Yhtenäisempi Eurooppa

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

The war in Ukraine awakened the European state to understand the importance of unity and the speed and fluidity of decision-making. The Member States of the European Union stopped concentrating on obtaining benefits only for their own countries and began to devote their energies to the development of the well-being of Europe as a whole. After Russia lost the war in Ukraine, Russia had to compensate Ukraine for the damage it had caused, and one of the conditions was also to change the governance model from a dictatorship to a democracy. With the change of power, our own citizens began to demand a different policy based on cooperation with the European Union. The process proved to be slow, but with the gradual departure of Soviet leaders, significant progress has already been made by 2040. Advances in renewable energy technologies have made Europe not only completely free of fossil energy, but also self-sufficient. Artificial intelligence has been harnessed for several positive projects, including automatic speech interpretation, where a small microchip allows a person to hear the speech of a person speaking a foreign language in real time in his or her own language and he or she can respond in his or her own language, as the interlocutor also immediately receives interpretation into his or her own language. This technology has helped the immigrant population to integrate into society and find employment.

Den bättre världen
All wars are over. The whole world is united in peace. Neither the EU nor NATO exist anymore. All countries work together. We have no military left and weapons have stopped being made. Unemployment no longer exists. Everyone has a job. And those who work can work a maximum of 4 hours a day and earn as much as 8-hour jobs. Everyone also earns the same amount regardless of what you do. Equal pay for everyone. All food prices are at half price levels compared to today so everyone has the right to manage to get food for the day.

Esseri umani prima di tutto
People will work to live and not live to work. Work weeks will be a maximum of five days. Cities will stop being productive machines, and will become the space in which a cohesive society can be expressed. Social cohesion will again allow children to grow up together with their peers, in safe and available places throughout the territory. Neighborhoods will allow soft mobility and there will be a return to having at most one car per household. Secular third places will once again exist for teens and adults, who will not necessarily have to spend money to have reception.

"A Sustainable, Connected, and Thriving Europe"
In 2040, I imagine a Europe that has fully embraced sustainability, innovation, and community-driven progress. Climate change is no longer an existential threat but a challenge we have successfully tackled through renewable energy, circular economies, and nature-conscious urban development. Transportation is powered entirely by clean energy—public transit is seamless, fast, and accessible, reducing the need for private cars. Cities are green, with vertical forests, smart energy-efficient buildings, and abundant public spaces for people to connect. Rural areas are thriving, thanks to advanced digital infrastructure that allows remote work, telemedicine, and sustainable agriculture. Education has evolved beyond traditional models, incorporating personalized learning, real-world problem-solving, and emotional intelligence training. AI and technology serve as tools for empowerment rather than replacement, supporting individuals in their creativity, critical thinking, and well-being. Most importantly, communities are stronger than ever. Technology connects people rather than isolates them, fostering local engagement and global collaboration. Policies prioritize well-being over economic growth alone, ensuring a fair and inclusive society where no one is left behind. This is the Europe I hope for—one where sustainability, innovation, and human connection shape a thriving and balanced future for all.

Nov sistem za novo in boljše skupno življenje
Humans are animal beings, striving to survive. We want the best for ourselves, but we are bound by socio-demographics. We want to help each other but are constrained by the current political-economic system. In the future, I would like us to be able to transcend the system we are caught up in and to free ourselves from the animal instinct that makes us egocentric. I want and hope that we can realistically care for the well-being of the environment in which we live, that we can help each other, that we can use our knowledge and technology to improve our health and to benefit each other in every way.
