I meet the beautiful morning of the year 2040 on the terrace of a social care home next to the river, among green trees. A holographic projector on the World News Channel has reported on the great strides being made in providing food for Earth's citizens. The generation of nutrients carries more than enough food. Thanks to the efforts of the European government, a large number of citizens who are no longer able to work actively are living a dignified old age in social care housing. In the welfare state environment, citizens contribute to the processes of the state to the best of their abilities. People actively participate in education and technology courses, which allows them to maintain their skills and keep up with the rapid development of technology. Most of the problems that triggered military conflicts have been resolved, and a large part of military spending is devoted to improving citizens' welfare and livelihoods. Developed countries are using renewable energy sources, and as energy becomes more expensive, more and more products are being developed to improve citizens' livelihoods and education. Increasing amounts of land are being reclaimed as environmentally friendly. International peacekeeping forces are successfully controlling the few remaining regions of the planet that are still vulnerable to conflict.

Ausflug
In the year 2040, I take a trip. The ugly wind turbines that disfigured the landscape several years ago have been dismantled and properly disposed of. Instead, trees have been planted again and the birds are singing. Electricity prices have fallen again and supermarket prices have also remained stable because someone is finally in power who puts people's real health first. In the distance, the 5 G antennas on the prefabricated buildings have disappeared again because people have remembered Nikola Tesla, who said: "Everyone can get electricity for free. More oaks, chestnuts and beeches have been planted again and no longer the small ornamental trees. After I've had a rest and looked at the vegetable fields, which are now fertilized with natural substances, I make my way to my quarterly appointment with a naturopath, which everyone can now attend free of charge once a quarter, because it's a preventative measure to make sure I'm eating healthily and that my mineral levels are in order so that I don't get sick in the first place.

Gemeinsames Europa
Europe has a relatively open border system. The nation states still exist and their independence is still fully intact in most areas. In defense, a pan-European stance will also protect European economic interests. The people of Europe are trying to intensify common ground in order to strengthen and protect Europe's status.

Lavoro leggero e tempo per sè
In 2040 many jobs will be replaced or helped by technology, this means less time will be needed to do them. I would like to see us be able to divide the work among the same number of people, so that no one is left jobless, but give a lighter work schedule (half of today's) to everyone.
