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.

I would have liked to get humanity back and let go of the fact that it's "we" and "them." There are pacts in the world between countries and people between countries are prejudiced against each other. We must be able to accept each other's cultures and at the same time be able to take the custom where one comes from. We must work together for peace on earth and make common progress to improve the environment, and this must take precedence over any other policy. If we don't learn to understand how to keep control of AI, humans will wipe themselves out. I'm afraid that man is too naive to understand this and that money and making sure to be first with the latest comes first.

Una Europa de ensueño
I dream of a cooperative Europe, in which countries fight for the well-being of their citizens, who invest in education, health, research ... but also do so as a united, strong and safe continent. Politicians would really work for their country and not for personal gain, they would be used thoroughly to ensure that progress is not at odds with a healthy environment, justice would be agile and effective. I would love a Europe without fears of terrorist attacks, rapes, aggressions. A Europe where women can go anywhere without fear of abuse. Where nature is protected and crops are respectful of the land, without depleting it.

There shouldn't be. All countries are their country, no one can take over, buy or anything else. We all live in our own country, no refugees around. You can move to other countries, but then you conform to the rules and laws the country has. You can't come and want to do it all over again.

The future is kind
I would like the future to be fuelled by kindness. I want to see kids being nice to each other, having learnt this from their parents and adults around them. I want to see more community and shared spaces, but this can only happen if we have shared goals rather than focusing on individuality. I believe some societal problems would be solved by kindness.
