Het nieuwe leven

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I think of living in a community, where each still has his/her own private home. Doing and experiencing things together if you feel the need. Freedom and happiness. No need to do anything. I also think of a communal garden, where food is grown and to which everyone contributes a small amount. An animal area with chickens for the daily fresh eggs, a place where the chickens are well cared for and can scratch freely. A few sheep and goats for wool and making cheese from the milk. With an area that is safe where they can graze, with a sheep/goat herder who has knowledge of the animals.Furthermore, I would like to be self-sufficient in the community in terms of electricity and home made biogas. That can also be made in our community. There is a space for a school where the children of the community from 4 to 16 years old can learn and a space where the children can relax and learn. For the very young, childcare has been arranged. For the adults there is room to work in the communty according to their own ability and desire. The money you earn in the community is 50% yours and 50% for the cost of living in the community. In the community there is an anthroposophic doctor and also a homeopath, for both humans and animals. There are also things like an organic store with vegetables and fruits from our own garden, a library, a play area for the children, a meeting room for the adults and all the household things that go with it like washing machines, kitchen equipment and sound and viewing equipment. And there are laundry rooms, a large kitchen with a communal dining room, a private TV and music/radio room and much more. Finally everyone has an input into the community and has something to say. Everything is decided democratically.

Ζώντας σε αρμονία με τη φύση.
In 2040 people live close to nature without stress. I live with my family near the sea, work out every day and enjoy the environment without environmental threats. I have animals and birds in the yard of my house and I spend many hours caring for them. Harmony with nature is reality.

w krótkim skrócie co nas czeka w niedalekiej przyszłości
I think that in 2040 there will be an increase in the gap between rich and poor areas. Unfortunately, wars and conflicts will probably not disappear, and the strongest countries will take advantage of the poorer ones. I am afraid that the level of environmental pollution will continue to increase and in 2024 humanity will have to support itself with some kind of masks with filters. In addition, we will be surrounded by a multitude of robots, which, among others, will mainly be used in areas such as care for the elderly. In addition, education will change completely in 15 years, traditional books, notebooks, exercises will be completely replaced by multimedia content and artificial intelligence will be used to a much greater extent in this area. Thinking about our country, if we maintain the pace of development, the whole country will develop, many areas will be even more beautiful, villages will become even more suburbs and "bedrooms" for larger cities, where professional work will be concentrated.

Civilization has not collapsed—it has been restored.
In 2040, the world has returned to its roots. Families are strong again, with men as providers, earning fair wages for a four-hour workday—enough to support their loved ones comfortably. There is no more endless striving, no exhausting rat race. Life moves at a natural rhythm. Consumerism has been replaced by mindful living. People buy only what they need, and nothing is wasted. Food is grown by local communities, free from corporate control. Every family has a home, built with care, not mass-produced for profit. The sprawling, soulless cities of the past are gone, replaced by self-sufficient villages where neighbors know and support each other. With less work and more time, people reconnect—with nature, with tradition, with family. Children grow up with their mothers at home, learning real values. The world is simpler, freer, and more human. Civilization has not collapsed—it has been restored.

Europa di tutti
2040 is finally the year of true European unity: Russia and the former Soviet states have also joined the EU. To celebrate this milestone, every citizen has had a free train ticket to use to get to know one of the new countries. A way to appreciate the new citizens and to rediscover a slow and eco-sustainable tourism.
