- World peace, us combatting climate change together, resolve global [social, economical] injustice - Being able to do or work on what I want without it having to be about money and employment - Being content, most of the time. Constant happiness is utopian, but if I can just be content with what I have, what I do and what I experience, that would be great - Less mental fog and unfocusedness (not sure if that is an existing word) Overall I just wish that every human on earth gets the chance to feel good about themselves and where they are in life.

  +1 I was also curious when it comes up :) Glad it did explicitly, eventually :) (It would have been one of my first ones, too, but I first wanted to make sure to have more wishes :D)

  I am young, naive, idealistic and utopian. The perfect candidate to mention world peace. But I really mean it. My life is good, I have everything I need without being rich. Well, at least not rich in my country. Globally, I am probably rich. Where I live, that's called middle class. I don't own a house or an apartment and I don't know if I ever will, but I have a well-paying job which allows me to have an enjoyable life.

I love your picture of the future. What are you doing to get one step closer to it? How can others help you?

  Woah, good and tough question. Where I live I get to vote on a lot of things. I vote based on what I think is fair, not what brings me or my country the biggest benefit. In a way I try to be Anti-Nationalistic. Proud to be born and living where I am, but I don't let this cloud my judgement. I try to criticize every group I deem to be doing wrong things, without being a hater and without taking sides. Be it my country, neighboring countries, Russia, USA, China, groups I disagree or agree with. Military Service is mandatory where I live, but I made sure not to take part in it. Naturally I am a pacifist, or at least I try to be. Meaning that I am a pacifist, but I think its a privileged thing to be able to be a pacifist. Be respectful of others, discuss, educate yourself and others. I try to push and support people or organizations who uncover what I think goes wrong on our world. Tax aviodance/evasion on pacific islands, corruption, inside deals, power grabs, greenwashing, rainbowwashing, pinkwashing, CO2-Certificates bullshit, you name it. But if I want to be cynical - I don't really DO anything. All I do is talk and write about what I think. I don't really know how I can bring myself closer to my picture of the future - and that's whats fucking scary to me. Basically, I try to talk about my picture of the future when I get the chance, vote accordingly and try to behave like I would like others to. Be mindful, try to be sustainable, think ethical etc. I am in no way perfect, not at all. I am a first world-citizen. My PCs GPU consumes a lot of power, one of my hobbies is motorcycling, my apartment can be heated all year round. But I don't own a car, live vegetarian and almost vegan. Just trying to find a balance. Sorry for the incoherent rambling, I really don't know how to answer your question. If I could, I wouldn't need a genie to help me. But if you have tips or your own thoughts, feel free to share.

    Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! I think you are already doing a lot. And the things that you talk about need consistent action. So, as long as you keep your principles, you are an agent of change. Is there more that you can do? Of course. Is there less? Also! The question now becomes: where do you choose to draw the line? Also reached out to you via email.
