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.

When I was young I thought about the future to which the technological advances of our time would take us always towards an easier, more comfortable life. I saw that after the hardships in which my parents lived my generation did not lack anything, food, shelter, leisure. All our needs were covered and then, other needs appeared that became essential and that ended with the dreamed future to turn it into a future described in "1984" where the leading leadership oppresses the people by handling information, where we survive thanks to the aid of the government that fights against our maximum enemy that is inequality, the oppression of previous regimes, the extreme right, businessmen and any other that are invented to divert our attention from reality. Our leaders only think of improving their own lives, of keeping us oppressed and grateful for saving us from oppression. But, life is a wheel: ‘Difficult times create strong men, strong men create easy times, easy times create weak men, weak men create difficult times.’ I think we have completed another wheel, thanks to the struggle of a few, all the lies are being uncovered. Technocrats rule over ideologues again. Votes at the polls are now won with empirical realities and not with fears of the past or ideals of the future. Technological advances are again at the service of the population and our leaders are again walking among the people listening to their needs and trying to improve our future.

Um futuro brilhante
It would be a world where honesty prevails, without crime. We would all be helped by new technologies, we would not be a consumer society. We would care for the environment and protect the planet from man himself. Money would not be the most important good. People treated each other, we would not be governed by parties, but by adoocracy. There would be no weapons, no threats, and respect would prevail.

IT and member integration
Well working as both an artisit and in IT I would like to see Europe have a greater share of EU led social media and services and not so dependant on America and the influnce they have on my kids and others. I would like to see less borders and more acceptance across the bloc

je veux vivre en harmonie et sans craintes
Why Europe does not withdraw from AFRICA, by stopping: conflicts, murder, incitement to hatred and others? Why is Europe very hegemonic, cleavage-creating, humiliating in AFRICA? I FEEL INSECURABLE TO THE VIEWS OF EUROPEAN ACTIONS IN AFRICA. I want a simple, healthy, renewed, respectful, just, fair Europe in everything. Not racist.
