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.

Global warming has stopped, temperatures are falling again, hurray! Cars run on hydrogen and solid-state batteries, one charge lasts 2000 km. Plastic has been largely banned. The internet giants have been put in their place and must act in the same way as public broadcasters. The global population has been shrinking for 15 years. Most plastic has been fished out of the sea.

Budućnost održive energije
I want fossil fuels to be a thing of the past, and renewable sources from sun, wind and hydro to cover everything. From households to industry. Solar panels on the roofs of every building give us energy independence. Then the air would be clean, the oceans would be protected and climate change would be stopped. Electric cars and public transport are used. People are becoming more aware of the importance of respecting nature and we are living much healthier lives.

even if it is utopian to write anything about a future that is impossible for me to achieve ( given my age), a dream for my children and mine I might have, to halve the extravagance and selfishness, the thirst for money and power, to live without tax and financial oppression , politicians by the people, in an honest and true way, to try to leave a still livable and enjoyable earth to our grandchildren, to wake up from this deep sleep caused by these vile overlords of a world that is NOT theirs.

I had a dream, the dream of cities that look like villages, islets of trees, plants that separate neighborhoods, more hlm, residences, houses with gardens, collective gardens, plantations of fruit trees and of course, people know each other, help each other, exchange barter, furniture, clothes, food ... there are children playing on the street, they are safe, neighbors monitor them, there is an important associative life and investment, we feel responsible for our "neighborhood-village"
