Scientific research as a hub for the future's needs

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

In my desired future, science would become the cornerstone of the EU budget. With a better scientific knowledge of the world around us, Europe would drive good reforms not only in the primary and the secondary sectors of our economies, but also in health and education. In the primary and secondary sectors, it would allow us to become more competitive by taking advantage of our already great potential for developing high-level technologies in comparison to other regions. This way, the EU would become more efficient in every economic activity (which also means less environmental impact) and, also, more strategically independent. In health, quality of life for our elders would be increased, hopefully to the point of partially preventing aging. By achieving this, people would remain socially and workwise functional for more years. Apart from the inherent personal and social direct advantages, this would avoid the long-term budget crisis that lots of European states can face as their populations get older. As for education, pedagogy and psychology, helped by new technologies, would guide the adequate reforms, adapted to each country, that prepared the youth to become highly skilled, global citizens. Having this kind of citizens would, in turn, boost the EU economy (through increased adaptive enterpreneurship) and also the quality of its political aspect: it would promote critical attitudes and a proactive citizenship.

Back to Nature
The climate, nature and its creatures have recovered. Humans got their act together just before the big bang and were given a second chance. There are no more factory farms, meat consumption has fallen by 80% and humans and animals live in harmony with nature. All dictators have been overthrown and democracy has found its way into every country in the world. Togetherness is the magic word of the new era.

Souveraineté enfin !!!!!!
that all countries in the world be sovereign, that the European Union no longer exist. Let's go back to common sense, i.e. let's make each country vice in Autarchy, and let's send all migrants back to their respective countries, so that peace will be more certain and there will be less crime.

Ausflug
In the year 2040, I take a trip. The ugly wind turbines that disfigured the landscape several years ago have been dismantled and properly disposed of. Instead, trees have been planted again and the birds are singing. Electricity prices have fallen again and supermarket prices have also remained stable because someone is finally in power who puts people's real health first. In the distance, the 5 G antennas on the prefabricated buildings have disappeared again because people have remembered Nikola Tesla, who said: "Everyone can get electricity for free. More oaks, chestnuts and beeches have been planted again and no longer the small ornamental trees. After I've had a rest and looked at the vegetable fields, which are now fertilized with natural substances, I make my way to my quarterly appointment with a naturopath, which everyone can now attend free of charge once a quarter, because it's a preventative measure to make sure I'm eating healthily and that my mineral levels are in order so that I don't get sick in the first place.

Gemeinsames Europa
Europe has a relatively open border system. The nation states still exist and their independence is still fully intact in most areas. In defense, a pan-European stance will also protect European economic interests. The people of Europe are trying to intensify common ground in order to strengthen and protect Europe's status.
