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.

Mi futuro ideal
I would like us all to speak the same language in the future, there are no borders, no wars, no conflicts. May we live in peace and harmony, may no one go hungry, may there be no poverty. May technology help us in the day to day in the less pleasant tasks.

Světlá budoucnost
I can imagine that there will be great advances in medicine. There is a non-invasive cure for cancer, medicine is able to cure all disabled people with physical disabilities and visual impairments. Small chips will monitor our health and alert us when something goes wrong. At the same time, they will be able to provide treatment. Doctors will only deal with really urgent cases and those that advanced robotics and artificial intelligence cannot solve. There will be rocket development in this area, and AI will be a great help in diagnostics and treatment in the health field. Companies from all over the world will participate in its development. Everything in medicine will be much more advanced and effective. Wheelchairs will be able to walk again. Euthanasia is finally enacted in the Czech Republic, many people are waiting for it with hope. Even an animal has a right not to suffer when there is no hope of a cure, and hopefully in the future we will too. Eye transplants will be introduced so that even the blind can function normally in society and find regular work, because they do not get this opportunity.

There are no more fossil fuels used in the world. Pesticides have finally disappeared. AI is at the service of humans and facilitates the very early detection of diseases. Dictatorships have been banned as well as wars. Women have won equality with men.

Mental Health freedom
In 2040, I imagine a world where mental health is no longer a taboo subject, but rather an integral part of daily life. Over the past two decades, society has shifted from seeing mental health as a personal burden to recognizing it as a collective responsibility. Access to mental health care has become universal, and everyone—from children to the elderly—receives support as easily as they would for any physical ailment. Therapists, counselors, and mental health professionals are now embedded in schools, workplaces, and communities. Digital platforms have evolved into fully personalized care systems, offering real-time support with AI-driven tools that help people track their emotional well-being. There’s no more stigma attached to seeking help, and in fact, emotional wellness is seen as a key pillar of personal success, just as much as physical health. In this future, people of all backgrounds feel empowered to speak openly about their struggles, knowing that their mental health is valued and prioritized. The result is a more empathetic and resilient society, where people not only survive, but thrive emotionally. This world feels connected, supportive, and hopeful—no longer isolated by mental health challenges, but united in caring for each other’s minds as much as their bodies.
