I hope for a future where all kinds of people can be embraced. Growing up Black in a majority white community, I had to justify my existence from a very young age. A harmless question like "Where are you from?" confused me. I would answer by confidently naming this country I had visited for three weeks when I was three years old. And that was before I felt the stereotypes affect me. I was shy, quiet intelligent young boy. Nothing about this was unusually to me until my adolescence. Apparently I was supposed to be a loud obnoxious troublemaker. And the most confounding of all, was those who saw people like me as dumb. I've gone off on a bit off a tangent, however there is no way to predict the future without discussing the past. I hope the kids of 2040 are embraced for their differences. I hope they can live their lives exactly as they want. I hope society rethinks its desire for us to only be one thing. To only present in one way.

Älter werden im Dorf

I have grown older. Together with my partner, I fulfilled my dream of building another house - after all, there was still room in the garden of the old house! It's not any smaller than the old house, but the layout is better. We have moved into the upper apartment - the office in the basement is no longer needed since we retired from work. It now serves as an apartment when children and grandchildren come to visit. Our neighborhood is constantly changing. Separations and deaths bring change. The houses don't stay empty for long. It is very popular to live in the village. People still look out for each other here and living together works. There are lots of activities for young and old, and most people are keen to get involved in voluntary work. All in all, it's a good place to grow older.

retour à la souveraineté des Etats

that the European Union's powers be reduced in favor of the national states that make it up; that Europe (particularly France) become once again a confederation of states in which the member states cooperate but retain their full sovereignty; that the Commission disappear and that the governance of the EU take the form of regular meetings of the Prime Ministers of the member states + possibly a few Ministers concerned by the subjects under discussion. That the so-called "European Justice" disappears, and that the law applicable in member states depends solely on national parliaments, to the exclusion of any intervention by supranational bodies.

Make sense of it all.

I would like to see threats of global warming has been taken seriously and measures to halt its progression is in full force. I would also like to see either IQ tests or common sense tests for people, in charge of government. I also hope religion not to have such a strong hold over weak minds.

Politische Entwicklung

Ban on religions, as these are the main drivers of terrorist attacks and wars. AI should be developed with great caution to prevent a possible danger. German politics should be completely rethought, no more party coercion in the parliamentary groups and each party must vote on draft laws. The absence of party coercion means that every member of parliament can also vote in favor of a law of the other party, but also against bills of his party, so that no party would have to come to power alone or through a coalition and a freer democracy would be created.
