Europe to my hypothetical daughter

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

20 years from now, my first kid is making plans for her Erasmus. She knows how much I loved my experience and she's excited to see the world on her own in a few years. The programme has been improved and adapted, so I'm not too worried about the financial aspect either. Until then, I'm taking her on lots of adventures throughout the entire continent. Not by plane but by trains, travelling sustainably is now more affordable than taking the car most times! She speaks 3 languages fluently and has native speaking penpals to practise with. We celebrate cultural diversity and heritage, we embrace patriotism as a strength to protect values of openness, peace and democracy for everyone.

For me, there will be no more wars. People will have had enough of suffering, of working long and hard so that certain people who do nothing and squat in the country can benefit. People will have voted extreme right for several years, Europe will still be present, trade with the USA and China will still be tense, but we'll be able to get by as a united country.

I would like to see from up there a world with no distinctions, no more wars no more colors, no more politics, no more media, no more capitalists, no more murderers, a world where nature and man form one,where man lives happily with other beings, with the animal world, with nature, a world where suffering and sickness no longer exist because man has finally found peace and lives on love, a world that feeds on the goods of the earth, a more spiritual world where everyone ..when he feels that he has finished his cycle, can extinguish himself as and where he wishes, but for this dream we will have to wait until whole generations of ruling families become extinct, it will take a long time and a destruction of part of the earth, the rest will certainly flourish again.

Hello, It's February 26, 2040, and Europe has finally unified. We are 32 independent states, but with a strong European government that can decide on certain global, environmental or conflictual issues. The United States of America has regressed economically, and is now only the 6th world power.Since the election in 2024 of Donald TRUMP (who ran his country like a business) and then the election of Elon MUSK (who thought that cars could all become airplanes, and who advocated the return of dictatorship), they have become a shadow of their former selves.With China, we have brought peace to African countries, and launched economic and agricultural programs to reduce poverty and excessive migration.
