What we have in Commons

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

Ideally that future would focus primarily on community. As we move towards the future, our interests in fostering community are getting smaller and smaller. Even though it might seem trivial, it seems to me that many issues we face today can be handled through building strong community links at local levels and then expanding outwards. Individualistic societies have not provided us with the tools to look at huge global problems -- like climate change, the refugee/migrant crisis, job precarity and many more-- and be able to tackle them. Once we start looking inwardly and then to those closest to us can we then start taking care of each other. Building local, sustainable and adaptable practices will lead to better understanding of global issues and instead of inhibiting our futures, we can nurture ourselves, our culture, our future. It's 2040 and you can rely on both yourself and you community to work together by participating equitably in creating a commons that does not operate under utopic ideals but rather faces challenges realistically, operates on a basis of accountability and supports its community members.

Évolution de la médecine
Dans l’Europe du futur, la grande majorité des cancers pourra être traité par les médecins et les personnes malades auront une quasi certitude de vaincre la maladie et de survivre à celle-ci. La médecine aura grandement évolué, notamment en PMA ou les chances d’avoir un enfant auront grandement augmenté.

Commission mondiale pour la paix sur terre
2040, l'année où la race humaine a comprise que tout le monde est égal quelque soit sa race, son physique, son lieu de vie, son état de santé, ect.... Un nouveau style de gouvernement est né. Il s'agit de la "commission mondiale pour la paix sur terre". Instaurée en 2035 sous l'impulsion de la commission Européenne, elle exerce aujourd'hui un bien être qui rassure sur le futur bonheur sur terre. La contribution des personnes privilégiées est mieux répartie, il n'existe presque plus de multi milliardaires et les ressources de première nécessité sont bien mieux étalées et utilisées avec plus de sérénité et efficacité. La terre deviendrait-t-elle enfin la planète rêvée tant de fois par la majorité de ses habitants (tout le monde est gentil, tout le monde est content, tout le monde est généreux, ect...). Fini le temps des dictateurs, fini le temps des régimes totalitaires, fini la possibilité qu'une personne seule embrase toute une région ou un pays. Tout les systèmes de déplacements, tout le confort intérieur, toute l'écologie sont étudiés et réalisés par cette nouvelle Commission mondiale qui regroupe tous les continents et régule tous les styles de vie en tenant compte du climat local, des ressources locales, ect.....

Paradies
I will be out of the active working process in 2024. Then I would have time to travel the world if we humans had not turned the earth into a desert by then. Peace and the preservation of creation should be at the center of attention until then. To get to know travel and other cultures, in real and not controlled by AI. To have contact with other people, especially with one's own family in the next generations. Of course, fun and joy should not be missed in the future.

Life without fear
I wish of a future where healthcare and basic human needs are not questionable and are well taken care of. Healthcare, basic income, where knowledge is always available free of charge and available to the masses. Schools teaching relevant knowledge and not just something that is useless by the time they end school. Where work covers only a small portion of our lives and people have more time to pursue hobbies and other activities. Life where the lives of common people aren’t influenced by large corporations and under fear of war and scarcity on a weekly basis. Where taxation is fair for all and not there just to support the overall bad governance and excessive governance aparatus.
