Simple, but happy.

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

After almost two decades of wars, climate crisis, pandemic and economic crisis, there will be new arising of hope and togetherness. Society will be changed deeply: new forms of community, more co-living, transformed family structures, less urban agglomerates, back to a somewhat simpler but happier life. There will be more sharing of goods, spaces and "belongings" instead of consumerisms and individualism. There. will be a stronger connection, a re-connecting to core values and the sense to work and live not for economic growth, but emotional and spiritual growth. It will no longer be a narrative of "giving up" something but go "gaining" new things, when talking about how less is more... Changing the way how we live in communities impacts how we shape society on a political, ethical, societal level. Change comes from below.

It's 2040, after all the bad elections, the people have finally understood that they can't let the far right come to power. A united Europe has put pressure on Russia and the US, so that the people of these countries have stopped believing the populists and are electing democratic leaders. The European Union's army guards order, and more and more countries want to join the union to benefit from the protection its army provides. Wise management of resources has allowed the development of science, whose achievements allow mitigation of climate change and improved communications. The sanctions imposed on pharmaceutical companies are slowly changing the face of the companies, they are no longer profit-driven and the approach to the health of people and society is key.

Il n'y a plus de pauvres, tout le monde vit confortablement et mange à sa faim, le réchauffement climatique n'est plus qu'un mauvais souvenir, il n'y a plus de guerres ni de conflits. Toutes les diversités sont acceptées. Il n'y a plus d'inégalités

We are in the year 2045. after much turbulence, the governments of the nations have decided on peaceful cooperation based on the common good. financial resources are now used to build and maintain a modest and sustainable lifestyle that enables all people to live a dignified and meaningful life. military interventions to maintain power and control resources are a thing of the past. scientific research has developed systems of a regional circular economy that has recognized biodiversity as essential to life. ethics and integrity of character are the prerequisites for political office and are cultivated in interpersonal interactions. socially destructive technologies have been replaced by constructive methods that are conducive to human coexistence. life is valued more than profit. money serves as a means of payment for the real economy instead of a rampant capital market.
