Europe and its countries reborn

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I would like that in 2040 we have more resources available than today (not less, as some progress haters try to convince the people of), people have higher purchasing power, the US is gone from Europe and democratic freedoms are upheld and expanded (no such things as vax passes, arbitrary anti-free speech laws or handling of ordinary citizens like criminals).

Authoritarianism is on the rise and unfortunately the people are accepting it out of fear for their health, which has served for politicians in power to seize the opportunity to erode the democratic process. Citizens' reaction is being like the slow-cooking frog fable: while thinking it's in a comfortable hot spring, in reality slowly cooking over a gentle burning fire after a while, the frog realises that it's being cooked, but it's already too late to jump from the pot.

du dialogue en direct pour une meilleure compréhension
I'd quite like to see a big regression in social networking. People talking face-to-face to really say something to each other, not to make more or less kind comments. A greater tolerance of ideas would also be necessary, along with more compassion and humanity.

The year was 2040... I'm remembering the old days, I mean 2025 - 2000 approx. I remember the world was very different everything was less accessible and complex. Nowadays everything is simpler and of course the technology, it's on a much higher level. Apple Vision pro are already available to a lot more people and they are on the size of glasses. But at the same time, the good old days are still there.

I hope in 2040 I will have a beautiful child who will be smart and love me. I will be with my girlfriend and I definitely think I will have a good job with good pay to support my family I hope I will be healthy. I continue to think that ecologically I think that would be wrong. Either we should come up with something that won't pollute the planet so much or we send her to the Grove. I certainly thought we could have new means of transportation much faster. than they are today. It would be nice if it went the right way.

Forests It's 2040. The forests of South America have expanded in size and what was destroyed 16 years ago has been restored. The lungs of our country are breathing again. Indigenous tribes, including a diversity of animals, persist and expand their families. Air and water quality is available to almost everyone, and drought is gradually disappearing. New technologies are helping people address basic environmental issues, but there is still room for improvement.
