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.

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.

Zaļā un inovatīvā kopiena
I imagine that by 2040 Europe will have become a model of sustainable development, where technology and nature coexist harmoniously. Cities will be green and energy efficient, every building will have solar panels and vertical gardens. Public transport will be fully electric and emission-free, and citizens will travel by autonomous vehicles or bicycles. People will be actively involved in decision-making through smart city technologies and e-democracy tools.

Notre planète, une priorité absolue
In 2040, the world will finally have realized that our earth is the priority and that it must be protected, but after all these years of political and economic amnesia about protecting our planet, biodiversity and water, I really hope that in 2040, we'll get there. For this future, I want an awareness that man is not the king of the universe and that all forms of life have the right to exist and be protected. I want: beautiful forests with diverse species, large mammals that are no longer on endangered species lists, clean rivers that are no longer channeled, agriculture that respects the soil, insects and therefore people.

EU der offen Zukunft
Europe a common country that stands for progress and freedom. Where people, regardless of their ethnic origin, can live and develop freely and where there are no more dictatorships and autocracies that continue to restrict life here. The former right-wing populism has become history and there is now only a Europe without borders and without individual states with open borders to the outside. The EU with Russia and Ukraine is one of the most important players in the world and there are no more trade wars with the USA and China. Climate protection is on track, the economy is booming and everyone is very happy to live in the European Union of the future. That would be my chosen future
