Kohti reilumpaa maailmaa

The world has finally become aware of the harmfulness of data collection by various companies. Microsoft has been ordered to remove from its operating system the collection of any information that is not directly related to the maintenance of the system's functionality. There are also strict limits on the collection of data from social media and other software, which force users to respect their right to privacy. Requirements have also been set for social media algorithms so that campaigns that incite harassment and channels that encourage extremism do not get in the way. Elon Muskin X is completely banned in Europe because he has openly stated his intention to manipulate the elections and supports extremist parties.

The EU has increased its independence from the U.S.A. so that the actions of this volatile state do not cause much economic volatility. In fact, the EU has been able to increase its influence and cooperation with countries that have also suffered from the ruthlessness of the leaders of that great power. The EU has also recognised the Palestinian state and guaranteed its independence. Israel has been subject to sanctions similar to those imposed by Russia during the war in Ukraine. Fortunately, the EU decided to increase its support for Ukraine and gave full authority to use its weapons where they are needed, including on Russian territory, and Ukraine was finally able to take back the territory it belonged to.

Climate change has finally been taken seriously. Lobbyists of large corporations are mostly ridiculed for attempting to overturn climate-friendly laws that apply to them in the hope of short-sighted profits. Large plantations have brought a large number of new diverse forests to Europe. Reparability is required for technical products: Each part must be easily and reasonably priced. Sustainable products will benefit from tax breaks, while those found to be rapidly degradable will face massive increases in taxation. This is why both refrigerators and tights are durable nowadays.

A great deal of effort has been put into people's mental well-being: A healthy person doesn't rage. EU countries are required to provide a certain level of healthcare at a price that is also accessible to people on low incomes. The life of small entrepreneurs has been made easier, especially in countries where bureaucracy makes entrepreneurship difficult, even unprofitable, such as Finland. Small business is easy and profitable to do, even if it does not guarantee your entire livelihood.

One major change would be in the education system. Up to the sixth form, teaching would be as usual, except that a pupil would be assigned a personal teacher, specially trained for young children and young people, who would explain difficult subjects to them if necessary. From grade 6 onwards, each pupil, taking into account his future plans and personal interests, would draw up his own personal timetable, with optional subjects, and, if necessary, professional help and support in drawing it up. This would give him or her a better preparation for studying the desired profession. The fact that the student draws up his/her own timetable would give him/her more motivation to learn. Some classes or courses could be online, giving the possibility of a flexible timetable. Once a student reaches upper secondary level, he or she would have the choice between a regular programme of classes, with electives and a flexible timetable, or an intensive programme over one year. This would give the opportunity for inquisitive students, including those who go on to university, to enter the labour market earlier, for example medical students. Schools and classes would be equipped according to the specific needs of age groups. These are just some of the changes that would take place in the education system.

For me, social, communal values were always paramount. Material things were only there to provide the necessities of life. Healthy, simple food, preferably home-cooked, leads to a happy life. The food industry is taking the piss out of us just to secure its profits. It's not about people. All the advertising is falsified. Cooperation on a modest basis must be strengthened again. The focus must be more on people. Children must be taught this in their education.

Retour sur la logique des choses
I wake up one morning in the new year, 2040. Like any other morning, I'm getting ready for an ordinary day. Today, it's safe to walk the streets. Delinquency shaves the walls, since repression is harsh but fair, a little like in the Middle Ages, but effective (caning, reopening of prisons). Controlled immigration and the deportation of delinquents have contributed to all this. Men have realized that women can do as well as, if not better than, them. That said, parity and quotas are a thing of the past - we live in a world of meritocracy. Women are breathing a sigh of relief, and rapists and sex offenders are being severely punished. They have also understood that if they want to please, they have to accept being looked at, admired and approached by other people of all genders. In fact, there are now only 2, masculine or feminine. Non-binary people, those who feel like a flowerpot every 4 mornings..., are followed up for shrink failure. Society has become fairer, and freeloaders no longer exist. People who live on assistance without ever working are no longer entitled to it. All work deserves a salary, so no work = no income or benefits. Social security is on the mend, since we've stopped treating all the world's misery. Young people are better educated, thanks to ever more innovative new technologies, but above all thanks to a culture of effort and hard work. But above all, we've stopped doing anything that didn't make sense. For example, to import foreign products, they have to meet the same production standards. This encourages "local consumption", reduces carbon impact, and reinvigorates agriculture. Repair shops are to be found just about everywhere: no more systematic replacement, today we repair, just like in my youth. Containers are being reused, thanks to the return of the glass bottle deposit scheme. Tourism has taken a knock, which seems normal to me, but it came late. If you want to preserve places, you have to protect them from man. Apart from that, and it's not bad, I'm happy to have a quality of life like this, better purchasing power, better health, security, justice, well thought-out decisions but above all logic. So, although this future makes me dream, I'm not going to be impatient to get there because I'll be 15 years older :-/

La paix dans le monde
I'd like to see world peace in 2040, where people can travel and emigrate freely. To achieve this, we need to put an end to dictatorships, the desire to conquer territories, power and material domination, and live in peaceful, intelligent communities.
