Über den Dächern und Wäldern ist die Freiheit grenzenlos

Distances are melting away and I can be anywhere in the world without any effort. If I feel like spending the long weekend in Hawaii on Waikiki Beach, it will be possible without a long flight. Traffic jams in big cities are a thing of the past, as there are air cabs and robotaxis. For some very wealthy people, a flight on Jeff Beso's or Elon Musk's spaceship will be attractive. There will already be the first scientists and researchers on other planets, together with courageous settlers. Cancer will have been cured by then, as will many other previously incurable diseases. However, there are new, incalculable dangers. New strains of bacteria and viruses threaten humanity. Destruction through war is also much more likely by then if they fall into the wrong hands. That is why it is so important to make sure now that a dictator does not take over everything and oppress other countries. There must be some kind of world police force, such as NATO or the UN, which must ensure that peace is maintained. In the future, nature will flourish anew through new technologies and environmentally friendly production and will also bring back lost species in the animal and plant kingdoms.

Grandir dans le respect et la liberté
National education would have completely disappeared, to be replaced by a system of "free" childcare, where children would have access to tools (books, etc.) as well as workshops, places and materials, for tinkering, cooking, etc., and where they could carry out the projects that interest them, relying on the adult resources around them to teach them how to manage and gain self-confidence. I'm thinking of Summerhill-type schools or democratic schools where everyone can be welcomed without financial considerations. I think that today's schools are dragging young people down by not respecting their deepest aspirations, and I'd like children in 2040 to really be at the heart of their education, and no longer cohorts into which academic knowledge is injected. I want this respectful education to be open to all.

Bitte glaubt an unsere Jugend
We recognized and fought a climate crisis...and we lost. We realized too late that our "lifestyle" will cost many generations their heads. We still fought wars because we thought borders, religions, money or power were worth measuring in blood. We have marginalized people based on faith, skin color, sexuality or simple free spirit. We thought WE defined normal, determined the norm. But we have created generations that want to and will put an end to this. We have conjured up a battle and left the battlefield to our children and grandchildren. Now let them! Don't spoil it for them! We have already failed, now let them clean up the battlefield as THEY want. Support them and don't block them. You have been wrong for years, don't think that YOU now suddenly know the solution to the problem; you were the problem and now let the youth "attack" the problem too. Believe them, your narrow-mindedness must not cost so many people their future again. Much more: help them, help them with what you still have. Don't deny them the wish for change... you had these wishes too. And you know what it feels like to lose dreams and hope.

Demokrati i/og udvikling
In 2040 I am retired, but due to a flexible labor market I still have some working hours, especially online. The help I and other retirees need (at home) is customized to the individual due to the use of AI. The content of education has also become more individualized - while children and young people are also learning how to behave socially. Private motoring has been largely eliminated; a number of vehicles are available; they come and pick you up themselves. This saves on car and parking costs. An annual health check (voluntary) helps catch many diseases in their early stages, improving quality of life and reducing hospital costs.

Glück und Zufriedenheit
In 2040, the world has continued to grow together. Wars and exploitation are a thing of the past. Many diseases that were previously considered incurable can be cured. Faith in God has grown and people live together and for each other. AI takes over monotonous tasks and can make decisions. I like living in this time. The environment has recovered and climate change has been halted.
