I wake up to compete with the sun, I often lose. I live on a self-driving bus and have given myself permission to grow a beard after I've turned 80. My finances are in balance. Living in a car is cheaper than living in a rental apartment. All my furniture and stuff are old, mostly second-hand. Retirement doesn't have to fight too much bureaucracy to make money. You can also work a little more freely. My motorhome has a good sized kitchen and a separate bedroom. There is a small sauna in the bathroom. There is a small studio in the living area. The car is allowed to drive completely autonomously, no more need for a person next to it. Moving around is easy. Sometimes my girlfriend and I travel a little further. The climate in Finland is starting to be warm enough, especially in the summer. There are still no flying cars, no one has even seriously tried to make them. I don't think they'll ever come. My bipolar disorder has been brought under control when the causes of it have finally been understood. The right diet is crucial. All unnecessary conversational therapy has been eliminated from the treatment companies. I am reasonably happy with my life.

For the future, I hope that people will have much more respect for nature and animals, that a beautiful coexistence is possible without the slaughter and killing of animals. I imagine a beautiful flower meadow surrounded by trees and in the middle many many animals that can live peacefully and without fear. And above all, people are happy with this and realize that meat consumption is not necessary. Animals should no longer have to suffer because of money and certain medicines. Not even in poor countries.

Un mondo migliore, forse ma non credo
I would like to be in a world that has rediscovered solidarity, civil coexistence, where a great brother who exploits the world economically does not reign and governs, inventing scourges, pestilences, wars and conflicts, forcing humanity to suffer prohibitions, impositions, restrictions, controls and humiliations. But unfortunately this will not be possible, as long as we survive the climate catastrophe.

In a better place
We have come a long way since 2025. Now that there are over 40 countries in the EU and it is over 10 years since the UK rejoined, it is hard to believe that there have been no major wars in 20 years. Reformation of the Commission has led to it being much more representative of the smaller countries and the overall economy is more stable. There are still some climate change issues to deal with but things are definitely stabilising over the last 10 years.

In the year 2040 nobody drives combustion cars anymore. Public transport has improved a lot in recent years, now all vehicles are electric and eco-sustainable, there are many connections between cities and countries and a great time availability. Nobody has a private car because it is not practical, when in 5 minutes you have available a transport that takes you to your destination quickly, efficiently and for free! Renewable energies have become the standard. Thanks to this and other changes, climate change has been slowed down. Companies have substantially reduced their emissions of harmful gases, including CO2, and have stopped using non-renewable packaging in their products. Thousands of species have been saved worldwide, especially marine species, and the seas have been repopulated. In the year 2040, society's main concern is not its future, but what it is going to do on the weekend with all its free time, since it now only works from Monday to Thursday. What I have described is not a possible future right now, but it could be if politicians take the right measures, it just needs the will to change. The future of Europe is the future of all of us, it is the future of the planet.
