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?

Grandir dans le respect et la liberté

National education would have completely disappeared, to be replaced by a system of "free" childcare, where children would have access to tools (books, etc.) as well as workshops, places and materials, for tinkering, cooking, etc., and where they could carry out the projects that interest them, relying on the adult resources around them to teach them how to manage and gain self-confidence. I'm thinking of Summerhill-type schools or democratic schools where everyone can be welcomed without financial considerations. I think that today's schools are dragging young people down by not respecting their deepest aspirations, and I'd like children in 2040 to really be at the heart of their education, and no longer cohorts into which academic knowledge is injected. I want this respectful education to be open to all.

Bitte glaubt an unsere Jugend

We recognized and fought a climate crisis...and we lost. We realized too late that our "lifestyle" will cost many generations their heads. We still fought wars because we thought borders, religions, money or power were worth measuring in blood. We have marginalized people based on faith, skin color, sexuality or simple free spirit. We thought WE defined normal, determined the norm. But we have created generations that want to and will put an end to this. We have conjured up a battle and left the battlefield to our children and grandchildren. Now let them! Don't spoil it for them! We have already failed, now let them clean up the battlefield as THEY want. Support them and don't block them. You have been wrong for years, don't think that YOU now suddenly know the solution to the problem; you were the problem and now let the youth "attack" the problem too. Believe them, your narrow-mindedness must not cost so many people their future again. Much more: help them, help them with what you still have. Don't deny them the wish for change... you had these wishes too. And you know what it feels like to lose dreams and hope.

Demokrati i/og udvikling

In 2040 I am retired, but due to a flexible labor market I still have some working hours, especially online. The help I and other retirees need (at home) is customized to the individual due to the use of AI. The content of education has also become more individualized - while children and young people are also learning how to behave socially. Private motoring has been largely eliminated; a number of vehicles are available; they come and pick you up themselves. This saves on car and parking costs. An annual health check (voluntary) helps catch many diseases in their early stages, improving quality of life and reducing hospital costs.

Glück und Zufriedenheit

In 2040, the world has continued to grow together. Wars and exploitation are a thing of the past. Many diseases that were previously considered incurable can be cured. Faith in God has grown and people live together and for each other. AI takes over monotonous tasks and can make decisions. I like living in this time. The environment has recovered and climate change has been halted.
