Following a longer dialogue in the sense of a dialogical aesthetic in the Antrhopociene (the working title of my artistic research) with ChatGPT, the following vision emerged:

In 2040, Europe has undergone a profound transformation and has become a model of regeneration, spirituality, peace and an integral world vision integrating European and non-European indigenous wisdoms. This vision shows how civil society processes and the public interest economy are involved in this transformation process:

1. Participatory communities:
European cities and regions have developed a culture of active participation and participation. Citizens shape local decisions and projects, leading to vibrant and committed communities.

2. Public service enterprises:
Europe has experienced a blooming period of companies in the public interest. In addition to profit-making, these companies actively promote social and environmental responsibility and promote fair working conditions.

3. Education for sustainability:
The education system in Europe emphasises the importance of sustainability, ethics and social engagement. Schools and universities encourage students to work for environmental protection, peace and the common good.

4. Ecological neighbourhoods:
European cities have become ecological neighbourhoods where sustainable construction and renewable energy are promoted. People live in green communities and share resources.

5. Cultural diversity and integration:
Europe has experienced a cultural renaissance characterised by the integration of diverse cultural influences. Artists and creators from different backgrounds enrich the cultural landscape.

6. Intergenerational dialogue:
Society promotes intergenerational dialogue and respects the knowledge and experience of older people. Communities are characterised by a sense of attachment between the young and the old.

7. Health and prevention:
Europe has focused on preventive medicine and holistic healthcare. People pay attention to their physical and mental health and use natural curative methods.

8. Global cooperation:
Europe is actively working with countries and regions around the world to address global challenges. Together, they are committed to peace, environmental protection and social justice.

9. Regenerative agriculture:
European agriculture has embraced regenerative practices that restore soils and promote biodiversity. Farmers use organic farming methods.

10. Indigenous wisdoms and common good:
Europe has integrated indigenous wisdoms from different cultures and uses them as a source of inspiration for community projects, environmental protection and social justice. These wisdoms emphasise the importance of the balance in nature and the common good.

Civil society processes and the public interest economy have played a crucial role in shaping and promoting this holistic vision for Europe in 2040. They have shaped a society based on values such as cooperation, sustainability, social justice and respect for nature. Europe lives in line with the spiritual dimensions of life and honours the diversity of indigenous wisdoms that contribute to regeneration, peace and harmony.

Capitialism on a deteriorating planet

Anonymous

In 20 years the world will be more inequal than today. We did not change the fundamentals of distribution in capitalism, and climate change reduced the availablity of resources and livable places. Cleaner technology has advanced substantially, but it mostly makes a difference for the wealthiest people in the world. Most people are worse off than today. There are more refugees, more global instability and more poverty and harsh conditions in the many megacities of the world. Natural disasters claim more lives than today.

Quand les abeilles remplaceront le béton

Anonymous

2050, La grande re-initialisation a eu lieu. Les européens sont réunis et ont réussi à repousser la grande migration vers d'autres continents. Le beton des immeubles désormais vides des banlieues est remplaces par des champs de fleurs où viennent butiner les abeilles. Les robots travaillent sans relâche. Robot nettoyeur, robot transporteur, robot berceur. Personne ne regrette les temps maudits.

In 2040, I would like to see a future where access to quality healthcare is universal and equitable for all individuals, regardless of their socio-economic status or geographical location. In this future, advanced medical technologies, including personalized medicine and telehealth services, would be readily available to everyone, ensuring timely and effective treatment for all health concerns. Healthcare systems would prioritize preventive care and early intervention, leading to improved overall health outcomes and reduced healthcare costs in the long run. Furthermore, there would be a greater emphasis on mental health awareness and support, with comprehensive mental health services integrated into primary care settings. Stigma surrounding mental health issues would be significantly reduced, encouraging more individuals to seek help when needed and promoting overall well-being. Medical research and innovation would flourish, leading to breakthroughs in treating and curing previously incurable diseases. Access to essential medications and treatments would be affordable and accessible to all, eliminating disparities in healthcare access and outcomes. Overall, this future would be characterized by a healthcare system that is compassionate, efficient, and responsive to the needs of all individuals, ensuring that everyone can live healthy and fulfilling lives.
