Governments all across europe have withdrawn their presence from public life, while focussing on the core responsibilities that governments have: Housing, healthcare, education and defence.
The development of AI and crypto have reduced the dependency of citizens on institutions that were kept in place by big governments and corporations. As a result, a trend of decentralisation set in, decreasing the cultural and economic power of capital regions and increasing prosperity in rural regions. Thereby, the cultural identies became stronger.

the future is grandchildren
in 2040 I will be 72 and my children 32 and 31 - I hope I have grandchildren and that they live near. I hope my kids are settled workign and have decent places to live. air and watr are clean. i hope that the weather has settled and the enviroment stabalised - but I doudt it and I think my children will be facing more extreme weather. AI will impact their jobs but not to the extent the pessimists worry. I will be retired - but only just as I enjoy work, i will have a rich cultureal and social life and wont be worrying about caring for othes (those years are behind me). I might need to help my kids finaically just as my parents helped me - but they do ok.
