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

en drøm... der aldrig kommer til at ske!
a world no longer dominated by insane ideas and ideologies, where greed does not block progress! a world where we are no longer too afraid to sanction hostile nations... where horrific actions are not ignored because those who practice them have a book there that they must. a world where one does not just send one's problems and responsibilities to another "poor" country, where there is real cooperation to solve problems instead of being only interested in one's own. a world where you are part of a global community and not just a local one. a world where humanity and well-being are a focal point. a world where human rights include food, water, education, freedom, security and a lot of other things.

The real better world
I would like to see more sustainable way of living, industrial processes using green chemistry and renewable energy, sustainable food production and more even distribution accross the globe. Overall, the Sustainable Development Goals coming to reality. We need to have the CO2 cut substantially or totally neutralized by then. The way we explore raw resources should also have a major shift, always trying to remediate or regenerate natural areas and intensively applying the Reduce, Reuse and Recycle principles. Only that way, we can secure our future, because we not outside of the environment, we are literally part of it, so our impact should be as minimal as possible.

History between 2025 and 2050 Between 2025 and 2050, the world underwent many changes. Technology continued to advance at a rapid pace, and new innovations were developed in all fields. Artificial intelligence, virtual reality and nanotechnology became mainstream technologies. The world has also become more sustainable. Renewable energies have replaced fossil fuels, and electric vehicles have replaced gasoline-powered ones. Cities have been designed to be greener and more walkable. Society has become more egalitarian. Women and minorities have gained more rights and opportunities. Poverty has been reduced and education made more accessible to all. Important aspects of life to change I would like the world to be a more peaceful and tolerant place. I'd like people to be more respectful of each other and to work together to solve the world's problems. I'd also like the environment to be better protected. I'd like us to use fewer natural resources and find more sustainable ways of producing energy and food. Finally, I'd like people to be happier and more fulfilled. I'd like us to have more time for our families and friends, and to find ways to fulfill ourselves personally and professionally.
