Selbstverständnis statt Wunschdenken

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I want an open, humane Europe.

It should again be more about the people and not just talk loudly about economic crises and political misconduct. People should stand together and be cosmopolitan and helpful. No one should be afraid of political decisions. Everyone should pull together. Those who make the policy should be honest. In Dtl, for example, the reintroduction of the property tax could flush a large batch of money into the coffers. Those who already have a lot of assets should pay this tax, the money could be used to rehabilitate schools.

The climate problem should be made understandable for everyone and all possibilities should be discussed openly here as well. It is our nature of the world that we need to live. The trees clean our air - don't let it grow fast. They also cool our earth and provide shade. We should not continue to destroy nature, but also give it something back.

We should move away from fossil fuels, because once they are exhausted, important time for research on renewable energies is lost. Perhaps by 2040 we are already completely away from non-renewable energies. My hope is small, because there are only 15 years left.

I hope that all children have the same opportunities, no matter what social class they come from. They are our future and have a right to live in a healthy world.

Demain, peut être
in the near or more or less distant future. I'll no longer be part of this world, so I can only imagine what my children's future will be like. Their respiratory systems will have deteriorated, and they'll have to breathe through filters. No doubt the war will have passed, and the population will have declined sharply. The box system will still exist, if people don't get moving; they'll just execute and obey. They'll probably watch films, reflecting trees and nature. Women will no longer bear children. Everything will take place in laboratories. Progress will be driven by artificial intelligence, with its good points and especially its bad, not because of AI, but because of men who see only profit. I've known horse-drawn carts, steam trains, rockets, computers, cell phones and color TV. But where is simple happiness?

Zukunft
I would like to see a Europe without wars and despots. And less garbage and dirt on the streets. If there are no more wars anywhere, everyone can stay in their own country (except for vacation purposes) Weapons (including knives) should be banned. It should be possible to treat illnesses in clinics - including cancer. Affordable housing for all. Inflation would be abolished

La société en 2040
Society in 2040 is more tolerant, with individuals less individualistic, but with a real awareness of the importance of "forming society", of being a community of solidarity, responsible for its future and its environment. Man has realized that he can be the key to his own salvation. Individuals are now more involved on a daily basis in helping others, preserving the environment and sharing wealth. Individual aspirations have given way to a collective, voluntary dynamic. Everyone is involved at his or her own pace, providing help, a gesture or time for an environmental or social cause. The economy is no longer based solely on personal enrichment, but values work and investment.

Nouveaux modes de préservation de l'espèce humaine
In the 2040s, advances in medicine enabled AI to create cocoons where patients could receive treatment and get their bodies back in tip-top shape. Market gardening and animal husbandry were revamped to provide the population with as much healthy food as possible. The development of renewable energies reduced pollution. A worldwide policy of birth control has been introduced.
