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.

Nameti države
Bolja budućnost za mene nisi financijsku neovisnost. Privatni posao, odgovaram za svoje uspjehe i greške, ne podliježem autoritetu, brinem za svoju obitelj i opskrbljujem ju sa svim potrebnim stvarima. Kako bi to sve bilo izvedivo treba premostiti sve poreze,prireze i ostale namete koje država stavlja na teret malim poduzetnicima,a to je isključivo na njima da smanje. Njihovi nameti su svakim danom sve nedostižniji i sve veći.

Zmiany w przyszłości.
I can't imagine what will happen in a dozen or so years and whether I will live to see them at all. I am sure that artificial intelligence will dominate, I am afraid that people will be left without a job. The next thing is cars - there are more and more of them, there is no place to park, there are traffic jams, you can't get there on time. I probably imagine roads above or around the blocks - somewhere I saw a similar photo, where something similar already works.

Sollievo, tranquillità, vita.
In 2040 I will be 78 years old, I think I will appreciate a quiet reality.I would like the city to be full of green areas, with many trees, no cars, but many quiet, small but safe means of transport. I do not have many other desires, I would like my body to age without pain as well as my mind.

Energy is based on renewable sources and nuclear energy. Transportation is mainly electric. Hydrogen batteries are in common use. Coroby is treated based on the genome. Reproduction is reduced and the population is reduced by at least 1/3. Vegetation absorbs CO2 and is climate control.
