Sustainable future

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I want to see a future where there is a more stable democratic geopolitical situation than today. The current situation in Europe and the world feels very volatile and much more unsafe than then I was younger and seems to be highly driven be extreme-right party political perspectives and people in power that tends to want a future that is more like the past - focusing on power of the past rather than technological progress and focusing on a future where we can live on our own planet. In 2040 I see Europe with a higher line of borders towards Russia and with a slowly healing relationship with the U.S. after large trust issue that has risen over many years from a U.S. goverment recovering from the current reshaping to past values. I see a European economy on a rise after years with an unstable situation. I also see much struggle and migration of people based on the increasing severity of climate changes that have only gotten worse over the past decades and a northern Europe struggling to get ready for the apparent future with colder weather due to the failing of the golf stream.

Utopia
Everyone is equal and everyone can live the life they want without negative interference. As long as that lifestyle does not hurt others. The number of cars on the streets has decreased considerably, while the number of green spaces has increased. Artificial intelligence is finally being directed in the direction it should be: to do everyday tasks so that people have more time to express themselves and enjoy life. Not like now, where AI does "art" and stuff to give people more time to do chores.

Vision of the world after World War III
In 2040, after the end of World War III, the world begins to rebuild. Unfortunately, we have irretrievably lost all of our human achievements, all of the technologies that were so important to us. You could say that we have to start from scratch again. Fortunately, in addition to the destroyed technology, there are many engineers left in the world who, I hope, will soon bring us to the point where we had to stop everything. There is something more important. People who survived this war are more united than ever. Origin, race or skin color have ceased to matter to us. With the fall of technology, terrorism and fascism have fallen. We are one nation in the world, on which now depends what our world will look like in the future.

Zusammenhalt der Gesellschaft dann könnte vieles gut gehen !
There should be much more cohesion, fairness and social justice in the future so that a reasonable life is guaranteed again. Of course, the environment, nature and climate must also be taken care of, I just hope that the whole of society is committed to this and not that by then there will again be such green madmen who want to determine alone what is to be done! I assume that I won't be able to witness how the situation has changed at this point in time, but we must not give up hope for improvement!

Sicherheit und Wohlbefinden
I would like so much that in the year 2040 you can feel safe on the street and at events again with joy and without fear of assaults, harassment and attacks. Simply to have a feeling of well-being and no more worry / fear because in our country only foreign citizens live who appreciate our culture and life ....
