Zukunftsmusik

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

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.

Grön rättvisa
År 2040 har den gröna omställningen gått helt i rätt riktning. Man har byggt ut cykelvägar (med uppvärmning vintertid för säkrare cykling), de flesta kör miljöbilar och det är nästan pinsamt om man kör en diesel- eller bensindriven bil. Flickor i hela världen har äntligen fått börja skolan, kvinnor slipper vara rädda när de går ut på kvällarna och världen har blivit en mer kärleksfull och trygg plats. Våldtäktsmän straffas på rätt sätt, mobbare är de som får byta skola, kvinnor i våldsamma relationer slipper fly till skyddade boenden då männen som utsätter dom är de som får ta konsekvenserna.

Spet ljudje
After some radical upheavals, we are in a beautiful sunny spring. The seasons have changed, we are the last generation that still knows what it was like in the last millennium. But one gets used to everything, changes happen wherever the Earth stands and they have to be accepted. Finally it has happened, people have calmed down and focused on the joy of life, they have started to socialise and exchange. Previously fascinating advances in technology have become a necessary part of everyday life, but they have not succeeded in tearing people apart and throwing them into an otherwise voluntary isolation and self-centredness. Children chase each other around the meadows and help themselves to the fruit on the neighbour's pear tree, with their furry friends. Mothers know that children naturally develop into adults and responsible persons, having been deprived of this themselves. People have become tolerant, less egoistic and, as a result, happier. They have managed to turn technology and all changes in their favour, for the common good. Around us are smiling and sociable faces, aware of the role of their culture for future generations.

Alles gut?
I hope for the future that the world will be so pacified by then that there will be no more such wars as before. Until then, it should be a matter of course in the "developing countries" that people can adjust peacefully to coexistence and design their lives with the right technology in such a way that everyone receives a reasonable standard of living, i.e. the right educational opportunities, sufficient food, etc. These countries manage their raw materials themselves and are reliable trading partners for the "industrial countries". The technology is so advanced that solar power can be stored in sufficient quantities, so that "Dunkelflauten" can also be overcome over several days and in winter. Especially in the desert areas, the solar power harvest will be so good that all people on earth will have their livelihoods, so that it would not be necessary to invade other peoples in armed conflicts.

I imagine that we are all very busy freeing nature from all the concrete. We are happy because there is finally security and peace all over the world. The bad people are gone and we can enjoy the good air and nature in all its splendor. We will cook and eat together, nobody is envious of anyone else. Everyone is happy with what they have, because they have everything they need to live. The waters are no longer polluted and no one is cruel to animals or uses them as test subjects. We all have only one faith and only one God, to whom we are grateful for everything he gives us every day. We are getting healthier and fitter every day and we can travel the world without money and see and experience everything that we previously only knew from books or movies. We will be welcome everywhere and get along with everyone. There will be no more stress or entrepreneurs who want to get richer and richer. Because no money in the world can buy life.
