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.

Einigkeit macht stark
The Ukraine war and Trump's government have shaken the Europeans awake. Peace was imposed on Ukraine, Nato membership was prevented by the USA and admission to the EC was completed. The EC founded a joint army and stationed part of it in Ukraine. The bureaucracy was radically simplified, applications must be completed within 6 months at the latest. Great Britain is back in the EC. Decisions by the Council of Europe require 60 percent approval. The blockade attitude of individual states no longer exists.

Es wäre schön
It would be nice if viruses such as HIV and annoying pestilences such as cancer were considered eradicated in 2040. It would be nice if it were possible to determine at birth whether a child is likely to have serious illnesses that can then be eradicated immediately. It would be nice if inflation could be reduced to a minimum. It would be nice if religions no longer played a role. Because there are wars because of religion. Wars that can be prevented.

Future : retour vers le passé
In fact, I think the future is horrible; I'd like to go back to the real values of the 1970s and 1980s; I'd like a world without war, without violence, where people appreciate each other; I'd like to go back to a less technological world, while keeping the good sides of this technology, the useful side, but without scam, spam, with real encounters, not virtual ones.I'd like to rediscover love between humans, not this dehumanization where machines replace human contact.

Tout va bien dans le meilleur des mondes
For me, the future would be a world without war, with everyone getting on well, everyone getting enough to eat, no more fatal diseases in the foreseeable future thanks to advances in medicine, artificial intelligence and so on, tightly controlled immigration and the lifelong sheltering of all these criminals.
