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.

Realistische Dystopie

In 2050, the earth will not be a better place than it is today. People will still be fighting senseless wars and hatred will not have been overcome in either the real or the virtual world. Resources will become scarcer in some areas, but intensive research has found ways to largely compensate for this. The division of the world has also changed. Countries that used to play a leading role in the economy and politics have, in some cases, become insignificant players on the brink of regression from industrialized to emerging economies as a result of bad decisions by egomaniacal politicians. Neither their energy supply nor the shortage of skilled workers can be brought under control. Religious beliefs will play a greater role and minorities will often dictate to majorities how they should behave. Woke-ness will largely eradicate feminism, so that everything women have fought hard for for decades will dissolve into nothing. We are abolishing ourselves, human dignity, human rights and democracy because we make everything equally bad and insignificant out of a misunderstood understanding of tolerance. Only the stupidity of humans will not die out, but will become even greater, while the AI secretly laughs and is happy not to be homo "sapiens".

Familie

I would like it to be easier to build and convert houses. That young families are given more support so that they can have a secure home. I also hope that my children are better supported by the state in their own child planning and that they feel financially secure during their parental leave

Le temps qui passe

The morning sun filtered through the dense foliage of the trees lining my Parisian apartment. Once a gray, noisy avenue, my street was now a verdant oasis, where birdsong replaced the roar of cars. The transformation of Europe had been radical. In 2025, we were on the brink of a climatic precipice. But a global awakening had taken place. Europe had embarked on an ambitious reforestation and sustainable development project. Cities were redesigned, and nature reclaimed its rights. Gasoline-powered cars disappeared, replaced by electric vehicles and efficient public transport. My day began with a bike ride along the old tracks, now transformed into winding cycle paths through parks and forests. Lunch consisted of fresh, local produce grown on rooftops and in community gardens dotted around the city. The afternoon was devoted to work, but even the offices were green and bright, with open coworking spaces and soothing views of the surrounding nature. Life in 2050 was slower, more conscious. We had swapped the frantic race for a pace more respectful of our environment and well-being. Europe had become a model of sustainable development, a society where technology and nature coexisted in harmony. And every day, I was delighted to have contributed, in my own small way, to this transformation.

Un espoir de bonheur collectif.

A European future capable of managing international crises with clear and precise objectives. Perhaps a new constitution less oriented towards a liberal economy (which doesn't mean freedom at all) but more towards respect for individual freedoms in relation to multinationals, more ecology, more autonomy in terms of food self-sufficiency. A greater capacity for energy autonomy, too, by being inventive in this area. Mass investment in research in this field would be an option. Regaining our pharmaceutical sovereignty would be reassuring. It would also be reassuring to see a return to social progress, and to stop blaming the weakest members of society (women, the unemployed, immigrants, etc.), who are not responsible for the crises we're going through. The culprits are the economic system (mainly liberal) and over-protected professional politicians. Limiting personal fortunes might be an interesting way of avoiding an oligarchic drift.
