In 2040, society could have reached common sense. With AI, excessive government spending has been cut and bureaucracy reduced and processes accelerated. Governments are more transparent and corruption is reduced. Less power for public authorities and more say for citizens. No more excessive taxes and restrictions on people's rights. There are no climate taxes or quotas to fill. Because the technology is sufficiently advanced, the wars are over. People have cooperation as a goal, not to be better and stronger than others. The emphasis is on the family model, which is advocated and supported by the state. Children's education is more about children's skills and interests, not about general level and that everything is the same as in the Soviet era. In the catering sector, the aim is to provide healthy food, not to chase profits. All decisions are made from the point of view of whether or not it makes a person's life healthier and more fulfilling. The focus is not on things, but on experiences, relationships and health. Not imposing the mixing of peoples on countries and letting countries and peoples be what they are and preserve their culture. The first humans have already been to Mars and humanity is interested in exploring and discovering space.

Wizja Europy
Europe needs peace and adaptation to the needs of our times. This means dealing with threats to democracy and, above all, actually complying with it. Social protection should be provided to citizens. This entails stopping the promotion of the so-called , Green Deal, which is leading to the impoverishment of society and the collapse of agriculture and the economy in Europe. Citizens expect solutions from Europe, and their anger stems from not seeing them. It is necessary to return to a model of Europe based on the full sovereignty of the Member States, which are self-determining about their citizens and their economy. This is guaranteed by the Conservative government, which will also ensure the deportation of illegal immigrants. Why do we need a European Union that, according to sick climate ideas, oppresses its citizens with idiotic ETS-type taxes. I hope that such an EU will go into the past and will only be a former bad dream of imaginary pseudo-democrats.

Viltinga ateitis su taika su visais
The prediction of the future is always risky. Even the prophets of the Bible did not speak far ahead, but judged the realities they saw and predicted the future precisely because of their discernment. There are 25 years left until 2040. Undoubtedly - technical progress (provided that we do not destroy, there will be no crazy and warlike neighbors left). The most important thing is the relationship between people. I don't dream of communicating with thoughts or thanks to implanted devices. I hope that in 25 years, people will remain, or perhaps become, empathetic to those around them and to the environment - living and non-living nature. They will stop devastating nature, wisely manage and use resources, perhaps they will control the unbridled desire for wealth and power, and democracy will take more sustainable and humane forms. And I'm hoping for smarter rather than dumber fellow citizens who won't run to hide when they see a flying passenger plane that leaves a "tail" of smoke and doesn't burn 5G towers... I hope for a reasonable breakthrough in the preservation and maintenance of health, keeping the criterion of reasonableness and not resorting to experiments that go beyond the limits of humanity and reason. Nature (or perhaps the Creator) draws new surprises in all areas. With the advancement of medicine, bigger and more complex challenges and ugly diseases appear (or are discovered). I said it! It's expropriating.

Social Interactions
In 2040, I hope that day to day life will not have changed too much from what it is now. I feel in the previous 15 years technology has leaped forward, sometimes for the better but not always. I hope that we continue to have more personal interactions and meet socially more often. While I feel it is great that we can contact anyone in the world quickly and effectively with mobile phones, messaging apps and video calling, I feel that we are losing that face to face interaction because everyone is glued to their phones and sometimes are missing life passing them by.

I do not have much imagination, but I think that progress always brings something good and through Europe you will be able to cross the railway, get off in the cities and regions that I want to see and again continue the journey to the next place. The train will be modern and fast, and the journey will be a lot of pleasure. Every man will be able to afford such a journey. Perhaps air travel will also be available to everyone and what you will travel will be a matter of individual choice.Every person will be able to see the beautiful cities of , like Brussels or Paris, you will be able to see the Loire Valley and the surroundings of Lake Garda.This would be a great relaxation after work, which today requires a lot of dedication from people and takes more and more private time. In the pursuit of money, we leave small and large pleasures behind us and do not think about what we lose.
