It seems very important to me that we start slowly returning ‘back to time’, reverting to the community and ‘home’ the individualisation that the modern world requires of us. I believe that we are in the world to survive together – in the sense that not everyone works alone, but it is very important to interdependency from humans and to rely on each other. Everyone would contribute to society which would make up some of the necessary livelihoods. They would live in some kind of shared housing dependent on self-sufficiency and natural resources – i.e. surrounded by nature. I would not go to the job/after corrections each with his own car, but would share or make good bus/rail lines to make it easier to travel. We would resist a capitalist way of thinking that gradually leads society into a divide. People would have the opportunity to stop and breathe, look to themselves and each other. Everyone would have the right to life, a variety of minorities that are often overlooked, LGBTQ+ groups that are oppressed – it would essentially be a borderless world, as the border is an imaginary concept that inspires hatred and nationalism. It would not be absurd who and what we are, because we would all strive for equality and a beautiful tomorrow. In short, it is difficult to describe – but the whole system would work differently. Schools would learn something essential to survival and think outside the contexts in which we need to think today.

I envision a future where labor is not exploitative, where there is a minimum wage requirement, and workers are truly protected and not treated as mere numbers. People who at the end of their workday still have the strength and hope to go and live their lives outside. I imagine women not being refused contract renewals because they are pregnant or may be pregnant in the future. I imagine a world where people with disabilities are truly protected, backed by society, and where health care is free without having biblical wait times.

It's 2040, and aviation is finally reserved for business trips for which video conferencing contacts are insufficient. For private travel, each family can fly once every 4 years. Cruise ships have been banned since 2035. A universal income has been introduced, funded by corporate profits: anything in excess of 2% of ÇA in profits is redistributed. Executive salaries are limited to €15,000 and dividends to the same amount.

Arbeit in der Zukunft
In this future, we all have a four-day week or less. For the same salary and with the same efficiency, we only work three or four days, half of them in the office and half in the home office. We have more time for volunteering, raising children, continuing education, political engagement or just hobbies and sports.

De elektrische toekomst
I hope that by 2040 new forms of energy supply will have taken hold. That nuclear fusion reactors in the Netherlands will ensure that there is power in abundance, bringing the prices of energy down considerably. As a result, the prices of electric cars, appliances and household use will also hopefully go down and technology can make a big step forward. Smart homes are everywhere and there are hardly any CO2 emissions.
