The digital age that should mark people’s improved and more comfortable lives has shifted a balance of modern human beings. Any real feeling and experience is now considered obsolete and anything we are new to try, banal. Social networks determine our relationships, which either do not expand or do not evolve to a large extent in their absence. At the same time, society suffers from difficult economic problems. Corrupt governments of states could only bring the situation to the end of the barley. A barbour that can only be crossed with real values. But also. Ethical principles are missing from governments, civil servants, education, young people from all over the world. Every act is considered normal as long as it satisfies our egoism. And if this egoism leads to at least one subtle spiritual investigation or an attempt to rehabilitate the labour market, we are lucky. Because most of them imitate the prominence and dreams. Most try to win the beauty when it should not have a place in their lives. What beauty do we talk to? Each defines it differently. The issue is that what is now considered to be a “coul” is often the one that destroys the whole. But everything is good! The cigarettes in each recess are scattered, such as margarites on a mountain pasture, and the graffiti are fired in the urban galleries, making a spectacle... What beautiful our cities are! Car smoke does not disturb us. Forgotten bins do not tempt us. It is enough that our cities are not flooded by climate change. It is enough that COP27 did not discuss us at all, but about something bitter African farmers who cannot feed their children.

If at least half of these problems could be solved by 2040, I would be happy. But we will find the values to bridge the gap between modern realities and real life?

Este es es nuestro futuro: el que queremos.
In this year 2040, Europe has made great progress on many points, but I will focus on three of them. 1.- Mobility and transport: Thanks to adequate investment and public awareness, all public and private passenger and freight transport has been made clean and renewable, having achieved a transport network in which all fuels used generate neither polluting emissions nor waste, and at the same time a transport network has been created that connects the entire European Community and its non-Community neighbours in a rational and efficient way. 2.- Equity and social justice: Thanks to the great agreements at European level, with all social actors, state, workers and companies, society has been based on equality, so that the distribution of money is much more equitable and fair than in the first twenty years of this century. There is no risk of extreme poverty, no unemployment, no hunger, no unmet housing needs. 3.- Food and agriculture: In this way, the consumption of local agricultural and livestock products has been promoted, eliminating large plantations and macro farms. Currently, small producers are the ones in charge in the market.

For me, the most important issue is environmental and climate protection. Already the world is struggling with problems related to climate warming, fires, floods, hurricanes and tornadoes, every day there is some extreme cataclysm somewhere. Peace on earth is also very important, but I have no influence on it. I'm afraid we're striving for our own destruction.

I wish there were no poverty, no disease, no altzheimer, no wars and that everyone could live without worries about the essential aspects of human life and also good treatment of animals. that we could conserve nature without the harmful effects of atmospheric change, without floods.

Worse for most, good for few
As world hasn't gotten into an agreement about changes regarding the climate change the world has gotten much warmer. Population has either started shrinking in areas that are no longer easily habitable or started moving towards better areas which are now getting crowded. This of course affects health and wellbeing of the population. Technology/science rushes forwards with the possibility to live off planet sooner rather than later it seems that the option is only for the most wealthy. It is true that technological breakthroughs could also make lives easier and better but at what cost? There are always those who'd profit which in turn makes benefiting from said progress expensive for everyone. Working definitely might change with automatic/remote controlled robots or such. But still the lower classes would'nt have that luxory. Notes about the quiestionaire. The given/estimated 5 minutes is nowhere near enough time to collect thoughts/visions about possible future. Also there was no option to decline after clicking the link in email as there usually is.
