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.

Umweltfreundliche Zukunft
In my future, more emphasis would be placed on the climate. There would be more research into renewable energy, the lifespan of technical products would be significantly longer and they could be repaired cheaply everywhere. Consumption would be sustainable and meat would be significantly more expensive. On the other hand, more emphasis is placed on environmentally friendly, healthy alternatives. Rainforest deforestation is banned and a sustainable alternative for wood is found. All in all, we respect nature more.

Es kann nur besser werden...
I urgently wish for a peaceful Europe, not only free of "special operations" at the borders, but also of terror within the borders. I would also like to see good living conditions, clean air, safe strolling through the cities, which would mean a massive reduction in individual, motorized traffic. Cruelty towards animals will hopefully be a thing of the past, so people will live mainly vegan, which will also help the climate. I am not as negative about its development as the mainstream (I prefer mild winters). I also very much hope that Europe has not succumbed to Islam and that the totalitarian nature of this ideology is recognized and combated in the meantime. Technological developments and inventions will make life easier in many areas over the next 15 years. I very much hope that the EU will not regulate everything to death, but will provide opportunities for new developments. I look forward to the beautiful and pleasant things that are to be expected!

Un monde idéal après des années catastrophique sous tous les plans
What a joy to have returned to a world where there is no more insecurity, no more aggression, no more war or terrorism. Everything can be recycled, and we've found a definitive solution to global warming. Full employment has returned, and there's work for everyone, thanks to the decision to apply selective and measured immigration. The justice system is uncompromising, and no one wants to repeat a crime because the penalties are so exemplary.

L utopique age d or
People no longer eat animals, forests are protected, there is only one god, the universe. Cancer is eradicated. Weapons are banned. Nuclear bombs are defused all over the planet, hundreds of millions of trees are replanted, the conquest of space is the top priority. Esperanto is the universal language, and live and let live has become everyone's motto. Last but not least, the human population does not exceed ten billion.
