Especially recently, I feel that in many areas we are not going well. However, two seem to me to be the most critical points for change: (a) the large climate chapter, and (b) the gradual elimination of active citizenship, who is interested in their fellow citizens and the community to which they belong/are part of/live.
In 2040, therefore, we will ideally have achieved any change that can still occur in terms of climate change. The temperature will remain stable at current levels, the glaciers will continue to suffer, heat fires will have been reduced, etc. The ways we have achieved this achievement will be holistic and long-term, so that they will have an effect and duration (e.g. in Paris they are trying to unlock rivers and streams in order to bring down the temperature, while at the same time taking the public through the installation of air-conditioning units, which would raise the temperature of at least 2 degrees in the city). Of course, this approach is linked to the second strand of the described future, that of active citizenship. In order to achieve this, the people of the Earth will have changed mindsets, the sense of responsibility we all have towards the planet, not only in theory, but in substance, has been strengthened. The world will have mobilised, realising that changes are not taking place by writing 2 whistle-blower paragraphs on the internet that may inspire a proportion of the world, but so far, but need concrete actions, which are organised, cooperative, shared and mass. As active citizens, we will enjoy solidarity, conspiracy and mutual support for each other’s fellow citizens, building on and strengthening the concept of public space vis-à-vis the private one. Everyone’s altruism, feeling of inclusiveness and empathy will have increased.
Every action and every attempt to make a positive change is part of a chain, where each link is linked to the others and it is impossible to fundamentally change the situation if we do not act comprehensively and through all the parts that make up the living system.

Freiheit, Recht und Ordnung ohne belogen, betrogen und entmündigt zu werden
Writing is not one of my core competencies and so I ask for leniency in advance. A better future I would like to see would be: In Europe, each Member State is responsible for its own activities. There would be a free basic order that prohibits any form of surveillance and restriction of opinion. Prohibits manipulative press and fake news accordingly and checks journalism for truthfulness and regulates it accordingly in the event of violations. Ideological behavior no longer exists, as it is punished as fraud. Free market economy should be possible without obstructive regulations. By this I mean that only regulations that have been tested for their usefulness and cost-effectiveness are still possible and such excesses as we have experienced in the last 40 years are no longer possible. Taxes can only be collected and used for national tasks. Further funds must be raised either through donations or as part of a referendum. Waste of taxpayers' money will be punished and politicians will be held accountable for their violations. The EU can only monitor the requirements of the Community, but cannot develop its own rules. The surveillance mania of the authorities has been reduced to a normal level and the fundamental rights, similar to our Basic Law of 1970, are protected again. Crime is fought and enforced together across the EU. There may be a single tax law and the influence of industry, NGO ´s, super-rich and other interest groups on politicians is strictly prohibited. Politics only makes politics in the interest of its citizens and is liable for misconduct. Taxes and levies collected may only be used for specific purposes and all decisions are examined by independent people. The self-interest of incumbents has come to an end and the citizen is once again at the forefront of all political decisions. Education then starts already in kindergarten and the children no longer have to learn outdated garbage, but are trained to learn. With the aim of creating a better world free of ideology, they have also learned to question everything we are able to independently come to the right results. Manipulation is a crime that is taken very seriously. In the event of a crisis, people can be welcomed and cared for in our country. In case of violations of the guest right, these persons must leave our economic area immediately. Every radical belief is banned and all assets confiscated. Subcultures are no longer possible in the EU, as they are also anti-democratic. In 2040, the highest goods in our EU are: free opinion, freedom of travel, no poverty, inviolability of personal rights, chemical-free food, education at the highest level for everyone, free choice of profession, a real democracy. Unfortunately, there will continue to be crimes and for known criminals there will be a perfect surveillance that proves another crime immediately. We have more and more computers and machines that have replaced the human worker. For these devices, an assessment must then be made of how many workers are replaced by this device and minus the equipment costs, the salary for the workers is then transferred to the tax office as a tax. This can then be used to pay the unemployed and incapacitated, families and pensioners. Smoked goods, drugs and other toxins have not been used and sold for years. All this could be achieved through education and without prohibitions. I'd think of a thousand more points, but that's so unsorted and completely confused, so I'm ending it now.

A better future is ecological, full of health and without fear of getting sick. Land protection is at the heart of the progressive future it expects. A world without waste. But full of recycling, where nothing is worn and everything is used.

Tulevaisuus on parempi
The future will be better in every way. Education is available for more people, food is for those in need and its quality is better. 2040 has also brought emissions under control so that air quality in Europe is better and ecology is automatically taken into account in all activities. Particular attention is paid to the emissions load of industry and transport. Air travel will be reduced and rail, ship and bus traffic will be favoured. Human rights are also reaching more and more people in the world, and equality is also growing in terms of access to education. In general, the world is moving in a better direction from the present.
