Retour sur la logique des choses

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 :-/

People no longer have to starve and everyone, including children, get support and prospects for their future. future. Diseases such as cancer can be treated successfully. All people respect each other. That the welfare of animals is secured.

The possibility of a life where progress has reached the point where people are considered to be all the same and proles, regardless of status and place of birth. They who can and have the higher education are sufficiently socially acceptable to give the higher education to those who for some reason cannot. That there is no affirmation for the expansion of territory and killing in order to celebrate that the planet belongs to the world equally wherever it is born.

The world's political landscape is full of very diverse and differently minded statesmen who should have more intelligent and meaningful conversations with each other, knowing each other's history, respecting each other's customs and culture. Differences enrich our minds and add variety to our lives by seeing the daily lives of other nations. Also, the nature, plants, animals of different regions are ours to protect, not to destroy en masse for the sake of an animal body part or a tree species. If you hunt an animal, think about whether it is essential, perhaps you can replenish your body's energy reserves with what is available. Our planet is producing a mind-boggling amount of food that is doomed to perish, as is body clothing and other consumer goods and packaging. May the planet not one day drown under the rubbish we produce, both on land and in the water. The air is full of the microplastics we breathe in and other chemicals, and air quality is under great threat. The greatest wish is to live in peace with other countries and cultures, to see animals living in peace in their own environment and not polluting the air, water and land. Humans, as the most evolutionarily intelligent, must not give up thinking and working with their heads, because there is a great danger of being deprived of social interaction, leading to loneliness and overthinking. Robots may exist, but to a certain limit, which must be regulated, and not to produce pointless rubbish and destroy mineral resources, thereby causing the depletion of the earth as well as strife between countries and people.
