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.

Miers un labklājība
In 2040 I will be 85 years old, I want to achieve this figure with full health and full intelligence, I don't want to be dependent on children. I want the war in Ukraine to end and Russia to stop attacking other countries and nations, peace around the world. I want to travel to France, Italy and other European countries, but it also needs funds and health. I want our Latvian government to start thinking practically and develop the economy of the country, allow entrepreneurs to work and scientists to create new technologies, support teachers and children in schools, support the health system and ensure safety throughout the country and help ensure safety in Europe.

The world has gathered around peace and improvement for all. AI has helped us find solutions to reduce environmental degradation and climate change. Trump, Putin and all other power-hungry men are set aside for the benefit of smart women with humanity in focus.

Otra Europa
To live in a united Europe where fundamentalisms and extremes are put aside. Where a plurality of people from various ethnicities are welcomed and unified in the same European culture. An agnostic Europe that has rid itself of useless religions and beliefs that have only hindered civilization throughout history. Where we are all equal, but our own individuality is recognized. A place to live without worrying about working since AI has allowed us to eliminate the need to have a job to be able to dedicate ourselves to the people we want and have time to live, not be slaves of companies or multinationals. A Europe where birth control is scrupulously controlled to avoid depleting the planet's resources. Less to live longer and better. Where nuclear energy is used as the main source of energy since other alternatives will not be enough. A Europe with autonomous cars and free transport. And above all a Europe without politicians where people exercise participatory democracy and where money is of no use. Utopia can be pursued but I don't think it will catch up with us before we do what is necessary not to destroy ourselves and charge the planet. We will have to sacrifice the worldview as we know it and reach a new standard of society. The world and Europe can be better but we have to stop acting separately and look at our belly buttons.

Europa wolna od zła
It would be a future in which all far-right parties with intolerant views, excluding all kinds of minorities, would disappear from the political arena. In Poland, you can finally get married regardless of gender. Cities are green, renewable energy has reduced smog. You can not enter the city center by car, there are bicycle paths everywhere. Cities offer a lot of communal housing. Plastic bottles have disappeared from the shops, vegetables are not wrapped in foil. The European Union has taken care of the fight against online disinformation, the hate on social media is severely punished.
