Parempi huominen

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

Sota Ukrainassa oli loppunut 2025. Rauhassa venäjä oli sitoutunut sotakorvauksiin ja vetäytynyt omien rajojensa sisään. Populistien suosio oli samaan aikaan laskussa ja ihmiset eivät enää olleet hyväuskoisina hölmöinä luottamassa katteettomiin lupauksiin ja valheisiin. Trump oli sairastunut v. 2025 ja USA:ssa hänen hallintonsa rikokset paljastuneet ja johtaneet uusiin vaaleihin. Kauppasuhteet maailmassa olivat palanneet rauhan aikaan ja ihmisoikeuksia kunnioitettiin entistä paremmin. Myös palestiinalaisten asema oli parantunut oman valtion myötä 2026.
Tavallisten ihmisten elämää oli parantanut tekoälyn luoma vallankumous. Internetin hakukoneiden valta oli murentunut haun hajaannuttua pienille palvelimille ja avoimiin ohjelmiin. Teollisuusautomaatio oli kokenut harppauksen ja tuotanto vaati entistäkin vähemmän työvoimaa. Monissa maissa lyhennettiinkin työaikaa ja ihmiset käyttivät lisääntynyttä vapaa-aikaansa erilaisiin harrastuksiin ja opiskeluun. Matkustus oli vähentynyt jonkin verran ja hidas matkanteko purjelaivoilla ja aurinkojunilla oli muodissa.
Ihmisten eriarvoisuus oli vähentynyt. Äärimmäisiä rikkauksia ja niiden avulla vallan käyttämistä suitsittiin laeilla ja säännöksillä. Liika kulutus oli mennyt pois muodista ja kohtuullisuus kaikenkaikkiaan oli suosittua. Energia tuotettiin suurelta osin tuuli- ja aurinkovoimalla, ydinenergiaakin käytettiin. Mitään kovin uusia energianlähteitä ei vielä ollut kehitetty, mutta entisten hyötysuhdetta ja energian säästöä oli parannettu huimasti. Luontoa yritettiin ennallistaa, mutta liian suuri väestömäärä rajoitti edelleen palauitumista.
Kaiken kaikkiaan elämä oli suunnilleen samanlaista kuin 15 vuotta aiemmin, vain paljon rauhallisempaa ja järkevämpää.

Naturen er reddet
A technology has been invented that efficiently decomposes CO2 from the atmosphere and we are back to a world without climate change. The oceans are healthy with beautiful coral reefs and plenty of fish. The Nordic countries have winters with long periods of snow. Further south in Europe there are less frequent forest fires and normal amounts of rain that produce good crops. There are no climate refugees. People appreciate nature more and seek it out often. Animal welfare is also an important focus area and less meat is eaten. Smart phones and computers are used less often, and people are less available by phone/email both privately and at work.

Podróże w czasie
In 2040, the world looked very different from twenty years earlier. Poland had become a peaceful, safe country united around common values. The streets were clean, cities were well organized, and people lived in harmony, valuing their traditions and culture. There was an atmosphere of tranquility in the towns - children played fearlessly in backyards, the elderly strolled through parks, and neighbors knew each other and helped each other in their daily lives. Local communities flourished, and small family businesses grew, supported by modern technology and a conscious approach to the economy. There were no problems with crime or riots. The authorities were making sure that the country was developing in a sustainable and safe way. Young people had good prospects - they could get a quality education, develop their passions and be sure to find a decent job. Thanks to wise economic policies, Poland became self-sufficient - agriculture flourished, domestic companies produced modern technologies, and people enjoyed stability and prosperity. Society was united, proud of its history and ready to build a future in accordance with its own values. In the evening, sitting on the terrace of his home, John looked out at the peaceful streets and felt gratitude. He knew that his children were growing up in a world where they could feel safe, respect their roots and build a better future for future generations.

Unsere Hoffnung
There is no more war in Europe. The states have come to a good agreement and respect each other and their borders. All European states are part of the European Union and administer it jointly and amicably. There are no political or economic dependencies on other states. Agreements are effective here. Poverty and homelessness are exceptional cases. Everyone can get help. Migration is not a negative issue because people and their labor are welcome. However, people who have committed crimes are deported and have to return to their home country. Climate change continues to be a major issue, but work is being done worldwide to bring about change. Resources are being conserved and protected. Recycling is the norm.

Enfin libre
It's 7:30 a.m. the AI alarm clock comes on to give me the weather forecast, and also the traffic situation in the aerobuses. I get ready and head for the station, where I'll meet up with the regulars who live on the same community block. This weekend, weather permitting, I'll be able to spend two days away from the city in protected nature. I'm a middle manager in a company specializing in agronomy, we manage breeders and growers who work on very well-equipped farms. The world lives in peace and personal spirituality has replaced false religions. Politics, too, has been reduced and everything is run by assemblies of wise men aided by AI. There is no longer a dictatorial Europe, and everything is decided at local level by wise men who change every three years. All the lies of the former elites have been exposed and the protagonists heavily punished. Drugs have been almost totally eradicated, and specialized leisure centers offer even stronger sensations, but without danger or addiction. A great deal of attention is paid to children's education, and many harmful subjects are no longer taught. The death penalty has been reinstated for serious offences, and many judgments are handed down by the AI and upheld by sages.
