Family first

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

In 2040 I will have a 19, a 24 and 26 year old. I hope that we are able to stay close as a family. We would be able to live in close proximity with each other so I can help my children start their own lives. House prices are more reasonable so they don't have to move far away. I can see them often, child mind my grandchildren and travel with them. I don't want my children to be swamped with debt from huge mortgages, I want them to be able to continue their careers after having children and not have to give up work because of lack of affordable childcare. I us to able to travel together both locally and on ferry to France and UK without it being cheaper to get a flight to Spain for a week than stay locally for a weekend. I want our local government to put people first, building communities instead of just houses. I want my children not to have to worry about going to the doctors because it's too expensive or where will their children go to school because there isn't enough spaces for the amount of houses built. I want my children to be happy and to be able to make memories with them. I want my future to be family!

L utopique age d or
People no longer eat animals, forests are protected, there is only one god, the universe. Cancer is eradicated. Weapons are banned. Nuclear bombs are defused all over the planet, hundreds of millions of trees are replanted, the conquest of space is the top priority. Esperanto is the universal language, and live and let live has become everyone's motto. Last but not least, the human population does not exceed ten billion.

Freiheit
I want to live in a future where there is no more dictation from above, where I can freely say what I think without fear. It's peaceful on the streets, there are no concrete blocks at our Christmas markets and our countries are once again mainly inhabited by locals. Guests are always welcome, we swap stories and talk about each other's culture. Then we go back to our home countries and tell them about it. We are all friends. Nature is growing and flourishing. There is no longer a CO2 tax, as CO2 is necessary for plants to grow. The air is clean. There are no more wind turbines killing our birds and the populations have recovered. An eagle is circling above again. Chemtrails no longer exist and those responsible for this manipulation have been brought to justice. Schools and universities are once again places of learning and wisdom and not corporate hives of interest. There is peace around us and within us.

Préservation du bien vivre
It's hard to imagine the future with all the advances in technology, which have both positive and negative points. I'm thinking more about the future in terms of nature. I'd like to see nature, especially flora and fauna, protected, and for people to stop consuming at will and doing anything with waste and, above all, over-consumption. We have to move with the times, of course, but growing our own fruit and vegetables is an important way of knowing exactly what we're eating, and a way of sharing and exchanging when there's too much production. Tynis houses are interesting and economical, and I think they'll evolve over time.

Frieden und gutes Klima
A world without despots and idiots in power, worldwide. We have achieved the climate targets and things are green and blooming everywhere. The economy is also flourishing and global trade and change are functioning smoothly. The wars have ended and the global community has become sensible. People are concerned about important social issues and not about taking over other countries.
