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 future of all (Prihodnost vseh)
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).

Sustainable future (Sustainable future)
By the year of 2040, I would like to see that the world transformed completely to using renewable power sources. I am looking forward to see all the great technologycal innovations, and to find out what can we do with it and will we use it for the well being of the Earth and ourselves. In that better future we will be able to make this Earth sustainable four our grandchildren and kids.

higher salaries, affordable living spaces
As I am sure everyone would relate, I would like not to worry about money all the time. Given that prices of living spaces have grown exponentially over the course of the last 10/20 years, I am afraid I will not be able to afford a house 20 years from now. Additionally, I would not like to work away my whole days and only work for paying off my house or apartment. I think that an 8 hour long shift is still too long and when you are finished with work you are so tired, your day can not be productive anymore. You still have so little time in a day, that you stretch it out by procrastinating and not sleeping, so consequentially it is harder to get up in the morning. Anyhow, the monthly salaries are still so low, a lot of people can barely get through the month. So, I would like to live in a world with higher salaries and more affordable living spaces.

A healthy future (Zdrava prihodnost)
In the future, I want nature to be healthier for the individual. In addition, I want society to have healthy working and living conditions. The health of the individual can be achieved in two ways. The first one depends on a healthy environment where there are no solid particles and healthy lives, because we know that the environment affects our activities and that many people die every year from obesity and polluted atmospheres. ‘Fast food’, which is cheap, also contributes to this, making it a common source of nutrition for the more poor. It is also difficult for the poor to afford healthy ingredients to make up a meal, as a healthy meal costs more. In 2040, I want healthy food to be made more accessible to people and I want the environment to be healthier for individuals. This would lead to a healthier and happier population, increasing the lifespan of people and reducing cardiovascular diseases.
