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.

No Future

Anonymous

I would like to see my country and the world doing better because if we'll continue like this, then there will be no 2040. We are destroying the environment, animals, air and this will all lead to our own destruction. We need to take measures or whatever future that I will write is not going to happen.

2040: Embracing Diversity

Anonymous

I'd love to see a world where accepting differences is not just a buzzword but a lived reality. A future where diversity is celebrated, and people embrace various perspectives, cultures, and identities. Imagine a society where empathy and understanding replace prejudice, fostering a global community that values uniqueness.

A future where we all share responsibility for the common good

Anonymous

Humanity has resolved all conflicts, abolished wars, and opted to live in peace together. To achieve this, nations and powerful people have decided to put their personal interests aside to favour the collective good of all humanity, nature and the planet. Resources are managed so as to be distributed equitably to all, and their exploitation is done for reasonable consumption and no longer for pure financial interest. The divergent points of view underlying conflicts and wars are now discussed in a space where each of the parties concerned has the right to express themselves, where listening is respectful, and where the common interest prevails. Education is accessible and free for all children, art, respect for differences and critical thinking are taught. Diversity among the population is considered an asset and encouraged, no one wants to go back to the privileges granted to some only on the basis of their gender, race, sexual tendency, or any other particular sign. Technology is developed with respect for human, individual and collective rights, and when it becomes a common good, the technology no longer belongs to a private firm which makes profits from it but belongs to the community.

Decizia tuturor

Anonymous

Consider că un subiect deosebit de important pentru întreaga societate în care trăim îl reprezintă echitatea socială și egalitatea de gen. În viitor, femeile ar trebui să aibă un cuvânt de spus, care să cântărească la fel de mult cât cântărește în prezent cuvântul bărbaților. În viitor, tinerele femei care își doresc să se implice atât la nivelul societății civile, cât și la nivel politic, nu mai sunt privite ca fiind a doua opțiune, deseori fiind descurajate și fiindu-le oferit un loc la masa deciziilor doar pentru a atinge anumite cote. În viitor, oportunitățile sunt egale atât pentru femei, cât și pentru bărbați, iar meritele le sunt recunoscute ambelor categorii.
