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.

we came close to disaster but escaped it. Maybe it took the scare to push us to do something. in the 15 years from 2025 to 2040 we realized that the future is not just an abstract idea that someone else will take care of. Sure, things are not perfect, but eventually an agreement was reached among nations to reduce the emissions that are harming the planet. A new consciousness has spread. On the streets, internal combustion cars are increasingly rare, replaced by electric motors or often even bicycles. Technology has moved on but it has also become simpler, with a taste for the essential that was not there in the past so overflowing with frills and driven consumerism. Studies show that global warming is coming under control. The damage has been there and new damage will still be there before the end, but work is being done and successes are being seen. Even in politics having come close to a new world war brought us closer together, first with suspicion, still fearful that this or that other nation was waiting for just the slightest opening for a new attack but then forging bonds. Only 15 years have passed, sure, the process is still in its infancy, but it is well under way. It is not a perfect world. But it is a better world that is improving

I'm very sceptical about the future of tomorrow's world, but without being totally pessimistic, I think that the human race will take the right decisions to enable us all to live together in harmony, albeit partial, but necessary. We absolutely must limit demographics, especially on the African and Asian continents.

Fossil fuels are no longer consumed, nor are there nuclear power plants. Climate change has been solved. Wars are over, there are no more dictators like Putin or Maduro, no more madmen at the head of any country like Trump, Milei, Orban or Bolsonaro. Immigration is no longer a problem, the population pyramid is already decreasing again as we get older, there are no problems to pay the pension of retirees.

Quantum computers combined with artificial intelligence are solving humanity's most pressing problems. People are more monitored, crime has fallen, but individual privacy is no longer sacrosanct. Everything is paid for with digital currency, and the carbon footprint of each individual or company is tracked. People are more or less happy, but many do not like it.
