Ο κόσμος μας

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I imagine waking up in a world without discrimination and stereotypes, where everyone walks around "free" and naked without the needs and wants clashing.
2040 seems so close no matter how far away it is. I'll probably be in my late 50's and I hope I've done my best so that what I wrote a while ago will work. For God's sake (haha I'm not even a believer) I don't live in a utopia and I know that this specialization I present seems elusive.. but since when did being a simple everyday person who looks after himself and doesn't offend anyone with his existence become a luxury and utopia?
I hope if I have a family I can at least bring into the world and build characters of children with morals and ideals, who love with their hearts and not with their eyes.
That's pretty much what I would like to see when I wake up in 2040... money and comforts may come with hard work and effort, I'm not asking for favors!

Gemeinsames Europa
Europe has a relatively open border system. The nation states still exist and their independence is still fully intact in most areas. In defense, a pan-European stance will also protect European economic interests. The people of Europe are trying to intensify common ground in order to strengthen and protect Europe's status.

Lavoro leggero e tempo per sè
In 2040 many jobs will be replaced or helped by technology, this means less time will be needed to do them. I would like to see us be able to divide the work among the same number of people, so that no one is left jobless, but give a lighter work schedule (half of today's) to everyone.

Every human being is valuable regardless of his or her nationality, age, level of education, etc. The state has high social guarantees. The unemployment rate is very low. The tax system is benevolent to the population. Income tax 15%, VAT max 18%. Maximum 4 working days per week. Free medical care, free higher education. Public transport is free. Utilities are cheap. Borders are open, people can travel where they want. There is no threat of war, there are no wars in the world.

peut être
I don't know because I'm 68. In 15 years, I may not be around to know whether 2040 will be the future. Let's remain optimistic, but in 2040, at 83, my life is behind me. I'm thinking of my son, his family and, above all, my grandchildren. Will France still be a democracy? Has the Great Replacement begun? Has war devastated Europe? No, none of this: people have mellowed, our leaders have found solutions for a peaceful world, the ecological revolution is beginning to bear fruit, and the world is calmer and more serene. My grandchildren are flourishing in their work and in their lives. Their future looks bright.
