Retour sur la logique des choses

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I wake up one morning in the new year, 2040.
Like any other morning, I'm getting ready for an ordinary day.
Today, it's safe to walk the streets. Delinquency shaves the walls, since repression is harsh but fair, a little like in the Middle Ages, but effective (caning, reopening of prisons). Controlled immigration and the deportation of delinquents have contributed to all this.
Men have realized that women can do as well as, if not better than, them. That said, parity and quotas are a thing of the past - we live in a world of meritocracy.
Women are breathing a sigh of relief, and rapists and sex offenders are being severely punished. They have also understood that if they want to please, they have to accept being looked at, admired and approached by other people of all genders. In fact, there are now only 2, masculine or feminine. Non-binary people, those who feel like a flowerpot every 4 mornings..., are followed up for shrink failure.
Society has become fairer, and freeloaders no longer exist. People who live on assistance without ever working are no longer entitled to it. All work deserves a salary, so no work = no income or benefits.
Social security is on the mend, since we've stopped treating all the world's misery.
Young people are better educated, thanks to ever more innovative new technologies, but above all thanks to a culture of effort and hard work.
But above all, we've stopped doing anything that didn't make sense. For example, to import foreign products, they have to meet the same production standards. This encourages "local consumption", reduces carbon impact, and reinvigorates agriculture. Repair shops are to be found just about everywhere: no more systematic replacement, today we repair, just like in my youth. Containers are being reused, thanks to the return of the glass bottle deposit scheme.
Tourism has taken a knock, which seems normal to me, but it came late. If you want to preserve places, you have to protect them from man.
Apart from that, and it's not bad, I'm happy to have a quality of life like this, better purchasing power, better health, security, justice, well thought-out decisions but above all logic.
So, although this future makes me dream, I'm not going to be impatient to get there because I'll be 15 years older :-/

De la solidarité sociale à l'intelligence par l'investissement et le travail
The French, our politicians and European partner states are trying to correct the problems they have created by multiplying standards and administrative constraints, allowing distorted competitive trade and uncontrolled immigration. In 2040, competition is free and undistorted, in the sense that our companies are protected from European and international competition. Our Western values are defended tooth and nail. Priority urban neighborhoods no longer exist, because we've broken the all-social business. Local employment is preserved, and the social and political climate is calmer. Society is egalitarian because it is based on investment and work, not social debt.

die Gesellschaft in 2040
I would hope that the world is freed from war and that society grows together and is not so divided into individuals whose only goal is to hoard as much money as possible. Everyone should have the opportunity of a future-proof education. Good healthcare is appropriate for all people and not just for the wealthy.

Mein Optimismus das Positive in jedem Menschen in Verbindung mit KI
The future, is there a future? The instability that is currently putting every togetherness, i.e. partnership, to the test in all areas of life has divided people in our small communities and throughout Europe into two classes of people. I would like to see more togetherness and compromise in the future, regardless of color and origin, whether highly educated or less well-off. I have had a difficult year, with immobility, long hospital stays, operations and a new start. My optimism doesn't let me despair, but with the help of medicine and AI, which will be a great help and influence my actions, I will be able to cope for a few more years. A few years ago, I was still working on construction sites all over Austria and Germany with people of all races and backgrounds, and now I'm a pensioner. A life with respect for the Faroe Islands on YOU and you. Vacationing at the lake where people are already supported by small robots in the catering and service sectors. In medicine, nothing works without robots and AI and in the years to come, autonomy will also find its way into transportation in order to protect the environment and the climate. To be able to continue to experience this, we need a great sense of togetherness.

So könnte es aussehen, wenn wir aufwachen
We have returned to what is important. Nature, health, recreation and peace. Intact nature, clean air, living together with nature, animals and fellow human beings. We are discovering that it is no longer possible without shared values. Work is understood as a service to our environment and our livelihood. Modesty is once again a virtue. Quality and not quantity counts again. We only have one earth. Without renunciation, we will soon no longer exist. We are suddenly learning that all problems can be solved when we want to. When it is the "we" and not the "I" that counts.
