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.

Einigkeit macht stark
The Ukraine war and Trump's government have shaken the Europeans awake. Peace was imposed on Ukraine, Nato membership was prevented by the USA and admission to the EC was completed. The EC founded a joint army and stationed part of it in Ukraine. The bureaucracy was radically simplified, applications must be completed within 6 months at the latest. Great Britain is back in the EC. Decisions by the Council of Europe require 60 percent approval. The blockade attitude of individual states no longer exists.

Es wäre schön
It would be nice if viruses such as HIV and annoying pestilences such as cancer were considered eradicated in 2040. It would be nice if it were possible to determine at birth whether a child is likely to have serious illnesses that can then be eradicated immediately. It would be nice if inflation could be reduced to a minimum. It would be nice if religions no longer played a role. Because there are wars because of religion. Wars that can be prevented.

Future : retour vers le passé
In fact, I think the future is horrible; I'd like to go back to the real values of the 1970s and 1980s; I'd like a world without war, without violence, where people appreciate each other; I'd like to go back to a less technological world, while keeping the good sides of this technology, the useful side, but without scam, spam, with real encounters, not virtual ones.I'd like to rediscover love between humans, not this dehumanization where machines replace human contact.

Tout va bien dans le meilleur des mondes
For me, the future would be a world without war, with everyone getting on well, everyone getting enough to eat, no more fatal diseases in the foreseeable future thanks to advances in medicine, artificial intelligence and so on, tightly controlled immigration and the lifelong sheltering of all these criminals.
