The war in Ukraine ended in 2025. In peace, Russia was committed to war reparations and retreated within its own borders. The popularity of populists was falling at the same time, and people were no longer gullible fools relying on false promises and lies. Trump had fallen ill in 2025, and in the U.S., the crimes of his regime were uncovered and led to new elections. Trade relations in the world had returned to a time of peace and human rights were better respected. The status of the Palestinians had also improved with the advent of their own state in 2026.
The lives of ordinary people had been improved by the revolution created by artificial intelligence. The power of internet search engines had crumbled as the search diffused to small servers and open programs. Industrial automation had taken a leap and production required even less labour. In many countries, working time was reduced and people spent their increased free time on various hobbies and studies. Travel had decreased somewhat and slow travel by sailing ships and sun trains was in fashion.
Inequality among people was reduced. Extreme riches and their use of power were curtailed by laws and regulations. Overconsumption had gone out of fashion and moderation was popular overall. The energy was largely produced by wind and solar power, and nuclear energy was also used. No new sources of energy had yet been developed, but the efficiency and energy savings of the former had been greatly improved. Attempts were made to restore nature, but too large a population still limited recovery.
All in all, life was about the same as 15 years earlier, just much calmer and more rational.

Zamišljam 2040. godinu kao svijet u kojem je klimatska kriza stavljena pod kontrolu, a obnovljivi izvori energije u potpunosti dominiraju globalnim energetskim sustavom. Odabrao bih temu čiste energije i održivog razvoja. Želio bih da do 2040. godine svijet bude vođen zelenim tehnologijama, gdje su solarne, vjetroelektrane, hidroenergija i napredne baterije standard, a fosilna goriva stvar prošlosti. Gradovi bi bili puni zelenih površina, zgrada s vertikalnim vrtovima i samoodrživih zajednica. Električni automobili, javni prijevoz na vodik ili baterije te pametna infrastruktura omogućili bi minimalnu emisiju CO₂. U ovoj budućnosti, ljudi bi živjeli u harmoniji s okolišem, reciklaža i ponovna upotreba materijala bili bi norma, a klimatske katastrofe smanjene na minimum. Globalna suradnja i razvoj novih tehnologija donijeli bi stabilnost i pravedniju raspodjelu resursa, čime bi se smanjilo siromaštvo i povećala kvaliteta života za sve. To je svijet kakvom težim – održiv, tehnološki napredan, ali prije svega human i u ravnoteži s prirodom.

Fantaziram
Instead of a short maternity mother, she could get a new job that is done from home to be with the child. Or he works part-time on a full-pay basis. In addition, bonuses and benefits for each subsequent child to boost the birth rate a little. The father would be a pillar of the family again. Children do not have to be condemned to spend their childhood in kindergarten. After that, the school system could prepare them for real life. They would learn the basic things necessary for the functioning of the household and the family. And later something from the profession that they are interested in and there is a real demand for it. At least 5 numbing subjects can be removed from regular classes because everything is available online (geography, history...) or the subject itself is unnecessary and boring to most children (musical, visual...). For 99% of things, one query to a chatgpt is enough, I can't imagine how much AI will progress in 15 years, mostly schooling is almost completely unnecessary. If the flow and similar tricks made by fools from children are banned, they could grow into relatively normal people who have a goal and purpose in life instead of just consuming air. They'd be paid at work, and they'd have time to rest. States would not fund all sorts of nonsense and would not absurdly print nonexistent money, we would turn more to the local community and self-sustainability. Pensions would not be needed, there could be some state social system that would allow pensioners to get everything free (up to a certain limit) instead of cash payments. They would live and work in smaller local communities. It's a pretty unrealistic scenario, because all those billions of dollars have to be washed away. There are no men of progress in us when greed and the desire for power reign.

Raggiungere l'immortalità
Technology has taken unexpected steps since 2025, today we can live 300 years with the appearance of a twenty-year-old, there is no need to work robots work and create economy for us. Teleportation is now a solid reality, the next step is to achieve immortality. We are almost eternal.

Utopia
We have a society where young people are free from the anxiety that characterised young people in 2025. There is still free education for everyone, it will. Our hospital system is more resourced and works more efficiently. It's enough time to take good care of the sick patients. The different therapists in the primary and secondary sector, as well as the municipal care staff, talk a lot and share information about the individual patient, so that no patient is lost in sectoral transitions or between therapists. It is a pleasure and a joy to live in a nursing home. There is peace in the world, and we no longer spend billions on war, gunpowder and bullets. We find that politicians who have really done something illegal are held accountable for their actions. For example, in the future they cannot be allowed to give orders for something where the legislation is not in place (think of the mink scandal under Covid). We can travel freely around the world without fear of political unrest, war and infection with serious diseases. All who can work, work according to their ability and contribute to society. There is no cheating on social funds. Corruption does not exist. Everyone has a fair standard of living. Workplaces are flexible in terms of making work/life balance work.
