You can promise me a future.

Dear educators, I have been thinking.
I don't think we should be trained into money making and obeying people

Instead
I think I should make homes for the insects I see hiding in the bushes
I think I should make a warm bath for my guardian
I think I should not be as afraid of dancing with the one I love
I think I should dare to pick a berry from a bush and eat it.

Let me not forget about the ruthless beauty of our existence
Teach me how to love it
How to survive

Curriculum creator, let us utilize our classrooms in the most healthy way possible
to let us slowly breath in and breathe out into a new, sustainable, generation
where both mine and Sarah’s, and Noa’s, and Mischa and Mohammed’s and Aisha’s belly can be full
So that we can play
And progress.
Exist

Curriculum creator, let us merge all documented knowledge to meet our basic needs in the most effective way possible
let me tell you what I need
and then maybe we could create a space within which we can survive
and thrive.

Let me care
And then perhaps
You can promise me a future.

this is a poem i have made about a potential future

In the future of 2040, I would like to see most of the diseases that humanity suffers from disappear. If an individual becomes infected with something, they will be able to cure themselves at home. More work will be done by machines and artificial intelligence, and people will have more time to meet and spend time together. They will be able to invest the spare time they have in conservation, growing flowers, planting new forests. Children are taught more social skills in school or practical things like how to take care of nature. They learn to grow crops, plants and enjoy seeing everything bloom and grow. They are no longer interested in telephones and television, but like to take care of nature.

Mars
We will live on another planet, probably Mars, it will be like Earth but much better there will be trees and houses for everyone and everyone will have everything it will be a perfect world. Because on earth it will not be possible to live anymore because of climate change and water shortage, so there will be no other option. And of course there will be flying cars and robots everywhere

This future is Interesting in that the sons will be slowly finishing their high school years and one will try to help them to enter the job market or to develop their skills further in higher education and I fully support them in this.

Utopie
The year is 2040 and Elon Musk has done what he has been trying to do for years, he has integrated a chip into the brain that can play back any information or skill into consciousness through a computer. With the increased intelligence of the population, social differences disappear and crime is reduced to a minimum.
