Maybe tomorrow ...

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

In 2040 the world that we all used to know is just a fading memory. The class system collapsed and everyone's needs are fully met no matter what. Work isn't mandatory for survival anymore. People have a lot of free time now to do what they always wanted and spend time with their loved ones. We have fully shifted to sustainable energy and are working on repairing the damage that has been done previously, fast fashion doesn't exist anymore and we are focusing on sustainability overall. Political participation is mandatory and people can vote from the comforter of their own home everywhere, this was we ensure true democracy and people are overall happier because the people in power are being put there by the majority. All drugs are legalized, that doesn't mean that people take them more it just ensures that people don't get to jail for the possession of it, also prison focuses on the rehabilitation and not further punishment of the convicts everywhere. Third world countries also arent a thing anymore because we share all resources and don't accumulate wealth anymore. Also, we are all vegan, this helped with the co2 problem and yearly saves unimaginable amounts of clean water.

What we have in Commons

Anonymous

Ideally that future would focus primarily on community. As we move towards the future, our interests in fostering community are getting smaller and smaller. Even though it might seem trivial, it seems to me that many issues we face today can be handled through building strong community links at local levels and then expanding outwards. Individualistic societies have not provided us with the tools to look at huge global problems -- like climate change, the refugee/migrant crisis, job precarity and many more-- and be able to tackle them. Once we start looking inwardly and then to those closest to us can we then start taking care of each other. Building local, sustainable and adaptable practices will lead to better understanding of global issues and instead of inhibiting our futures, we can nurture ourselves, our culture, our future. It's 2040 and you can rely on both yourself and you community to work together by participating equitably in creating a commons that does not operate under utopic ideals but rather faces challenges realistically, operates on a basis of accountability and supports its community members.

Belonging

Anonymous

I imagine that by 2040 everyone will feel free to be themselves without the fear of rejection or fear for their personal safety/security. Everyone will have a sense of belonging in the society and will not be excluded due to their ethnicity, sexual orientation or appearance.

Work-life balance at last

Anonymous

I imagine a future that is more relaxed in terms of work conditions and finding a balance with daily family necessities. Having more time with the family, going on trips, not needing to stress about financials.
