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 :-/

In 2040, I will be almost 90 years old. Hopefully I'll still be mentally fit and won't have too many ailments so that I can still cope with everyday life. Perhaps medicine has been researched to such an extent that it can give people a longer life. This is particularly beneficial for young people who still have their lives ahead of them. A life in peace and freedom to explore the world, as we had in our youth. I wish us old people a dignified existence, available care options and a financial livelihood, as we will need a lot of money in old age to maintain a certain standard of living so that we don't end up in poverty in old age.

Udržitelná budoucnost: Svět v harmonii s přírodou
In 2040, I would like to see the world make significant strides in **sustainable energy and environmental protection**. I envision a future where the majority of energy comes from renewable sources such as solar, wind and geothermal, and where fossil fuels are a thing of the past. This change would significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow global warming. In this future, cities would be full of green spaces, with vertical gardens and vegetated rooftops to help regulate temperature and improve air quality. Transportation would be mostly electric, with autonomous vehicles to optimize traffic flows and minimize congestion. Public transport would be fast, efficient and accessible to all. People would live in harmony with nature, with an emphasis on recycling and zero waste. Technology would help us monitor and restore ecosystems to make them healthy and resilient. Education would focus on sustainability and environmental awareness so that everyone understands their role in protecting the planet. This future would be one of optimism and cooperation, where humanity works together to create a better world for future generations. It would be a place where we would feel proud of how we have risen to the challenges and created a sustainable and prosperous society.

Maaseudun tulevaisuus
I live in the countryside.There the birds sing and the air is clean to breathe.I live in a small wooden house and there a small sauna cottage.I grow mainly my own food,in my small garden.The small village shop is some distance away.There are also the necessary services,what is now needed.Bank,gasoline station,kiosk,doctor and medical care, etc. A little further is the city,where we have more extensive services.We go to some kind of exchange economy among our neighbours.Someone raises cattle,where we get meat.Someone likes a chicken, where we get eggs.Someone cultivates grain and vegetables,flowers,berries, etc. Someone knows how to craft and sew.Work is remote work or at least partially.Life is peaceful, the air is clean and fresh,health is good from clean food and the exercise brought about by its upbringing, as well as a lifestyle that produces basic exercise.Maybe there could be something for pets,dogs and cats.This would be ideal for life,without hurry and stress.Without diseases and depression.
