Creating a shared and inclusive future for all (human & non-human)

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I imagine a future that places where people live are inclusive for all species, and are designed through participatory and collaborative processes based on wellbeing and propesperity, rather than economic profit. I imagine a future that slowly moves away from economic growth and towards degrowth, trying to bring stability back to our ecosystems by regenerating them. I imagine a future where local government has more power, skills, and resources to care and address for the environmental and social issues rising within their communities in a democratic way. I imagine a future where everyday life is made more wholesome, by creating pockets of community, solidarity, and collective care, all the while work hours are decreased. I imagine a future where people of all backgrounds have equal rights, and where minorities are supported and celebrated. I imagine a future where the majority of local mobility happens on foot or by cycle. I imagine a future where we learn from the wisdom of our ancestors, rather than destroying indigenous communities and populations. I imagine a future where Western thought is not colonising the world, and other ways of being flourish and co-exist. I imagine a future where people's migration is not be feared, but to be welcomed. Because migration will be necessary, as we have utterly destroyed many parts of the world, making them uninhabitable.

Europa
A Europe where peace reigns. Travel is possible without any border controls. Everyone will be able to afford electricity from renewable energy sources. Public transport will be so well connected that you won't need your own car, even in rural areas. Car sharing will be used for larger purchases. The environment will be so well protected that even almost extinct animal and plant species will be able to regenerate.

Immagino
I envision a Europe where the dictates of political parties are just a bad reminder of how things have failed in the past. I imagine a single land of European peoples united by a common interest in solving their own problems, without having to deal with political assumptions that have led to the collapse and ruin of democratic states and the despair of so many citizens, who have lived and suffered within a community that should have solved so many problems and, instead, has brought new ones. I imagine my Europe, for which I fought my most tender years, free from the accartona politics, whose goal is the seat, it is their own "particulare," and not the family (that of others); it is the appearance at any cost, putting their signature on even the most unimaginable documents. They care little anyway, as long as they "enter history." So much for Europe, to which they fatten themselves by saying they are parliamentarians. I imagine Europe uniting peoples and people, but, not with a common currency, which has impoverished them. A Europe that is not carried away by the often morbid imagination of a few, and that, above all, the men and women who represent it, live on this earth!

Future : retour vers le passé
In fact, I think the future is horrible; I'd like to go back to the real values of the 1970s and 1980s; I'd like a world without war, without violence, where people appreciate each other; I'd like to go back to a less technological world, while keeping the good sides of this technology, the useful side, but without scam, spam, with real encounters, not virtual ones.I'd like to rediscover love between humans, not this dehumanization where machines replace human contact.

Tout va bien dans le meilleur des mondes
For me, the future would be a world without war, with everyone getting on well, everyone getting enough to eat, no more fatal diseases in the foreseeable future thanks to advances in medicine, artificial intelligence and so on, tightly controlled immigration and the lifelong sheltering of all these criminals.
