In 2040 I will be 70 years old I will have a career behind me I hope to be healthy and have an adequate pension , that's what everyone hopes humanity is facing a huge change, there is artificial intelligence nature is not doing well and there is also the shadow of a major war in the air. There is great fear for the future, by 2040 the glaciers will have melted massively and many areas will be submerged, I remember my trip to the Maldives and I am sorry that the place where I used to holiday no longer exists. Humans have become stupid, I think about how things that used to be so simple cause so much headache for people today, home cooking is impossible to do without AI instructions, no food is real anymore, Christmas ham has turned into a soy cricket tofu mix manipulated by the ham flavour sex gene, thankfully I can remember how it used to be and I feel sorry for my children's children when they don't experience the same. My picture of the future is bleak because human memory is short and does not learn from its mistakes everyone knows what to do but the world has been taken over by a new religion and its holy trinity is power, markets and money.

In the year 2040, humanity has come a long way in the history of mankind.People all over have rebelled against authoritarian regimes, changed the world system by their protests against constant wars.Guns have been laid down and peace has reigned over the entire earth. The use of conventional money ceased and poverty disappeared.Insucgnu people had just enough of everything, neither too much nor too little, to live a peaceful comfortable life

My best future would be an environment where everyone is better off, from an environmental, health and economic standpoint, not so much from a social standpoint, understood as socialist, but from the standpoint of physical, mental and environmental well-being, where there are still differences, but everyone lives in peace with everyone.

Europe! Hopefully, there will always be a Europe where you get to know each other, a place where you can live in peace and freedom, where you can travel freely from one country to another. Even if we speak different languages, even if we have different cultures, for many hundreds of years, we will still and always, stand together and respect each other, we will still help around the world.
