Find something you love to do – and pay for it (Βρες κάτι που να αγαπάς να κάνεις - και να πληρώνεσαι γι αυτό)

In 2040 I imagine and I hope that more and more people have found and earned a job that really loves them. Not to work with expatriation and with a sacrifice, not to feel wasting half of their lives simply because they have to survive, to stop waiting from the morning to arrive in the afternoon, from Monday to Friday, and so on, to wait every day (either on a working day or that) with the same appetite and passion for their work that they would find in, for example, a hobby. This should be achieved through real investment and engagement with children and young people since yesterday, by effectively integrating vocational guidance into secondary and tertiary education. By constantly reviewing and updating all existing and emerging jobs (university or non-orientation) and their respective lifestyles, personal analyses and psychological tests with a view to proposing alternatives for each individual, depending on their personality and irritation. But even for adult workers/unemployed/pensioners at all ages, there should be guidance structures for anyone who wishes to follow another path, operating according to the same criteria, while at the same time providing advice and an action plan to move from one object to the next.

An idealistic European future
Europe will have learnt from its past mistakes in terms of security and defence and economy. It will no longer be seen as a side partner with no real power when it comes to wars at its borders. It will be equipped and able to deter foreign threats, both military and online. While having strong foreign partnerships, it will no longer rely on third countries to provide it with rare materials, energy or manufacture critical products. It will have understood that companies are critical to its social welfare and adapted its regulations to European companies' needs. Energy and life costs will no longer be an issue for Europeans as there will have been investments in new nuclear technologies, incentives given to companies to produce in Europe in a simplified regulatory framework, taxation, social and labour costs will be harmonised and education will be again a strong pillar of the society.

What a relief we have left behind in the 1920s with all that succession of intertwined crises that seemed impossible to resolve! What a relief that we no longer have to think about whether democracy is in danger or live in the permanent uncertainty of whether there will be a reactionary retreat from everything that cost us so much to win! Just as we were finally aware of the physical limits of the planet and the doughnut economy succeeded capitalism, we were also aware of the limits of our democracies with mass debates that prevented (at last!) cruel authoritarian demagogues who did not believe in the values of democracy from seizing power again. I don't know how we could live with this permanent anguish... . No more gerontocracies, no more idycracies, no more techno-auritarism, no more perpetuation in power. AI is no longer a private business of billionaires who (finally!) were forced to distribute 90% of their fortune, as had already happened in the 50s of the last century. It has put itself only at the service of solving the great problems of the world. What a relief too that money no longer moves the world! All this was possible because the Constitution of the Land of Ferrajoli was approved and launched in 2030, the Magna Carta that protected all our global problems. The nature of which we are a part and without which we cannot live is especially protected. The Constitution provides a framework for everything to be solved diplomatically. Since its approval, the wars have ended and the genocidal people of the past have been severely judged. Yesterday we celebrated the feast of #Nevermore. If I have to describe what life is like now, the word that comes out is calm. Without constant threats to our safety and well-being, day-to-day life is placid.
