Worse for most, good for few

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

As world hasn't gotten into an agreement about changes regarding the climate change the world has gotten much warmer. Population has either started shrinking in areas that are no longer easily habitable or started moving towards better areas which are now getting crowded.
This of course affects health and wellbeing of the population.
Technology/science rushes forwards with the possibility to live off planet sooner rather than later it seems that the option is only for the most wealthy. It is true that technological breakthroughs could also make lives easier and better but at what cost? There are always those who'd profit which in turn makes benefiting from said progress expensive for everyone. Working definitely might change with automatic/remote controlled robots or such. But still the lower classes would'nt have that luxory.

Notes about the quiestionaire. The given/estimated 5 minutes is nowhere near enough time to collect thoughts/visions about possible future. Also there was no option to decline after clicking the link in email as there usually is.

Drosmes un sirsnības nākotne
Es vēlētos, lai nākotne Eiropā un Latvijā būtu droša un attīstoša. Es vēlētos, lai Eiropā un Rietumvalstīs būtu iznīdēts un absolūti nepieņemams imperiālisms, autoritārisms un totalitārisms. Šajā nākotnē Tramps, Masks un Putins ir plaši saprasti kā nicināmi un zemiski cilvēki. Absolūtais vairums cilvēku apzinās no kādas tumsas un briesmām ir sanācis izvairīties un ir pateicīgi izlēmībai, drosmei un empātijai, kas šo ir ļāvušas paveikt. Tāpat ir audzis patiess patriotisms un kopienas sajūta, kas vēsturiski manā valstī, īpaši lielākās pilsētās, ir bijis problemātisks padomju laikam raksturīgās gļēvulības, represiju un apolitiskuma dēļ. Beidzot ir izdevies ierobežot alkohola un azartspēļu lobiju. Es gribētu, lai šajā nākotnē tiek saprasts, ka uzlabot savu kopienu un vidi var tikai sniedzot kādu ieguldījumu vai upuri paši. Es gribu, lai cilvēki iegulda sevī, un viņu apkārtējie no tā saņem dividendes. Es ceru, ka sirsnība, radošums, cieņa, iejūtība un rūpes būs ne tikai epizodiski atzītas, bet fundamentāli svarīgas īpašības mūsu sabiedrībā. Es ceru, ka cilvēki sapratīs, ka palīdzot citiem viņi gūst ko tādu, ko citādi nav iespējams gut.

The future I see will be cleaner, less industrialized and more respectful of planet earth. Life won't have changed much, but I imagine more sharing, less war, more respect and living together. Supplements will play an important role, given the problem of altered and less nourishing foods. Polluting sports will no longer be very important, and snow tourism will have disappeared due to global warming. I think there will be more natural disasters too.

I would like to see a future where people can afford more, where rents are affordable and there is enough housing for everyone. I would like to see better healthcare for everyone and for people to live happily and peacefully together.

Silna demokratyczna Europa
Zjednoczona Europa rządzona przez demokratów, wyrugowanie populistów i faszystów oraz przyjaciół reżimowych przywódców. Pełna izolacja gospodarcza i polityczna Rosji. Siły zbrojne Europy znacznie przewyższające siłę armii rosyjskiej. Wspólne prawa wykluczające legalną działalność takich partii jak AFP w Niemczech, PiS w Polsce czy Le Pen we Francji.Wspólna europejska konstytucja zakazująca jakichkolwiek ruchów faszystowskich, dopuszczająca legalną aborcję i gwarantująca prawa mniejszości. Samowystarczalność gospodarcza i militarna Unii Europejskiej. Dbałość o środowisko naturalne i odwracanie skutków globalnego ocieplenia.
