Between science and culture, a new hope, but without fear. (Tra scienza e cultura, una nuova speranza, ma senza paura.)

I would point out that imagining life in 2040 is not very easy. But this can change over these years both the relationship that nations have with scientific progress and their local cultural sources, such as monuments, museums and so on. In many cases, these two aspects of a nation and, by narrowing the scope, of a society or community, are not valued as it should be, since in my view they are two complementary aspects: the first concerns technologies, innovation, investing its future in gradual progress also of human civilisation; the second is the centuries-old contribution of the wider artistic traditions, from painting to seventh art through books and music. I therefore believe that this development is needed on the basis of a substantial financial base and collective action by all, as culture and science go hand in hand. Valorising places of cultural interest and local artistic heritage and encouraging people to take a scientific path from school education onwards, so as to direct many people to these very broad fields of knowledge, is of paramount importance, as it develops various transversal skills and advances in the development of their own critical thinking. To ensure that we do not remain stuck to the metaphoric iron ball that keeps us anchored to the ground of ignorance and neglect.

Mon futur à moi
I'd like the future to be safer for everyone. That life would be cheaper. That the poor be helped. That everyone would have a job and a roof over their heads and be able to eat their fill. That there will be no more famine or sick children anywhere in the world. That everything be settled and that we all move forward together without discrimination or anything. Everyone must be able to live in peace. My perfect future would be a world where everyone could live in peace.

Un monde de rêve
The world's population has finally become wise. Everyone lives in peace. No more wars. No more unemployment. No more racism, because with everyone living in peace, people no longer need to leave their countries. And at last, we can look after the planet's future with peace of mind.

Mehr Sicherheit für unsere Kinder
That my children receive a better education than today and that the teachers work more with the children because they have smaller classes. More financial security through lower taxes. It should be enough for parents to work 1x50% and 1x100% and not both have to work full time to do everything justice.

Die Vernunft hat gesiegt
The EU has been dissolved. The national states live and act independently again. The countries live together peacefully, there is active trade without free trade agreements and shit like that. The countries have switched to popular politics. Surveillance is forbidden !!! The good advantages of digitalization are used, surveillance, hacker attacks are (bad) history. People act with reason and common sense. Professional politics has been banned! Popular politics by citizens for citizens has taken over! Countries are governed/limited by a handful of honest, reasonable people/citizens. No more corruption. Civilization, human rights have triumphed! Weapons are superfluous. People act in peace. All countries stick together. There are no more mega-rich citizens and no more mega-poor ones. SUVs, unnecessary flying, cruises are banned. Mankind has finally understood - we are all responsible! Overpopulation is falling sharply. Two-child policy at most. No more child benefit payments. Vacations at home are fun again! You can also travel abroad every 5 years. but this whole throwaway and ego society is over! economically there are small profits. The companies have survived. No more flights of fancy, fair pay for all! The world retirement age is 60 with a state-guaranteed pension (today 2000 euros net tax-free). The world pension system has been restarted. Everyone only pays in for themselves! Anyone who makes additional pension provisions (also tax-free) will have even more money available in old age. The health system has been overhauled. People and health come first. Profitability has been banned! The overpriced prices for medical equipment, tools etc. were lowered (in reality) in order to reduce the unnecessary burden on the health system. Dictatorships like China and North Korea, democratic Congo etc. were dissolved. Freedom and civilization for all! etc
