Tranquillity

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I survived. After WW3 few have left living as civilization tries to rebuild itself. I work as a butcher and an hunter for our community. I have regular nightmares about how it all started. It started good, europe held against the invaders. As time passed dissidents in the form of immigrants started revolting, changing and sabotazing europe from within. The point of no return happened and nucleard weapons were used. That turned to be devastating to us and the enemy. Most things were destroyed. Now we somehow manage to come by. I live a more happy life than before. No wage slavery, no politics, nothing really just survival. It is peace. It is calm.

THE TECHNOLOGY DILEMMA
Who decides if we are hired? Who decides if we get a loan? The answer is simple, an algorithm. Many people still ignore this aspect, but the reality is that more and more algorithms make decisions for our lifetime. Of course, technology is fundamental in our lives, and I could not imagine a life without it; but its development without control could bring us many social and ethical issues. Firstly, an algorithm works from all the data that all the users from the media provide, and then, taking all this data, the system learns to pull out its conclusions. This process is known as machine learning. Imagine an algorithm that it's learning through social media, for instance, Twitter. The algorithm takes many tweets from different users and analyzes them, but what happens if one tweet is homophobic? The algorithm won't know that, and it will think that insulting gay people is right. This is just an example, but there are plenty of cases like this and even more complex ones. In 2040 I imagine a future where the development of technology is under control and whose progress is taking part at the same time that human evolution. A future where people of all knowledge branches (philosophers, engineers...) are working together to solve all the social dilemmas and to improve the citizen's quality of life through the right improvement of technology.

Urbanism for people
A city without cars. A city where pedestrians are the center of the urbanism. A city where I can stay without breathing polluted air. Or, at least, if this is not possible, a more walkable cities. Nowadays, cars not only pollute a lot, but also occupied much space. A space that we can enjoy, for walking, for sports, for talking, etc. Banning cars in the cities and encourage a real connected public transport is how I imagine my future city.

Equal rights is the right way!
I imagine a future in which all Europeans are able to enjoy their rights equally. From women access to labour, to city-accesibility for people with disabilities, every aspect of society needs to keep developing towards a more equal Europe.

You are not just about your race, language, religion or gender. And I care about what makes you you!
The future will be brighter than the past. No misogyny! No racism! No any sort of class distinction! Only brains will race in an equal place. Only distinction will be in ideas; to good to better. Globalizing world will separate ethnic origins, religions and languages from what makes us: our ideas! Remember, all the problems and solutions begin and end in human being. Lets start to solve problems with the head of the all of them
