.

Věda a technologie
People in 2027 started getting chipped, everything was already technologically developed. In 2030, cars started flying, so people didn't have to wait in queues, everything was faster. We started growing crickets for food, there are different farms. In 2040, scientists developed the dinosaur gene, so they started appearing and breeding them as pets.

Frieden und in Ruhe und Harmonie leben
Above all, I want to live in peace, that people understand each other and that it's not always about profit. That people have what they need to live. Healthy food and animals that are no longer tortured. We already have a lot of technical aids, which is great progress in this day and age, but AI must not get out of hand. People should show consideration for others.

Gemeinsam das Land verändern
A lot has changed in the past 20 years. After the government finally started to be there for its citizens and the country, things started to pick up again. The economy has recovered. We now produce almost everything in our own country. We import less food because we use our land to produce food. Fruit and vegetables are now only available when they are in season. Many people use solar to power their homes. There are many more electric cars on the roads. Cyclists and motorists are equal road users. The penalties for misbehavior on the road also apply to cyclists. There is no two-tier society in the healthcare system. You get an appointment promptly, regardless of which doctor you see. Medicines are always available because they are produced in the country. Education is being taken seriously again. There are enough schools and trained teachers who take care of children's education.
