The future of all (Prihodnost vseh)

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

In 2040, I would like to see some of the problems that have arisen as a result of humanity’s actions over the past 200 years be solved. This problem is mainly global warming and the destruction of the planet. In addition, I would like to see more people who feel connected to others in the future – only through cooperation and integration can we make further progress. The best example of this is technological progress, which is largely the result of cooperation and accumulation and knowledge transfer over thousands of years. I think that working together is secret to tackle the problem of global warming, since we will have to get closer together in the future if we want to solve this problem. The policy will have to be integrated, as it is already doing with international climate conferences, but more needs to be done to solve the problem. Systematic solutions in the form of laws and sanctions will be needed to guide society as a whole towards more environmentally friendly action. Society will have to behave somewhat less individually and more collectively, and I want a democratic system in the future that allows everyone to participate, express their opinions freely and see each individual as something specific and enable them to grow personally, which is later seen for the benefit of society. I can conclude that some of the guidelines for such action are already in place (environmental laws and sanctions), but that their execution and implementation are currently not at a level that solves the problem. In addition, solving environmental problems requires technological developments that would increase the possibilities for substitution of resources (which would make them more affordable) that contribute to the problem, and this progress can be achieved through scientific integration worldwide, which has proven to be effective in many places (including in the production of COVID-19 vaccines).

A peaceful world where everyone takes part in the collective success of France, where everyone can live comfortably and receives the merits of his efforts. A found justice or the deserving are those who provide the most commitment in society, and less taxed to maintain the laziness of those who participate in nothing.

In 2040, Russia broke up into smaller states and China became a democracy. Prior to this, Russia has been at war, which has led to increased readiness and small border thorns also near the Finnish border. The World War could be avoided. Europe has been able to lighten the regulation that suppresses innovation, and the benefits of the common market have brought new prosperity to the whole region. Space tourism is still a utopia, but we dream of it. Artificial intelligence has reduced the need for labour, just like computers or the internet used to. The pain in society is that the top performers do well, but the less capable have fewer and fewer job opportunities and become passive. However, for political reasons, basic income has not been reached and there is a lot of this in the newspapers. Immigration has decreased and demographic trends have stabilised. The famine in Africa raises concerns and climate change puts pressure on population movements. The threat of war in the South is obvious. In the midst of the threats, I feel that already towards the end of my career I am financially safe thanks to entrepreneurship and hard work, and my children are doing well in a changed world. The future does not seem unproblematic, but disasters have, as before, been avoided.

The streets will be brightly and there would be no feeling of being scared no fear not anything You’re perfect be perfect that’s it so I wish that European Union in 2040 will be very safe. this is my story goodbye.
