Como assim isto é 2040?

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

It's 2040. Climate change continues to wreak catastrophic havoc on society and little or nothing is being done to slow it down or even stop it.
Science continues to evolve to the point where more and more artificial intelligence takes jobs away from us. How can we survive in capitalism if science takes away our livelihood? There are fewer and fewer people willing to teach because the hell they would have to try if then there is artificial intelligence that tells us everything in a much simpler and succinct way but in a monotonous way that makes us understand practically nothing.
With regard to politics. As such, the world continues to lag behind more and more. Where is the gender equality that so many women struggle with but that seems to be regressing? How are we being ruled by men in their 50/60/70 years who care only about the power and money they have? Why don't countries work together to make the capitalist system (the worst of all) better? Why are the poor always poor and the rich always richer? How did we stop the far-right governments we've been denying for 80 years and even 30 years? What happened to the world? What happened to each person's critical thinking? What happened to those who just wanted to unite everyone to have a better world? Where's everybody? Where are the democracies of 30 years ago and why are countries becoming dictatorships again?

The Eu will dissilve. USA, Russia and China come to maybe not ideal, but still mutuallí acceteble agreement where Euope will have no choice at all except to adjust to the new World order. They will have to nomalise their reletionship with everyone. All those who won't comply, will be exiles, as simple as that. No Brussels dictate any more. National goverments will prevail. No LGBT, only conservative approach.

International world
Ideally, I like to think of a future in 2040 for example, that is even more international that the world we live in today. In fact, I consider that nowadays, when compared to the previous years and the generation of my parents and grandparents, our reality is way more international and I've lived it myself. But I like to believe that in the future it will be even more easy to travel and explore other countries and share international experiences worldwide. However, I'm afraid that these expectations I have in mind for the future might be stopped by wars and international conflicts related to politics.

It's hard to think so far because I'm 75 now. Above all, I want my children and grandchildren to live in a safe world with democratic values, have the opportunity to work and education based on their conditions , have access to a nature that is not private and also a culture that is not expensive

Älter werden im Dorf
Ich bin älter geworden. Ich habe mir mit meinem Partner den Traum erfüllt, nochmal ein Haus zu bauen - im Garten des alten Hauses war ja schließlich noch Platz! Kleiner als das alte Haus ist es nicht geworden, dafür besser aufgeteilt. Wir haben uns in die obere Wohnung zurückgezogen - das Büro im Untergeschoss wird nicht mehr gebraucht, seit wir uns aus dem Arbeitsleben zurückgezogen haben. Jetzt dient es als Appartement, wenn Kinder und Enkel zu Besuch kommen. Unsere Nachbarschaft verändert sich ständig. Trennungen und Todesfälle sorgen für Wechsel. Die Häuser stehen nicht lange leer. Es ist sehr beliebt, im Dorf zu wohnen. Hier achtet man immer noch aufeinander und das Zusammenleben funktioniert. Es gibt viele Angebote für Jung und Alt, dem meisten Leuten ist es wichtig, sich ehrenamtlich zu engagieren. Insgesamt eine gute Umgebung, älter zu werden.
