Een toekomst met vrijheid en gelijkheid

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

The theme I want to talk about for the year 2040 is freedom and equal opportunities. By 2040, Europe should securely guarantee freedom and equal opportunities for all its inhabitants in all areas: in terms of gender, education, mobility, access to medical care, government support, religion, occupations, physical disabilities, etc. It cannot be absolute freedom, because everything must go in respect to the fellow man, but the opportunities must be equal for everyone. That means that the government must create a form of deliberation that approaches democracy, but does not necessarily have to be exactly the same ? Forms or variants of democracy can be devised that refine and eliminate the inconvenients, such as blocking mechanisms by small minorities or by the super-rich, fragmentation of the political landscape that paralyzes national government for too long and so on. Equality does not mean that everyone should have or get the same thing, but that better balances are found, including the containment of profitariat. Equality also means thinking that extreme (and therefore unequal and unfree) thinking polarizes and actually puts a brake on freedom and equality. In this way, we can eliminate anomalies and injustices in society and find a better balance to really get along with everyone, regardless of disagreements or views.

Mon rêve pour les nations
I hope that nations will have understood that borders are indispensable for the survival of peoples, and must be re-established. I also hope that the European Commission will no longer be corrupt (we can dream...) or phagocytized by a corrupt woman and her minions. I hope that the national peoples will understand that it is up to them, and only them, to decide their future. Europe is just a continent, it is the countries that matter and must be sovereign at home. I would like, when I travel, to be able to do it safely, and discover the particularities of each country, without being in a standardized universe, otherwise, what interest is there in traveling? I would like countries to protect themselves and their nationals, and we should no longer be seen as the trash can of the world, where we can send all waste, whatever it may be. Let nature, animals, be respected and no longer exploited for the benefit of a minority that sees itself as an elite.

I think that European life and people in 2040 will be completely different from what they are today. I will in principle be 86 years old, and I believe that if I go out again I will no longer recognise the places I know as they are today. With the immigration of people from communities and religions different from ours, which is growing at a very high rate, it will be necessary to share work and wealth so that everyone lives decently and intelligently. But can I still say that the future of the generations of my children, grandchildren and others anguish me a lot, and that I am not the only one who thinks so?

Utopia is important because it allows us to hope ... Let's imagine! it's spring and the small flowers, violets, pikelets, blueberries, worries..., decorate our gardens without pesticides, without fertilizer because the soil, well worked for years no longer needs all these artificial aids. And children, teenagers run into this garden. They are at peace, they are good because their parents have instilled in them the essential rules of life in society. And the school has trained them by teaching them, not, ready-made formulas that it is enough to know by heart, no, by giving them the opportunity to train in everyday life with the help of the oldest who share their knowledge. And on their plates, at meals, they eat vegetables grown near their homes by responsible farmers. No more ready-made dishes bought in the super markets, almost all of which have disappeared or, at the very least, have changed the way they sell... Utopia!!

Autonom fahren
I would love to be able to drive autonomously. This would be especially important for older people from the country, as there are often no shops and doctors there anymore. So you can participate in life even with physical or mental limitations. In addition, the traffic is unraveling, there are fewer traffic jams, the traffic is more fluid and there are fewer accidents.
