I live happily on the shore. At the end of winter, I can put my small sailboat back in the water to go back fishing and enhance our food. All winter we ate what we sown and harvested. We live comfortably in a self-contained house (roof panel, water recovery). The entire global power grid has been shut down since the various wars. Everyone must manage alone or in community. The more no industry, the more nothing works; everything has to be done again, we find ourselves at the same level as our grandparents in their time. The world has been destroyed by wars, artificial intelligence. The positive aspect is the return of nature and nature, the work of its hands, safety and community life.

A bio-economic EU
I would like to see a future where people have access to and purchase food that is largely plant-based, varied and provide elements for a healthy diet. School education includes learning about how food is produced and how to produce it with minimum environmental damage. Agro-ecology is mainstream in agriculture. The EU is largely independent from fossil fuels and uses less and renewable energy.

Peace, respect and well-being
In 2040, I would like that the future life will be peaceful and without economic, political or idealogical tensions. People will be caring about nature, will be respectful and caring about the well-being of the society as a whole. Competition in school or work performance won't be promoted but there will be rather an environment that gives the possibility for learning, discovering, stimulating curiosity.

Free thinking, polite talking
No waste: in 2040, humanity has realised its impact on environment, including fellow humans. While circularity of material is in full swing, thoughts are also not wasted. Along the polarisation trend: Thinking goes wild, with another impetus given to personal freedom, equality and empowerment of marginalised citizens. Tools are made available to consciously record thoughts and dreams; Yet communication around the thoughts is constrained: reactions are delayed, so that messages are filtered and polished to respect sensitivities.

a future without people
I hope people dont lose themselves in the future. I don't know how technology will be, but our life will become easier with artificial intelligence and robots. I think it will be thanks to technology that people will be able to live longer. Even though the complacency is high, life will be tough.
