Perception/conscience

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

December 31, 2040: After several years of political and economic violence in 2025-2027. Little by little, nations have understood that they must live together, balancing the planet's resources. The consciousness of each individual has on the whole developed, gradually leading to a better understanding of one another. Strangely enough, this collective awareness seems to favor the birth of new ideas. Researchers seem to be able to concretize the use and role of light and sound in our interactions with each other and with the globality of our environments. These discoveries have reduced the fascination and power of the AI system, putting it back in its place as a simple development tool; vocabularies are changing, and the means of communication transformed by the use of light matter and sound waves are harmonizing with the development of other species. If I had written this in 2025, I would have been considered an unrealistic utopian. Yet our current preoccupations, awareness that we still have to discover where we are and what our "usefulness" is in this galactic universe. Faith and belief remain strong, all the more so as our researchers are projecting new fundamental discoveries in 2050. In particular, certain filaments discovered during our olfactory explorations have been identified as beings or doorways?

Wizja Europy
Europe needs peace and adaptation to the needs of our times. This means dealing with threats to democracy and, above all, actually complying with it. Social protection should be provided to citizens. This entails stopping the promotion of the so-called , Green Deal, which is leading to the impoverishment of society and the collapse of agriculture and the economy in Europe. Citizens expect solutions from Europe, and their anger stems from not seeing them. It is necessary to return to a model of Europe based on the full sovereignty of the Member States, which are self-determining about their citizens and their economy. This is guaranteed by the Conservative government, which will also ensure the deportation of illegal immigrants. Why do we need a European Union that, according to sick climate ideas, oppresses its citizens with idiotic ETS-type taxes. I hope that such an EU will go into the past and will only be a former bad dream of imaginary pseudo-democrats.

Viltinga ateitis su taika su visais
The prediction of the future is always risky. Even the prophets of the Bible did not speak far ahead, but judged the realities they saw and predicted the future precisely because of their discernment. There are 25 years left until 2040. Undoubtedly - technical progress (provided that we do not destroy, there will be no crazy and warlike neighbors left). The most important thing is the relationship between people. I don't dream of communicating with thoughts or thanks to implanted devices. I hope that in 25 years, people will remain, or perhaps become, empathetic to those around them and to the environment - living and non-living nature. They will stop devastating nature, wisely manage and use resources, perhaps they will control the unbridled desire for wealth and power, and democracy will take more sustainable and humane forms. And I'm hoping for smarter rather than dumber fellow citizens who won't run to hide when they see a flying passenger plane that leaves a "tail" of smoke and doesn't burn 5G towers... I hope for a reasonable breakthrough in the preservation and maintenance of health, keeping the criterion of reasonableness and not resorting to experiments that go beyond the limits of humanity and reason. Nature (or perhaps the Creator) draws new surprises in all areas. With the advancement of medicine, bigger and more complex challenges and ugly diseases appear (or are discovered). I said it! It's expropriating.

Social Interactions
In 2040, I hope that day to day life will not have changed too much from what it is now. I feel in the previous 15 years technology has leaped forward, sometimes for the better but not always. I hope that we continue to have more personal interactions and meet socially more often. While I feel it is great that we can contact anyone in the world quickly and effectively with mobile phones, messaging apps and video calling, I feel that we are losing that face to face interaction because everyone is glued to their phones and sometimes are missing life passing them by.

I do not have much imagination, but I think that progress always brings something good and through Europe you will be able to cross the railway, get off in the cities and regions that I want to see and again continue the journey to the next place. The train will be modern and fast, and the journey will be a lot of pleasure. Every man will be able to afford such a journey. Perhaps air travel will also be available to everyone and what you will travel will be a matter of individual choice.Every person will be able to see the beautiful cities of , like Brussels or Paris, you will be able to see the Loire Valley and the surroundings of Lake Garda.This would be a great relaxation after work, which today requires a lot of dedication from people and takes more and more private time. In the pursuit of money, we leave small and large pleasures behind us and do not think about what we lose.
