Honest present (Iskrena sedanjost)

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

We talk about the future, but I would return to the past. Mutual relations and respect will be discussed. I believe that they have lost their values through global technological developments and a modern way of life. That’s why in 2040 I imagine a series of sincere talks between all generics and regardless of social attitudes. The coffee conversations will not be interrupted by the disruptive message, the father of the child will be able to engage in entertainment at sea with the children and will not be absent due to phone belling and “urgent” calls from the service. I also imagine animation of children other than playing games on a tablet and looking at cartoons. We are available 24 hours a day via phones, i.e. some can be reached at work 24 hours a day, linking it to the privativities of individuals and separating the job segment and private life. In my home words, I don’t want people to “carry a job home”. I again imagine that we start a frank discussion about the problems of individuals and we don’t sweep the problems, but solve them. Here, I remember Ana Karenina’s book, where the spouses fled up to 4 nights until they had solved all the problems and only then bred into bed.

Nazioni padrone in casa propria
nations free from absurd restrictions dictated by awakened fanaticism, free in thought and actions, a Europe of nations master in their own home, with citizens free to move and operate without the restrictions of a fanatical and self-referenced ecological movement. Immigration is 100% controlled and restricted. Each state with its own traditions celebrated and handed down to their children. Western culture is always protected and safeguarded because it is the engine of our growth.

Frieden, Zufriedenheit, Miteinander
There are no borders or wars over countries and power. People change their lives when they want to go where they want to go. Every person is welcome everywhere, learns the language and habits, contributes there and earns a living. People help and support each other. Satisfaction, trust, togetherness, the focus is on us.

2040 NOW
By 2040, Europe’s cities have blossomed into car-free, climate-resilient hubs where nature and innovation thrive. Streets once choked by traffic are now vibrant pedestrian zones lined with vertical gardens and solar-paneled rooftops. Electric trams and bike lanes connect neighborhoods, while drones deliver goods via green hydrogen power. Energy democracy reigns: communities co-own wind farms and solar grids, sharing surplus through smart systems. Waste is nearly eradicated—AI-driven circular systems repurpose 95% of materials, and urban farms in skyscrapers supply hyper-local food. Rivers once buried under concrete flow freely, flanked by parks where children learn in outdoor classrooms. Biodiversity surges as cities dedicate 30% of land to rewilding, linking green corridors for wildlife. Citizens breathe clean air, their well-being prioritized through affordable housing, green jobs, and inclusive decision-making. Europe’s transformation proves that cities can be engines of sustainability, fostering equity and resilience while reconnecting humanity to the planet. This future isn’t just green—it’s alive, democratic, and designed for all.

Un mondo migliore
I imagine a better future , more sustainable, where people will become more aware and consumerism will also decrease. The only thing that is hard to imagine is the world of work. I don't know if it will get worse thanks to artificial intelligence or I want to be hopeful and I want to think that maybe new technologies and artificial intelligence will even improve the world of work, will create new jobs, jobs that maybe I can't imagine right now
