Think upside down

I see a lot of opportunities for the future. When we think upside down, we can solve more issues than we think. When we work with new and bright ideas and innovations and address issues differently a lot of things can happen.
Ecoducts for humans instead of animals. Airplanes that suck electricity from the sky. People are not allowed to kill animals, only the weak once, like how it works in nature. Abandon plastic, and work with alternatives. Reward people instead of punishing them. Send love, also to insects.

Ateities Vilnius
2040, 10 September. Europe has become the most advanced climate neutrality region in the world. Cities have completely abandoned fossil fuels, and each building has its own energy production system based on solar, wind and kinetic energy.
Evelina, now an experienced scientist, works in a global climate innovation lab that develops AI-powered air purification mechanisms. The streets are green, overflowing with vertical gardens, and the vehicles - without any pollution. Waste of water and food has become a thing of the past, as bioengineering has developed the most effective processing methods.
Society has also changed - the working week has been reduced to four days, as robotisation and AI have allowed people more time for creativity and personal development. The education system has introduced holistic teaching, where everyone can learn at their own pace, and virtual universities connect people from all over the world.
Evelina looks at the centre of Vilnius, where people communicate in the squares, musicians play, and technology serves not as a separation, but as a tool of unity. "This is what the future should have been like," she thinks, as she watches the sun set over the green horizons of the city.
In 2040, society could have reached common sense. With AI, excessive government spending has been cut and bureaucracy reduced and processes accelerated. Governments are more transparent and corruption is reduced. Less power for public authorities and more say for citizens. No more excessive taxes and restrictions on people's rights. There are no climate taxes or quotas to fill. Because the technology is sufficiently advanced, the wars are over. People have cooperation as a goal, not to be better and stronger than others. The emphasis is on the family model, which is advocated and supported by the state. Children's education is more about children's skills and interests, not about general level and that everything is the same as in the Soviet era. In the catering sector, the aim is to provide healthy food, not to chase profits. All decisions are made from the point of view of whether or not it makes a person's life healthier and more fulfilling. The focus is not on things, but on experiences, relationships and health. Not imposing the mixing of peoples on countries and letting countries and peoples be what they are and preserve their culture. The first humans have already been to Mars and humanity is interested in exploring and discovering space.
People are living in smaller worlds again. Are self-sufficient and less dependent big corporations and world powers. People are concerned with their own world and are content and happy here. Are not concerned with others. The world runs entirely on renewable energy sources. The threat of war and discontent is gone.
