An idealistic European future

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

Europe will have learnt from its past mistakes in terms of security and defence and economy.
It will no longer be seen as a side partner with no real power when it comes to wars at its borders. It will be equipped and able to deter foreign threats, both military and online.
While having strong foreign partnerships, it will no longer rely on third countries to provide it with rare materials, energy or manufacture critical products.
It will have understood that companies are critical to its social welfare and adapted its regulations to European companies' needs.
Energy and life costs will no longer be an issue for Europeans as there will have been investments in new nuclear technologies, incentives given to companies to produce in Europe in a simplified regulatory framework, taxation, social and labour costs will be harmonised and education will be again a strong pillar of the society.

Living Good Lives
In 2040, I would like to see housing become a human right and to see every human being housed safely and securely. This housing would be guaranteed despite income or employment status. Houses would become affordable through 3-D printing materials and through government social housing schemes, housing lotteries and affordable mortgage schemes. Houses could be owned or rented but everyone is housed. Derelict houses will be renovated and vacant/hoarded properties will not be permitted by landlord. Air BnB will not be allowed post full apartments or houses (only rooms in-house like normal BnBs). This economic and social security would boost local and cultural economies. The cities will belong to the people who live, work, and care there not to multinational corporations or to tourists (though tourists are of course welcome).

nous vivons l'ancien, maintenant.
I can easily imagine a very different kind of medicine, free at last to bring together all the potential of treatments and therapists. Where body, mind, emotions and the subtle planes will be treated together. The rational will join the holistic. People will take charge of themselves and change or adapt their behavior. The feminine and the masculine will finally be approached differently. Ancestral and archaic patterns will be gently and self-evidently eroded. Our conditioned programs will be able to move, and it will no longer be possible to stay where we are. This is the world that's on the move. It's not yet perceptible, but it's there.

Ohne Sorge leben!
I wish that all pensioners could live without money worries in old age. I can see for myself that as a severely disabled pensioner I am forced to earn extra money. I can barely make ends meet with my pension. I know others who collect bottles and also work. It would be good if the state did more to address this social injustice. Pensioners who have their own house and land and have worked all their lives to secure their old age are currently being ripped off with high property taxes. This should no longer happen. It is the duty of our government and politicians to think of their own fellow citizens first.

Das Comeback der Demokratie
It would be a future in which would-be dictators are put to rest once and for all, in which people can be who they are, at least as long as they do not harm others. A world in which people listen to each other again instead of condemning each other for the smallest offenses. A world in which people focus on the important things, take a pragmatic view of the future, don't give populism a chance and let realism take over.
