OPENING AUTHORITY (ΚΑΙΝΟΥΡΓΙΑ ΑΡΧΗ)

The digital age that should mark people’s improved and more comfortable lives has shifted a balance of modern human beings. Any real feeling and experience is now considered obsolete and anything we are new to try, banal. Social networks determine our relationships, which either do not expand or do not evolve to a large extent in their absence. At the same time, society suffers from difficult economic problems. Corrupt governments of states could only bring the situation to the end of the barley. A barbour that can only be crossed with real values. But also. Ethical principles are missing from governments, civil servants, education, young people from all over the world. Every act is considered normal as long as it satisfies our egoism. And if this egoism leads to at least one subtle spiritual investigation or an attempt to rehabilitate the labour market, we are lucky. Because most of them imitate the prominence and dreams. Most try to win the beauty when it should not have a place in their lives. What beauty do we talk to? Each defines it differently. The issue is that what is now considered to be a “coul” is often the one that destroys the whole. But everything is good! The cigarettes in each recess are scattered, such as margarites on a mountain pasture, and the graffiti are fired in the urban galleries, making a spectacle... What beautiful our cities are! Car smoke does not disturb us. Forgotten bins do not tempt us. It is enough that our cities are not flooded by climate change. It is enough that COP27 did not discuss us at all, but about something bitter African farmers who cannot feed their children.

If at least half of these problems could be solved by 2040, I would be happy. But we will find the values to bridge the gap between modern realities and real life?

It's 2040, I've aged 15 years and medicine is moving forward incredibly thanks to AI and robotics and the development of new drugs. What was impossible to drive is now becoming possible and it will certainly save many lives, even if our lifestyle over the last 30 years has not been right due to the success of the times and stress. Care for the elderly is first class and available to anyone who needs it. It is no longer decided whether a person is poor or rich, the problem of each individual is dealt with correctly.

In 2040, every citizen of the Czech Republic has the right to intervene in electoral issues. People have enough money to eat, everyone has a job, and the young are entitled to many benefits to start their lives. Energy prices have finally come down and green space has grown significantly across the country.

Technický rozvoj a rozvoj AI
An ideal world, everyone working for one entity, the world interconnected and traveling from one corner of the planet to the other is a matter of hours. Faith will not be a problem, it will remove all violent ideas and promote human development and growth, not enslavement of humans in order for a small group of people to control their environment. There is already a permanently manned base on the moon and the foundations and possibilities of a Mars settlement are being built. Everyone is doing what they are interested in, the main work is being done by AI-driven technology. Unfortunately, times will probably be different. After Russia's war with Ukraine, the world will be divided into six major entities Europe, the US, Russia and the Asian group of countries and oil exporting countries. These groupings will be fighting over the planet's mineral resources, which will be depleting or in short supply. Everything will have, only an economic market character . Backed by military deterrence. Which means whoever has the greater economic influence and military power will rule with their commanding justice. Social ties will collapse and the divide between the classes will widen.

Vuonna 2040
I ride my hydrogen-powered bicycle all over Finland. Relatives, sights, experiences. I have met many people on similar bicycles on my journey. A great feeling of togetherness! We have remembered the time when similar journeys were made on electrified bikes. They have not been used for years. Hydrogen has replaced the use of electricity worldwide - despite the opposition of oil-producing countries. Cars, trains and other means of transport are now hydrogen-powered. With new, environmentally friendly technologies, I have started to travel abroad again. The development that started in Finland is most clearly visible in Europe. People seem to have regained their zest for life. Optimism has taken over. This is most evident in Africa, where food is being prepared in a way that takes account of the changes brought about by climate change. New varieties have been developed that can cope with less water, erosion has been corrected by planting trees and shrubs. The global shift towards plant-rich food is also reflected here in large green areas. In turn, basic livelihood security has brought greater peace. Weapons still exist, but their intensity effectively limits their use and increases the risk of conflict.
