Yhteinen tulevaisuus

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I see a united Europe, a federation that decides by majority, binding decisions. Money is common. Europe produces most of its own food and agriculture is planned with the rest of the world so that, food is distributed, bought and sold to all according to need. Population has been reduced according to the carrying capacity of nature. There is no war in Europe and armament for war has ceased. The world has one common army , which controls the whole globe. Europe is part of it. Energy production relies on wind and solar power, built up all over the world from common resources. Nuclear power is one part of the energy palette. The state of nature has been improved and 30% of land and water is left alone, free from human interference. All activities are funded from one pot and the surplus is returned to this pot. Citizens have an income sufficient to live on (the citizen's wage) and all are equal, but also obliged to the work they choose. The profit margins of companies and individuals are kept to a minimum. Everyone has the right to vote and decisions are preceded by extensive public consultations.

Zukunftsmusik
In 2040, people have returned to their values and live more in community and togetherness than individualism. This starts in the closest circles, in families, and extends to social groups and institutions such as kindergartens and schools, universities and communities of interest throughout the population and does not stop at national borders. This issue is also being taken up in politics and international understanding and peace talks with a view to a future in which the next generation can still live well will be established. Natural resources will be used responsibly. New ideas will emerge on how to take appropriate account of nature. And how to use them well for humanity without exploiting them. There will be a shared vision for the future based on values and human rights.

positive Zukunft
I would like to see more attention paid to the issue of climate change. Global warming should be stopped and the country should only be supplied with renewable energy. I also have enough money and a secure livelihood. I can afford a good life and don't have to worry. There is peace all over the world and prices are stable.

La vie en 2040
With A.I., life will be completely different: it will no longer be necessary to go to the shops to do your shopping, and deliveries will surely be almost instantaneous once you've made your choice on an application. As far as healthcare is concerned, a field that is currently close to my heart, it may be possible to have an operation at home via a screen, and to be cared for by a robot. To get around and go on vacation, flying cars will be able to carry out this mission. To communicate with other ethnic groups, a chip could be implanted and the desired language used instantly.

Decay of the West
After the West had dominated the world for over 500 years, the tide turned abruptly in the 1920s. The once successful countries increasingly developed into care cases: incompetent politicians, declining growth, exploding national debt, increasing inequality, ageing populations, disintegrating social structures. Representative democracy has been hijacked by market players, the free market economy is now nothing more than a tool of capital, the rule of law is atrophying and civil society is being kept in a permanent state of crisis by constant media bombardment. The political decline is unmistakable. At the same time, Asia is developing into the new center of the world and the populations of the West look enviously at the achievements, but are incapable of adapting and developing further. Thank you Europe for nothing and goodbye!
