You can promise me a future.

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

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

Die digitale und Autome Zukunft
The wars of 2022-2025 have fortunately come to an end and the economic stability of all countries affected has increased again. We are feeling the effects of digitalization and artificial intelligence everywhere. Proper medical treatment is only available in urgent cases, everything else is carried out via webcam, food deliveries are no longer delivered by people but by drones. A cab ride is autonomous without a driver. Everything is paid for with a digital currency - there is very little cash left, as cash deposits and withdrawals incur a very high fee at the bank.

How i imagine it
In my future i see women having more rights, i see abortion being legal in all countries in EU. I see there’s no descrimination regarding genders. I see more women on high positions on jobs, i se equality of both genders. I wosh for there to be peace and no (or less) war. I also see people going to school, every child have a chance to go to school and get the education they want, i see more opportunities for young (and old) people to go to college and other higher schools.

Zukunftshorror
It's very difficult for me. I'm 65 now, then 80, and I'll probably have to live in a home because of my disability. I'll be looked after, fed, washed and played with by robots. My children will live in other cities and visit me in self-driving cars. We will mainly eat a meatless diet of insects, worms, larvae, etc. There will be small nuclear reactors everywhere. Houses will be built underground because of the heat or cold. There will still be wars because of raw materials

Življenje leta 2000.
I want us to live in peace, no wars. I want children to grow up without tick-tocks and other social networks. I want those responsible for the current situation regarding finances and everything bad in Slovenia to finally be fairly held to account by the competent authorities. I want every family to have a fresh piece of bread on the table every day, and not for some to live day in, day out, despite working 12 hours a day.
