Mateo woke up in his apartment on the 22nd floor. It was 5am, still dark outside, but the lights of the city were visible and it was beautiful. He went into the living room, got on the treadmill, started running, told the alex to play some of his favorite retro rock and thought about the day ahead. He has to pick up the kids for breakfast and drive them to school in his flying car. Gosh, a flying car. He remembered his father driving him through the streets and telling him how he needed to study to become a lawyer like him. He laughed. Lawyers are long gone, artificial intelligence took their jobs, good thing Mateo quickly found his way into the world of making computer games and got a wonderful job in one of the fastest growing industries. He got off the treadmill, told the domestic robot to make breakfast, made himself some coffee and sat in the chair thinking about his children. What kind of future awaited them in this fast-paced world, what kind of education to steer them towards. At one time everyone told him that there was no future in computer games, but now it was a major profession in this virtual world. He got up and walked towards the children's bedroom, oh children, what a future awaits you.

Reprenons le pouvoir
By 2040, a wave of nationalism will have invaded France and Europe. Countries will become sovereign over their territory, allowing them to reduce violence and growing insecurity in cities and suburbs. The French state will control the borders, fluctuating immigration and prioritizing the so-called French population, by expelling people with OQTF status. The state will cut costs by abolishing the aberration of mutual state aid. France will once again become a country imposing its laws and dictating rules on the continent with its European partners. Unfortunately, social inequalities will increase, due to high inflation, energy prices and the mismanagement of the various governments in power.

Schöne neue Welt
The world has turned to peace. The military and secret services have been abolished. There is no NATO or any other military alliance. Terrorism has been overcome by just political solutions, not by police violence. It was regulated that all nations have a good livelihood. This also brought migration to Europe and the USA to a standstill. The EU still exists, but is much more democratically structured and leaves a lot of decision-making freedom to the member states. Microplastics, glyphosate and all other toxic substances have been banned. Animal exploitation has been abolished due to inhumanity. People now only use their opportunities for constructive projects.

Heaven in earth
We've done it: the energy on our planet comes exclusively from renewable sources. We use wind, water and the sun, but also nuclear fusion without risk and without emissions. People have enjoyed an energy boost and there is no more war on earth. All people have equal rights - men, women and everyone else.

The calm
I would like to see sustainability goals actually implemented and put into practice. Seeing people come together and have discussions instead of screaming over each other. Communities coming together and sharing the burden of responsibility of a nation and governments that actually uphold their promises and run in more efficient manner. I don’t dream of huge developments or loud changes but instead, a calm world where everyone can finally relax.
